Long Cold wave Poems

What is winter in Jamaica like?
When you were shivering the entire night
What is winter in Jamaica like? 
When you have no heating all night
Couples bundle up underneath the covers
Trying to keep each other warm
But the...

The New Year has come wafting on the wings of winter
The high latitudinal areas of the northern hemisphere
Would be in the grip of frequent snowstorms severe
Throwing life in desolate isolation and out of gear.
The cold...

A fragile butterfly, hope,
wings of iridescent blue,
flitting just beyond reach
in the gray landscape of despair.

One moment, a flutter near the heart,
a whisper of possibility on the wind,
a single ray of sunlight piercing the clouds.
A reason...

Whats supposed to be the order
of things that just happen,
Is it supposed to have a flow
or is it supposed to be random,
The phantoms, I can hear 'em,
Man its too hard
I cant bear 'em,
Memories too vivid

Ghost, River, Shiver, Gaze, Wicked, Cold


Someone stood by the river,
I was glad I wasn’t going to be the only one,
I was to come with my grandfather,
But he had been unwell.

How cutely and compactly you fasten,
My shirt and coat and make me smart looking;
Could I fancy my woolen coat open,
For a chilly cold wave to break us through?

like a lion with its prey
the wave growled and snarled
while crouching, preparing to pounce.
Rushing up the sloping shingle beach,
it reached out and dragged pebbles
down into its lair.

I heard
the rasping raking of the beach...

? Sitting here alone on the beach
My LOVES presence out of reach
In one swift motion
My feet lead to the Ocean

I am your love slave

A rising river makes a rumbling sound
foaming at the mouth like a rabid beast.
And it swiftly slithers over its banks
like a ravenous snake sensing a feast.

Its musty odor saturates the air,
forewarning wildlife of its arrival.

Snug within a mountain cave
I dream of catching fish
Brr! Can still feel this cold wave
For warmer climes I wish

While it's snowing hard outside
I sleep and snore and dream
Throughout winter, here I hide
Away from frozen stream

But...

the heat was intense,
the burn was fast ,quick and big,
the raze went inside with deep sense,
the temperatue rose and rose,
till all matter began transforming,
everything stayed in same position and pose,
it could not move,
so also I...

I'm water, though I'm like a pearl.
Hung on a crown of thorns, I swirl
My form and shape slowly alter.
Though I'm like a pearl, I'm water.

I'm born, like a crystal, tonight.
Tomorrow's sunbeams I've to fight
From my...

A secret
Those cool evening breeze in summer season
And those empty spaces of my fingers
Which only remind me of your fingers
And when I close my eyes, I don't know why I smile remembering only the fragrance...

"what is your wishing? 
my little child, my little idiot
didn't you listen to cross-eyed man?"
"as you may know", 
whispered the deranged father, 
"inveterate dreamers 
have the most fragile belief in life
they're chain-smokers by nature
and with...
