Tracey Tucker Poems

You’re my soul mate
I know it, I feel it, its fate
You were born June 8,1977
I was born June 1,1977

In Loving Memory of Derrick Gilbert Johnson
July 6,1963 – July 6,2009
...

Like the script of a romance novel
Where lonely hearts find love so true
I wish I could write a script
The story of me and you
...

In Loving Memory of Venetta Powell
Nov 4,1963 – April 10,2007

If only I could
...

Ackee & saltfish, fried dumplings and some chocolate tea,
That’s how Sunday morning started out for the family
Weekdays we were too busy to sit together and eat,
But we look forward to our Sunday morning treat

My mother couldn’t understand why
I turn away sometimes
I don’t think I can explain it to myself either
It’s one of those complications in life
...

I finally gave up
Trying to fit into that box
Built by society
Tellling me what was acceptable
...

What are you going to do?
Live,
What else is there to do?
As long as I am still breathing then I am meant to be alive
