Tropical Poems

Southern Cross

The Saint Lucia flag reflects the tropical sky,
with the colour blue representing fidelity
and the emerald waters
of the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea.
Gold represents the prevailing sunshine
and, of course, prosperity.
The triangles, they symbolize mountains,
the Soufriere twin Pitons,
and the people's hope and aspirations.
While there, couldn't help but smile,
for tho' located north of the equator,
with my eyes on

TROPICAL STORMS

Tropical storms bring
Devastation, hurt and pain
And harm to others

Tropical Summer

Tropical Summers, where the fruit is fresh
And sweat drips heavily upon the sand
Heat of the Summer clings tight to the flesh
When bodies lie on the sand getting tan
These days of Summer are dressed in wonder
As I sit cool in the shade of a palm
Where the sea breeze moves fronds, I sit under 
Away from the

Squaring My Eyes, Lyrics

I 
Am shame  
In my vice   
Hate the acclaim    

Help me Jesus Christ    
And take away this pain    
My wounds are covered in ice 
Sutures being applied in vain 

My    
Life came   
The world's game

tropical dream

cool breeze flows through trees 
colada in hand on beach 
sun kissed sandy skin

After the party I woke up in a tropical Island

the weather was hot, women were hot,
the beer was cool, and I had a few!
the food was so good, I gorged a lot,
slept with a beauty I hardly knew.
the waves roared in and splashed out all night,
coconut palms wriggled belly dance,
the full moon was drunk and flickered light,
the bats hung upside down in seance!

Tropical Island Surprise

When I was seventeen, they say,
That I was quite a punk,
Living in Las Vegas,
With a lady who was drunk.

Working as a valet,
For a place of ill renown,
When I got a bigger break,
Working as a clown.

Underneath the big top,
I could be myself because,
Nobody recognized me,
For the kind of man I was.

One day, subsequently,
When the crowd was

Tropical Topaz Tranquility

I woke up to the soft  
marigold melodies
of whistling waves,  
reverberating in  
turquoise tunes,  
stirring the sleeping  
sunrise within my soul,  
while the hermit crabs,  
soaked in salty sand,  
creep along the ivory  
shores at a slow pace,  
too eager to find a

After the Party on Tropical Island

Cutting the Deck

Star filled sky
Alive, energy, vibrating night
Enriching sound of the waves
Feeling the wind on a voyage to another world
Listening to the hottest DJs spinning
Top dynamics of music
I strolled up to deck for a little dancing
Hoping for a little love
Showing off dexterous, super-spreader swing moves
Picking a few Dark and Stormy at the bar
Happy with the

I Woke Up On A Tropical Island

Is this a dream? A hallucination! An Illusion!
Is this Beelzebub's magic-mystic-mirage fusion?
Is it a paradise? Nirvana! Stratosphere! Heaven!
Am I in a psycho-physical eerie cloud seven?

I found mangoes, papayas, bananas, and limes.
Rose, lily, jasmine, plumeria, and anthuriums
Parrots, crows, toucans, turacos, antbirds, and manakin
Aren't all these enough to tell me that it's at home I'm in?
