Love is the four letter words
I humbly feel for thee
My heart is like tuneful bird’s
It belongs to you and me
...

As sweet as sweet could be
I admire how you adore me
For all the glitz in life you see
Are made for me and you for free.
...

For the day, for the day, just for the day
For the day the prophets say
We live terrified whilst waiting for the day
For the day all men will pay
...

My mama’s words were the first to say
She taught me how to sing and pray
And how to hope for a better day
She gave me comfort in due dismay
...

Sweet dreams to all,
Whoever wish they could have it
And night gleams which fall
Be made to charm all who despise it
...

Nora and I were high school friends
She said she liked how life’s will blends
She and I had a slight difference
She lied to me and her tight, good friends
...

I do not have what riches give
Or gold or beauty as you will all perceive
What I have that’ll make you believe
Is my gift of poems to you
...

I knew a maiden who always smiled
A thousand dimples and her voice was mild
She spoke of roses with her sweetened lips
And commanded graces with her curvy hips
...

Crimson is for sunset
Blue is for skies met
As colorful as life may be,
It will never be perfect.
...

To huut, to huut, to huut
The dirges sound aflute
My voice in a manner hoot
To huut, to huut, to huut
...

Better see me with due disdain
For all the misery and all the pain
I’ve brought this world without a care
A poet recites; my odd diseur
...

I had a crush on this lovely lady
She came from Ghana, I came from Haiti
She was the first among so many;
The loves of my life if there were any
...

Happy birthday I say
And hope it gives you joy
Have a nice day I pray
I hope it makes you coy.
...

Why can’t I be what I want to be?
So the world won’t be my enemy
And my dreams won’t be so dead to me
Why can’t I, why can’t I?
...

Now the day is almost over
Children’s voices echo nearer
Nearer dearer like always ever
...

My hand is sweaty, my heart is cold
My eyes are teary, I can’t be bold
My hopes have failed me, a thousand fold
And now I’ll worry, until I’m old
...

Forever young is best my love
The youthful love is sweet
Our cozy love is all we have
And yet it comes complete.
...

I do not remember since last I smiled,
So genuinely to soothe my mind
The lonely years that I have compiled
Are filled with tears for the woes of mankind
...

it’s hard to be what everybody wants me to be
when nobody understands me
I try at times but no one understands me
I’m lost to the world and to you
...

Not all are pretty, not all are great
A night in Florence is all it takes
Tonight my sweetie, I will side with fate
For anguish and torment is all life makes
...
