Whether you fold the weather in your arms
Or make the honeyed singing brooks to twinge;
Whether you disregard your dashing charms
Or your beauty, with insults, you did swinge;
...

Your love is liquor, in it I am drunk,
I stagger up and down, not satisfied,
I take more, and my soul is amplified,
As I recount I’ve lost being in a funk,
...

The dream.
Yes, I love the dream,
What a beautiful feeling
And a sense of serenity
...

My dream is a small dream
Like a candlelight
The light looks insignificant,
But it is always a light
...

Oh, they’ve taken the light again,
Black out across the streets and skies,
Black out on the nation.
PHCN holds the light; NEPA takes it away,
...

Am champion,
Consolidate my championship lead.
I’ll only cruise
To my consecutive Grand Prix win,
...

Am a kind of slave:
Am set free
To die
Now
...

Hello, Mr. Master
I want you to know
What you feel you know, but you
Never could admit until this moment:
...

Put out the fire in the backyard,
It is eating up
The barn and the cassava farm.
The plantain plantations are all gone.
...

His fingers on one note then next note
Plucked the piano with the words he wrote
On the slabs of fire;
Syncopation, swing and counterpoint
...

I've always wondered why I
Have something about myself that
Often I want to hide. I grappled
So long with this, why I ever wanted
...

...

...

...

...

Farewell, I say farewell;
The ants as small as they are
Need not be told about
The advent of the rains.
...

He has a tent by the beach
He eats the sands and crabs
Within the white linen robe he wears.
And with his thickly tangled hairstyle
...

I need
Someone,
Someone,
To hold,
...
