Bad Valentine


He whispers in your ear and says "Baby will you be my valentine tonight?"
He holds your hips as you tip to kiss his  beautiful lips 
You close your eyes as you remember the times
The times he would shake you and shout and scare you 
The candle light shines bright as his brown eyes sparkle
Could you really be his valentine tonight?

He raises his hands and you shiver with fear 
The love you have for him is still there
His strong cologne consumes your thoughts as you fall prey to his charm
Will I once again give in and be his one last time?
How could one person look so good yet cause me so much pain
All I want is just to feel his love all over again

The night runs on and he showers me with tender care
The candle blows out and I know his powerful blow is near
He pauses and smiles and says remember "you are mine tonight my dear"
The day is Valentine's Day and love is in the air
The air I breathe is filled with fear mixed with hate

Love is around but hate walks near by
One kiss then a hit and the love is no more
The champagne is warm yet the night is cold
He whispers in my ear" Baby you will die tonight"
Love is a beautiful thing but it can make the wisest woman a fool
So tonight, the one who was destined to be my valentine I will fight for my life
The kisses still linger, the roses still represent the romance
I close my eyes as I prepare to give of myself to my valentine tonight

Loving a black man that doesn't love me

Image source: Google Images His beautiful dark skin made rich from the earth, his physical strength supporting where I am physically weak, his beautiful smile and then the depth of his speech. In a world where the wrongs that he has done is spoken about more frequently than what is good about him. I see the beauty in black unions,I see the beauty in black souls connecting, I see beauty in being by his side. The issue is, he no longer sees beauty in me. We walk paths these days paved with the broken connections. Couples who once professed to be so deeply in love now pretend to not know each other. We walk paths  where you can pour the purest of love into the vessel of a man/woman and they remain empty. On one side, we have black men who believe that black women have lost their worth. They have lost the meaning of what it means to be a Queen. The black man believes that the black woman has wrapped herself in the labels that society has placed on her. The black woman is ofte...

The Jamaica of tomorrow

When shall the change come? Crime and violence ago continue and mash up Jamdung? Street lights come on at night and our window lids we shut tight tight No kids on the street, no time to meet and greet Why can't we no longer walk at nights? Why we don't have no peace? Police men guard the streets  Kids run quickly pass them not sure if they police or just undercover gunman and thief Thousands complete their university education but student loan awaits them in every gleaner publication Jamaica is such a beautiful nation, nice food and nuff happiness and sweet jubilation Wait a moment and turn the  TV off the international station Turn the dial to our local station No more happiness and sweet jubilation Blood flowing in the streets of poverty and ever increasing destruction You have the answers? Tell us how we need a change in politics Five years time and we still have the same corruption  You tell me to smile because better must come I ...

The Young are being murdered

The death of the young By:©Saccheen Laing I put on my uniform Armed with books I set out in search of a good education. Streets lined with the blood stains of those who fell on the way  I'm determined to live to see another day But I have no control over those who believe they can have their own way. Armed with guns and knives  They attack me, They assault me, They abuse me , Because they believe they have control over me Because of guns and knives in hand. In my hands I write my plans A singer, an actor, a doctor, a fashion designer or a police man  I clench my fist as my blood runs to join those who fell before  My plans remain in my hands Never to be realized I am young but that means nothing on this land. The blood of the young will replace the ocean that surrounds and beautifies the land How many more shall die before you answer when I ask why? My mother shall cry and bury her son before he becomes a man My brot...
