POETRY FOR LOVE - ONE KISS!!!!!!!

ONE KISS!!!!!!!

How do I tell her how I really do feel

How do I tell my friend, who cares about me, that I think she's the one for me

Don't want to lose a great friendship that I think can be so much more

Can't afford not being able to be around her because of my selfish needs

Beautiful in every sense of the word both inside and out

Heart made out of love, and a persona so vibrant and courteous

Words designed to make you confident is all that's spoken from her sweet lips

Admiring them in every which way just yearning for one kiss

The closer we get, makes me feel like the friend zone get widens

Leaving my thoughts in shambles knowing the inevitable

I'm poised to take a chance, poised to express my heart but at the same time scared

So I digress and keep my emotions bottled up

Hoping, praying, wishing, that she just might say to me what I wanted to tell her

Making it easier for me to breathe and to feed upon her soul

I'm not jealous of the other men she speak of, its just that none of them is me

They don't know her like I do, how to make her smile like I do

But I guess our actions are seen with different intentions

And that is what I want to change but can't find the way how to

Only time will tell and only God knows when

So for now, my feelings are pushed to the side in order to keep my good friend

I'll never stop admiring those sweet lips

Hopefully one day I'll get that one kiss

SPRING POETRY - NEVER PRETEND!!!!!!!

NEVER PRETEND!!!!!!!

Lack of sleep, stomach grumbling, slight headache starting to settle in 

Still determined, still motivated despite feeling like I got knocked over like a bowling pin 

Was down for a minute, lost sight of my goal, but it seems like I’ve got a hold of my second wind 

Never quit attitude, can’t afford to lose desire, if you think that’s bad, then I guess I’ll continue to sin 

I was never one to give up too easy, always thought that life is like a math problem so there is always a solution 

At times felt stripped of my confidence like how a pimp gets a woman into doing prostitution 

But it doesn’t matter what we believe in but as time passes we ourselves go through evolution 

And it’s for us to learn from this game of life, in order to win, we have to practice proper execution 

Took a few Bayer aspirins, head still hurting but I'm wondering is it really because of stress 

Is my mind playing games with me, am I being used like a pawn like this is a game of chess 

I need to know for myself am I making the right choices, am I really on the road to success 

Am I blinded by other people endeavors? And is my subconscious trying to get me to be my best 

It seems as if I'm finally seeing clearly now all the pain is definitely going away 

My mind is a bit clearer now; I see the path I need to take to finally be on my way 

I’ve been hit and fell down, took a few blows, confidence been shattered and felt some dismay 

But it has made me stronger, tougher than I was before, now I’m ready for whatever comes my way 

Don’t ever think life is easy, the struggles and obstacles are always around the bend 

And they come at no better time when all seems well, and you never expect it to end 

And even through those times it may seem difficult and leave you feeling lonely without a friend 

But always remember that we control our own destiny, we can be all we can be, so always be true to yourself and never pretend

*** Be Yourself, You Can Only Reap What You Sow***

POETRY CORNER - THE VOICE!!!!!!!

THE VOICE!!!!!!!

I’ve got to voice for the people, I got a voice for the soul

I got a voice for the babies; I got a voice for the old

I’ve got to voice for my nation, I’ve got to voice to the streets

I’ve got to voice to the gangstas, I’ve got to voice for the peace

No matter what is going on, you gotta let them hear your voice

So in whatever they are doing, they know to make the better choice

It’s good to listen at times but sometimes we need to speak up

We have to hold our country down so that we can keep up

It don’t matter where we from, could be Haiti or Jamaica

We all get cut the same way, we all hope with the same prayer

We all face the same pain, we all pray for it to get better

So can someone please tell me why do we kill our own brother?

Come on mannnnn……do you know the answer

Oh yeah I used to be shy I never spoke a lot or even spoke up

I got a voice for the media; I don’t believe shit they say because everything is smoked up

So what am I to do, what are you to do, we gotta alleviate for more change

We need to take a stand for what we believe in, because this entire society needs to rearrange

What are you using your voice to do, I hope you don't got your mouth shut

I hope you not being disrespectful, I hope you not calling your girl – slut

Frankly, its none of my business, then again, it is because I’m hearing it

We pass a blind eye to things, saying, it’s not our problem, so we not sharing it

But it affects how we view one another; we tear down instead of building up

We always say love is in the air, but I think it’s polluted because hatred is filling up

I need to hear some voices, voices of love, voices of peace, voices to represent you and me

I’ve only got one voice, we all need to speak up, let’s make this world a better place, and we can do it because it’s very very very easy

POETRY CORNER: MAMA SMILE ON ME

Mama Smile on Me

By: Tamara "Pooka" Spencer

Something happened today and I wished it never would

Somehow I wish I could rewind and edit this part of my day...I would if I could

God decided to take you and I wish He had waited a while

But you will always be in my heart with love till I die.

I wasn’t in Jamaica for too long to remember you but Daddy told me so much..

I didn’t get to hug you like I wanted but I always sent my love.

Mama, Lord knows that I prayed for you each day that passed by

Lord knows the many tears that I cried.

When I found out that you were sick and dying from cancer I was upset, hurt and asked God why

But I failed to realize that sometimes things like this happens…it’s a part of life

Mama you can stay with me in a place inside my heart.

And that way we will never be apart.

I thank you for raising Daddy and making him the amazing man and father that he is today

I thank you for always loving him along the way

Granny my words are not extravagant and lavish..

I’m being simple and true..

Mama if it’s one thing I have to say…it would be I love you
