Best Blaze A Trail Poems


Monsoon Mojo
Let's go out and frolic in the rain
Shove aside all cares and be vain,
In this stormy night from nothing refrain
Neither cry foul nor complain,
Drench to the core and raise cain,
Clap with the thunder once again
And blaze a trail in the lightning domain,
Drive this sassy storm...

Saluting Our Heroes
Jamaica is our island’s name,
A land blessed with so much fame.
And for the part that our heroes  did play,
We pause to reflect and salute them today.
Nanny  of the Maroons was a heroine ,true and brave ,
And fought with all her might not to...

Premium Member Our Friend, the Sun
When morning comes and grass is dewed, 
one looks beyond the window's view
The crimson sky, announces you
You spread a warmth, with revelry, 
You take our breaths, you awe the eyes
Old friend, possessor of the sky, 
you tint each cloud while passing by
O' morning friend, O'...

Premium Member Autumn - a Ballade
I catch a glimpse of you in summer deep		
Your auburn tresses floating through the trees	
Where at the sight of you a willow weeps		
And throws her golden leaves upon the breeze	
As you almost bring me to my knees			
Your beauty filling me with such desire		
As I turn...

These shifting poles, I sit and ponder.
As flocks of birds fall from the yonder.
But I have dirty clothes to launder.
I have no time for this.

Some Beetle's killing all the trees.
and something's swatting swaths of bees.
But I have to take care, or my pipes will freeze.
I...

Premium Member The Gift
Old friend you came where grass is dewed, 
Dear friend, you came to start anew
A rooster crows announcing you
I stretch and yawn, and wash my face
and shuffle down to start the race

Dear friend, beyond the window's view
the dark has left, and worries too,
the bacon sizzles,...

Her First Verse
I like to dream, yes, that is me
of places new and fine to see.
To stream through night skies with a star,
or float on cotton clouds afar.
What new adventure could life hold
for someone creaking and so old?
I think I'll follow grandchild one,
she's going somewhere to have...

Premium Member When I Was a Boy 1960s
I saw one flag raised and another fall
I saw the great lie of justice and equity for all

I saw a crisis that stopped the world
I saw a wall to keep out the cold

I saw a man in the outer limits of space
I saw the beginning...

Addiction
Once upon a time I used to be your addiction 
Now you're living in a world where you can't tell the difference between fact and fiction 
Your habits are slowly killing you and they're killing all of us too
Wish you weren't so blinded to all...

Premium Member By Queen's Decree
In days of old the poets told a tale
A scout rode out to search the unforseen
To gather food and drink, to blaze a trail
A pious nobleman, charged by his queen

He was a fearless man and very wise
Outwitting those mistaking him a fool
His principles he would...

Mahogany Love
Come take a ride on my ebony thighs; 
Sink deep into my intoxicating velvet walls 
Envision black, brown, skin soaking up the moonlight 
Touch my lips, with kisses, hard and full of passion
Embrace the beauty, lust, love-taste the forbidden, this is ecstasy
As the moonlight wraps...

MY DREAM

I want to see the northern lights 
blaze a trail across the dark skies of a starless night
I want to meet my hero from beyond the grave
 he who has mastered the abyss of hell and survived...
only to be flunk back upon a broken...

Know Yourself
Know Yourself, and discover what your strengths
Are, utalizing those strengths as a force.
Be a force for change, in your range and length.
Blaze a trail, and watch nature take that course.
Know Yourself! Discover where you are weak;
Weak in your mind, body, soul, or spirit.
Overcome being weak...
