Locked up and Shackle
But no chains to tackle
Try to speak
Am I really so weak
...
Do not know what to do
Do I really love you?
The is what I ask
To find out is my task
...
I am the sweetest Fool ever known
A Black soul of love unsown
...
I don't know how to start
To express the feelings of the heart
So today I put on paper
My words to my lover
...
I run to the left, I run to the right
I will run until my legs take flight
For love so true
Oh a love so true
...
Oh how I want to sleep
But the mornings quickly creep
With rays of monstrous light
Which completely kill my night
...
Time stops with each breath
I wonder what's left
Thoughts flying throw my mind
Oh God, she looks fine
...
Here we go again
Another dark patch in a life of pain
Your sun shine is my scorching heat
A soulless body moving to a mundane beat
...
I am too good a friend
Loyal to what end
I am here when you cry
When you are flying through the sky
...
It is sad to see the our friendship end
Like a bottle of ink without pen
Like words for a poem to be repeating
But no paper to keep them flowing
...
I never thought I would feel this way
Lost, abandon, hopeless like a stray
But life has shown me its two face coin
It gave me joy, so its second face I had to join
...
Tired of be last
Tired of being the past
Tired so solving the problems of other
But my tears can never fall on the shoulders of brothers
...
With Eyes as bright as the sun
A smile that brings joy and fun
With a presence that unmistakable
You have a body so enjoyable
...
To Specail to realise
To important to Customize
This is what we thought
...
No smile, I ask why
No tear, No cry
Happiness all gone
Your joy all done
...
A shocking display
Coming straight my way
Mouth open, nothing comes out
There is still time, without a doubt
...
I am a born St.Lucian. I have been writing poems for a while but had no place to put them. I have lost hundreds of poems due to lost books and computer crashes and because of that I stopped writing. Now I have decided to start back and I have found a place where I can put my poems and have people who love poems to read them. I started writing because I love the way artist used words to describe a moment in time. I love how rapper play with word to say what they feel and I started trying out and I enjoyed it. So here I am writing slowly I hope you enjoy what I write do not be afraid to comment)
I Know Why A Cage Bird Sings
Locked up and Shackle
But no chains to tackle
Try to speak
Am I really so weak
Try to write
But only darkness, my light
I know why a cage bird sings
Words once rolled like thunder
Now silent like a baby slumber
No paper for my expression
Paper but no pen for the lesson
I know why a cage bird sings
Sentences on paper like the page is blank
Emptiness and despair is all I drank
Unable to perceive what really is true
Once considered the best, my question, what to do?
I know why a cage bird sings
No one holding, no one stopping
The horrors in my mind, causing my failing
I am my destruction
Like monstrous volcano with no eruption
I know why a cage bird sings
I long for freedom
My words are my crown, my kingdom
My words taken away only by me
I need to be strong so I can be free
I know why a cage bird sings
A song so sweet to the ear
Unable to move, brings only a tear
This is how I feel inside
Trapped in my body, tortured along ride
I know why a cage bird sings
