Joe
We meet every morning in my AZ themed cup
Thinking of you before I wake up
No sugar no cream hot black
Just us
The beginning
failure
when the whole point is to finish
Something (on time)
and you don’t finish
you have to find a new point
purpose
failure holds lots of purpose
i’m sure
but it’s not the pretty kind
with warm hugs and certificates and
good job and way to succeed
i think that failure’s purpose should be
to not be the bad guy anymore
failure has a bad rap
has acquired a nasty reputation
i’m going to be a fan of failure
i’ve decided
because failure involves action
leaping
not having to sit around and
wonder
what might have been
Poem 24
His heart was bare as day
he wore a shirt that was almost grey
what a sight to see how is stature
was as tall as a green bay tree
He looked as if he was lost
a steer as if he was all the way in space
making his way a bright he thought
looking for a comforting thought
it was evident that he was depressed
looking for a land of rest
bright lights sparkle in his eyes
he felt that it was time
time to see a brand new day
time to embrace comes what may
lost in the heart of gloom,
but his eyes were set on the glow
oh how he must have felt inside
a rocky place bouncing from side to side.

Poem 23
Lost in Nature
Lost in Life
A fun filled place
So magnificent I can
hardly breathe
the essence takes my breath away.
Entreat me not to leave thee
Nor for sake thy lush ambiance
Embrace your gorgeous candesence
I am at a way behind
just trying to absorb the time.

20 MOTHER
I miss you, Mother
I regret most truthfully
that I stayed away from you
most of the time.
That I was not able to tell you
a hundred times that
I love you.
Tho’ it’s rather late
don’t please deny me to tell you
that I miss you, that I love you
My only consolation is –
you’re happy where you are now
We will see each other again
But until then, just this –
I love you Mother, au revoir
Poem 22
As I wake
I can see clearly now
all is in sight.

Poem 21
The Horizon is lit
its like a ball of fire
blazing in the morning sky
the beauty that shines
is so awesome
its like a diamond in the sky.

Poem 20
Moments of laughter
moments of fun
running wild in the Caribbean sun
fruits in season
guineap, mangoes, apples and plum
Summer time is here
lets enjoy the fun
Rivers, beaches, sun and sand
Springs, blue holes
flowing from the lush green mountains
so plain to see so much enjoyment
why not come enjoy the fun
Jamaica land we love
a beautiful island surrounded
by fun.

24 DEAR LIFE
Dear Life,
I owe you
a Thank You and a Promise.
Thank You for all the lessons you gave me
when I fell down.
I Promise you
that I won’t give you the chance
to make me fall twice for the same reason
So help me God.
