Hebert Logerie Poems

(Poème dédié à mon ami, le Poète Luciano Benjamin)

Aujourd'hui est ton anniversaire,
Et celui des combats de Vertières,
...

Stay still so I can admire your portraits
You gazed at me like an angel who will never wake up
Your eyes are blurred with messages and regrets
And your wet lips are warm, pumped up
...

After more than thirty harvests, you have remained the same
Woman that I always cared for
And the one that I love
With the full strength of my soul.
...

Breathe, call me, talk, speak, and yell
Express yourself, quit giving me hell
...

I thank you, Heavenly Father,
For having created me, as I am.
I also thank the Poet Bernard Dadi,
For his words that have strengthened and energized
...

I ponder, I wonder
This question almost drove me crazy
I was saved by a dream. I am a dreamer
I was told in Heaven, there is no blacky
...

Heureuse Comme l'Hirondelle

Heureux comme ce bel oiseau de la nature,
Qui trouve aisément sa nourriture.
...

You left
After death
Knocked at your door
No need to say more.
...

Les lents et longs sons
Des violons
Les chansons
Des accordéons
...

If you are sad today, go back
To the last time you were happy
Turn the pages to find the funny
And the pretty faces that have cracked
...
