SLEEP FOR NIGHTSLEEP FOR NIGHT-
Sleep for night
Wen di lait, dey dun no show;
Lighting di path for which way ta go;
For di darkness we doe sleep;
Wen di moon don risen;
We’ve all dun fit tha decision;
Ta sleep for night;
Close awa eyes lose sight; (we sleep for night)
dem dun ;
We all sleep for night;
There’s no reason to rise;
We all sleep...

SCENT THE TOUCH OF YOU BEAUTIFUL----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCENT THE TOUCH OF YOU BEAUTIFUL-
The touch of you
Warmed embraced
The scent of you
Lavender frankincense

Closed eyes saw that
Your vessel sweet as honey dew
Beyond sweet your essence true
Scent the touch of you beautiful
Hallelujah

Di touch for you

Di scent for you

WHY THE SUFFERING OF MAN-WHY THE SUFFERING OF MAN-
1. I don't know
I don't understand
The promises of mistrust of man
Why? The misfortune and disarray
Who’s to say we should live this way
Please release
The opening in the skies
Lord Jesus come, come on by
Come down and take your children
Back to Our Father
Elohim
I don't know why we cry
2. I no sabi
I no
Di promises for mistrust...

I Am Called WomanSometimes, I find myself on a battleground
in the present or in sieges from the distant past
It may be a war I've been waging within myself,
a thorn that needs plucking so that I might heal
I wear no crown, nor do I wish to be gowned
in regal robes and sit upon a throne looking down
on anyone. ...

The sea refuses no riversThe sea refuses no river,
Even if it could, it never
Showed resentment
I learned how to hide my feelings,
The emotional game became a contest,
I start with a genuine smile,
My pearly whites, my body postures,
I have given my oppressor over the years
Inner satisfaction, they thought that they had won
Because the counting was yet done
We have learned...

Choose One Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die—quote by Carrie Fisher
You must pick one or the other time has passed
Warning signs have stopped tipped the scales
caution is not priority in here fairy tales
Why come to this, and all for what? All or nothing, the game is on

My overrated FacadeThese scars on my wrists that you just don’t see
This noose around my neck means nothing to me
It’s just the way my life is entrapped by your charm
Your centerpiece of loveliness, you see no harm
No fears, no care,s don’t worry about me
My overrated façade is all you’ll see.
Live your life- Live mine too
Damn! I hate...

Marching For Freedom
Medals on frames stood upright and straight,
Like guns marching on bloody road to Death March
At eighteen, he bore the pellets of war’s cause
Fingers wounded by splinters from a grenade
Spawned by raw courage for freedom’s glory
He counted black hours guarding his troops;
Piloting aircraft and landing on muddy swamp
Worse was the order to kick his dead...

oh how my soul rotsi wonder if this feeling will pass.
if the skin rotting beneath my eyes will become a permanent color of blue,
if the bruises on my knees will fade to nothing more then flesh.
they say this feeling goes away as you age-
im not so sure about that.
i feel the agonizing sensation of pain rotting...

Frame Of Crystal EyesSomehow among the hidden leaves of time
when quietude swerves on a lane,
there is a throb of evening's breath
panting inside those marble eyes
that if I gaze long enough into darkness
your iced look will blink,
to open windows that are locked
by hinges creating angst enmeshed.
The distant screams paint your irises
jutting out from a frame of hard lids
buried deeply...

Daddy Where Art Thoudaddy where art thou
will you come back again
your face stricken with worry
your body always in pain
i am here but I’m lost

but i will dig deep my son
to the depths of my sol

will we wrestle once more
will you tickle my tummy
until i fall on the floor
our laughter will return
