Best Marley Poems

Sun is shining as I sing my redemption song.
Hey lady, no woman no cry, lets spread one love.
Jammin', spreading positive vibrations so strong,
like three little birds easy skanking with a dove.

Hey lady, no woman no cry, lets spread one love,
turn your lights down low and...

“One love…one heart, let’s get together and feel alright…
As it was in the beginning (one love), so shall it be in the end (one heart); give thanks and 
praise to the Lord, and I will feel alright…” Bob Marley, Prophet.


I and I, 
and together, we,
are...

Bob was the greatest,
 Mr Marley was the best,
 Guitar in hand,
 Words from his lips,
 Puts your mind at rest,
 He left us great music,
 He left us great thoughts,,              ...

Scrooge encountered the ghost of Jake Marley,

    While slurping his bowl of blah barley.

       From thence, as we know the plot thickens,

         As from past sins Scrooge fled...

Rasta Master(For Bob Marley)

Like the lion of Judah ,

Lying on the coast of hope,

With the turban of gold crown,

From the mountain of glory,

His mantle of office adorn.

 

Clad in a regalia of reggae,

To do the regatta acloud again,

The buffalo soldier hosts the banquet.

 

All around...

Whose dog is it? Someone queried.
The rest of the neighbors laughed.
Look at his colorful tam
Look at his dreads
It is Marley’s dog
Or an impersonator, someone suggested...

Given board and room.
 A face, teeth, soccer ball feet and an almost perfect face. Funny when he shaves, He craves, begs, checks and says.... "Ndakamuka."...

Did you ever Roberto Nesto … the reggae maestro
Decorating rocks in the ghetto … children’s falsetto
Rising for liberation from tenures of poverty
Logwood lit from the shredded ash of ganja smoke
Rising to rinse the heart of woe … the clarity
Of things about his ragged ghetto …...

You were  the heart of us,
Throat of musicians,
King of reggae,
A mad singer,
Created hearts on guitar,
Breathed love on each   note,

Cannabis on your lips,
Fragrance's to music,
Weed stain on your lips,
Symbol of ecstasy,
Long curly hairs,
Frills your notes.

you were the 'one love',
Notes were flesh and, meat...

Marley, Marley, Marley
I miss you more every day
I miss your snuggles
I miss your cuddles
I miss your unconditional love

Marley, Marley, Marley,
I had no idea I would fall in love with you the way I did.
You wormed your way into my heart and into my life.
My soul...

A glimpse into your eyes
 I see a reflection of myself
 Innocence starring back I can't help but kiss
 As one tear falls
 My beautiful beauty
 Soft & sweet 
 My heart is overwhelmed & heavy
 Love is blooming, oozing from every pore
 No words...

My heart melted when I first met you
I felt the connection -
one abused soul
to another
and a friendship was forged of fun and of good times
and then you were gone
when your medication
made you psycho
and now i will never be the same....

Elsie Marley was a playful, middle child, with five sparkling siblings,
Living on emerald, Willow Brook Farm, underneath skies very citron.

Everyone in the family lent a hand, at skillfully managing their farm.
At twelve years old, Elsie joined in, like golden bees, flower charmed.

Every fleeting day was...

I wanna rule my destiny, like Buju
Be free to connect with nature
Maybe learn a little Voodoo
Uplift my spirituality
Am I in a horrible dream
Or is this bondage my reality

In a parallel universe
Compelled to move forward
But Earth appears to be going in reverse
Am I wrong to feel...
