Natasha MaginleyFrancis Poems

STRANGE FRUIT

From this tree I hang, motionless
Like a dry leaf I hang, lifeless
...

When I met her for the first time
I was amazed at her presence
She was nothing I expected
Confidence just seemed to ooze from her
...

Dem Ole time something
Bring back a bag a memory
And a wealth a knowledge
And what a belly hotting laugh de ge we.
...

Oh! To be free
Free from PAIN
Free from SUFFERING
Free from CRIME
...

Graduation day

Today is our graduation
And we are leaving all our friends
...

Graduation is a special Time
To show what you have done
A time for all of you to share
What your future has to come
...

I believe in love at first sight and happily ever after
I believe I was made in the likeness of my creator
I believe there is life after death, although I have not seen it yet
I believe my mother watches over me from above
...

Thrusting In and Out
Up and then Down
I love your ability to change
From soft to Hard in one instant
...

The devil appears in different forms
And has the ability to settle right up against the norm
A talented soul is he
He can transform his image into the likeness of mankind
...

AN INNOCENCE LOST

Delicate like the green pastures
Of which we were told
...
