Erika Heslop Martin Poems

The Sea got out of its terrible dream,
Rocking back and forth releasing steam,
Spitting out some gorgeous little creatures,
Along with some pulchritudinous articles.
...

The struggle,
The toil, the depression, the frustration,
Striving towards self actualization,
Life can be so hard,
...

Fear not the failure that comes before success.
Fear not the criticisms that test your character.
Fear not, the old age that comes with wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
Fear not poverty that can be eliminated with wealth.
...

Look out world, here comes "Lightning Bolt".
The fastest man in the world.
Breaking world records is his favourite hobby.
There is a picture of him in every hotel lobby.
...

Sweet Jamaica, the land of my birth,
A tiny speck on this earth.
An island surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.
The place for the best vacations.
...

As long as I inhale and exhale, I have hope.
As my Creator sustains the heart beat, I have hope.
As I open my eyes to a brand new day, I have hope.
As my ears continue to enlighten me with the magical sounds of nature, I have hope.
...

When you asked me if I loved you and I said no.
I lied, I don't know why I did.
But I know that I love you and you know it too.
So why did you ask me that question?
...

Let's have funn!
Put all your cares to, the only Begotten Son.
Kick off your shoes,
Get rid of the blues,
...

Angels encamped around Jesus everyday
Messages of glad tidings they brought his way.
Their garments were as white as the cottony clouds in the sky
They were always on a spiritual high.
...

Love flows from my love cocoon
It overflows from me to you
Like a cup that is full and overflowing
My love is overflowing
...
