My Poems
This Is For You
*To Sanjae O. Facey*
You’re not my man
Yet you reside in my heart
This is for you,
The man with the eyes
Like the deep dulcet sound of
a melancholic blues
A weh yu a seh fi mi?
You say your heart is drained
And water runs through its veines
Ah, it is blood all right I say
And how do I know, you say?
How can I feel what you don’t know?
Mi a kno yuh story
An dat fi true
And that’s not a threat
It’s my love for you
Like the wounded panther
So is you
Licking your wounds and
You never forget
Your fights, your sorrows
Your loves, your loss
Your heart shines right through
You cannot hide
I saw from day one
Your manly pride
In those deep melancholic angel eyes
Use it wisely and
do it Your way,
Then no one will ever
be right to say
one single word about
Your heart
Not being filled with
pure human blood
You’re not my man
Still you reside in my heart
An mi naa jesta an’ dat fi true

At My Bosom
At my bosom
Lays many a soul
In times of joy
And times of despair
From my baby girl
To my grown up man
And at certain times
My men in between
All quenching their thirst
Of different needs
I comfort
I please
I give them my deepest
Most inner corners of
My very soul

I Won’t Regret
When I get old
I will regret
“This and that”
My Mama says
You will for sure
You know you will
I must not do,
Must not behave like
“This and that”
Or I will go mad
My Mama says
You know it’s true
You know it is
But Mama dear,
Just tell me please
How I am supposed to live
Without forbids and must not do’s?
I can’t, I tell you
I have to know
The sweet little secrets
Of “This and that”
So when my sunset comes along
I will tell to Me
I did all “this” I did all “that”
And I promise you Mama
The regrets I’ll have
Will be like zero
I won’t regret a single thing
So be me mad
I won’t regret
I won’t it’s true

Neither do I
All I see is I and You
We and Us
So who gives a damn bout
whos and whats?
Neither do I

Trying
Trying to make the pieces fit,
It’s like they all went wild,
I’m searching for them bit by bit,
Feeling like a child
I wanna be a good good girl,
So badly it can’t but go wrong,
And one piece here and one piece there,
Won’t ever write the song
Breaking down the system rules,
Tempts me oh so bad,
Loving the dear one of you here,
And the other one of you there,
I think I’m going mad

Till The Day I Die
Sometimes
some things
don’t matter
Sometimes
the loving kiss
of your beloved lips,
wipes away
my darkest demons
in my darkest nights
And for that I love you
till the day I die

Cause Baby I Promise
Oh, how I wish
I could show you heaven,
With all it’s sweetness
And fanciful swarm
Of lust and love
Of anger and need,
I’d show you all
If I could indeed
Come let me take you
To the heaven I know,
The lucid place
Where feelings flow
Like the sweetest river,
Where you need no flare,
Cause Baby I promise
I’ll be meeting you there
Zavannah

Next Time It’s for Real
If death should ever
want another date with me
and say
“Hey Babe, this time it’s for real come dance with me”
Then all my best seductive skills
and the kick in its ass
I did the last
will lustfully fail
And I’d be ready though with a lucid flare
Cause Baby
next time
I know it’s for real

Dealing with Bills
Watcha gonna do
On the 1st every month,
When you emptied your mailbox
And you think you’re having fun
The 1st is the date
Where the cool cash flows in,
Yes? ..well
But it’s also the date
Where the bills having fun,
In the mailbox they mingle
With the ads among
They having a party
Right there in your mailbox,
The ads singing
“Buy me!”
The bills singing
“Pay me!”
So, watcha gonna do?
I’ll tell you what to do
#1. You take a small bomb,
And throw it down your mailbox,
Then you take the run,
Set BLOW!
And watch it going POOF!
#2. You buy the ads
And pay the bills,
And you’re smiling proud
With all your skills
Now ..
This is what happens
If you follow #1,
After set to BLOW!
You’ll be having fun
And solution #2?
Don’t be such a fool

Please Believe Me
Please believe me
when I say I do,
I’d fly right through
the space and time,
To be with you
You shot me down
with that love gun of yours,
And now I’m lost,
I’m nothing without you and your magic cures
So please, please
dear facey,
Without your love
Everythings hazy

I Lost it Again
Oh Dear Lord,
Am I in trouble
But if you ever
catch me on Cassiopeia,
I’ll be having fun up there,
with some cute aliens
And since love is
… yes
What is love?
The touch of your lips?
Flying high in the sky?
Everything?
… or nothing?
Anyways…
… and, noh
I don’t know
… yes i do
Argh shit!
I lost it again
I’m gone – -

In the Shadows
In the shadows of darkness,
I am standing, waiting,
For You
In the shadows of darkness,
I am calling out for the sun,
And my heart is crying out,
For You

I Love You
I wanted to write a love poem to You
But the only words that came to my mind
When I sat down to write some lines
was
I Love You

In My Sleep
I am waiting for my sleep to know,
What daylight cannot say,
The only place where senses flow,
And wash my fears away
For when your wisdom comes to me,
And strikes me with your soul,
Thats when the sorrow that I see,
Makes sense and I feel bold
Zavannah

Falling
My brain is empty
My soul is drained
I need a playback
To do the refrain
My bones are sore
My heart is weak
I’m shaken to the core
I headed for the peak
But I’m falling
falling
down
Zavannah
_____________________________________________
I Wanna
I wanna see what you see,
I wanna see through your eyes
I wanna be the next beat of your heart,
And come along when you fly to the skies
I wanna feel what you feel,
And I wanna feel it with you

The Lady
The worn-out old lady,
Walking down the street,
Looking sad and fadey,
Dragging her weary feet
She reads your mind,
She knows your thoughts,
You cannot hide,
She tried it all
We see her walk
The street each day,
She never talks,
We leave her stay
She’s seen it all,
The rise and fall,
Though sad and fadey,
She’s still a lady

Truth?
WHO?
has the right answers anyways?
We all think we found
The Truth
but ONE
Truth is…
….that
no one knows
The Truth
and
when someone says,
Hey!
Look what I found!
The Truth!
then
another one says,
No you didnt!
I found it!
The Truth is mine!
ASO
ASO
aso
ERGO:
The Truth
is relative
and
THAT
is
The Truth

Fly vs. Man
I wonder
why the fly
is not the most
intelligent being
on earth?
It can look in every
possible direction
at the same time
The man -
- and I do mean
most men -
set their nose
after 1 smell,
- And they keep
following
that same smell
for the rest
of their lifes..
And we all know
that every condition
has more than 1 side
to be viewed,
So why is it
that man
smacks the fly
and not
the other way
round?
I jus wonder..

Hows it Gonna Go
Hows it gonna go
If everybody says
Hows it gonna go
And no one goes
To find out
How it goes
If you go?

The Little White Doll
a lil white doll
goes to paris
paris closed
and the key
broked
now
aint that a shame
for the
lil white doll
so
she figures out
now what to do
she climbs across
the big black walls
but by mistake
she stumbles down
and finds herself
on the other side
of
the man in the moon
now
what would
you do?
the lil white doll
takes a look around
and says to herself
“me seen places
more weird
than this
so here me
stays”
and so it became
and thats just why
the man in the moon
does always
smile
and
since I made
this all up
it could be
all illusion
but you
just never
know..

Lemondrop
Life is like a lemondrop.
Sweet or sour.
Slowly melting
or swallowed
in a single bite.
And like the lemondrop,
you can’t choose
which its gonna be.
So you better think twice
next time you eat
a lemondrop.

Come Along
Come along and
Take the chance and
Spend some time with me
I show you stuff
You never knew
You’d ever gonna see
Through space and time
We take the ride
Come take the chance with me

Til Dig
The blackbird is singing tonight
For you
Escorting you gently to the land of
Unknown
The evening sun sends out its wings
To bid you
Its last farewell
And I travel tonight with you
On your lonely journey
Till we reach the border to the land of
Unknown
Here I have to let go
Of you
To let you find
The sacret place of eternal peace
All by yourself

Thoughts from a Lonely Night
so what tha fuck about me
who really gives a shit about
me banging my head all the way
through that fucking door
no one I tell ya
not a single soul
so the last time I hit the door
the last wise thought I ever had
hit the road and
so now what?
_____________________________________________________
all I really wanna do is go
poof and wash away
like the drop on the leaf when
the wind blew over and
wiped it back to eternity
____________________________________________________
my best my last my forever mine
my love my lover my eternal life
but no such thing but
in my dreams
and me being still the
forever fool

Another Love Poem
Love me most when I don’t deserve it
Love me more when I turn away
Love me when my spirit’s low
and make me fly up high
Love me when I feel I’m lost
and help me walk the line
Leave me when my soul is bright
and you taught me how to fly
Love me most when I don’t deserve it
Love me more if I go away
Zavannah
Poem to My Ex
I’ll tell you this, Mister-I’ve-Seen-It-All
You ain’t seen nothing till you’ve seen what I saw
On my ride through time I watched a few or more of those total eclipses of things I thought in my heart I already knew
My journeys are many but those be rare where my pre-destination was known by me
and though I asked for a two-way fare the ferryman kept telling me he wouldn’t share
So Mister, this place where I am at now
is not for your knowledge and neither is how I got here for you, Mister, to wonder about
Cause the day you’ll find out is the day I’ll be gone to a new destination beyond the sun

Someone just told me I is no poet
Straying, wandering, with a streak of madness
And then…. I saw this giant phallos, and
No, wait…
Wrong poem
”Hey ya, silly! Dis ain’t no poem! ”
Yes, no, I know… but it could have been
It might be. It can be!
With some little fine-tuning I’ll get there
”Oh… megalomania, eh?”
No! noh… just a silly dream …just a dream
”Yeah, daydreamin. Dat’s bout all ya doin, rite?
My means ain’t ta be bullyin ya here…
But I hope ya do kno wat kinda path daydreamin drops ya off at?
Madness! …pure, solid madness!”
Oh, well, yes, I do know a little about that, yes
So, eh… who are you anyways?
”Ah! Nosey little missy ain’t ya?
I is da personified madness at da end of dat path
ya jus took off at, missy,
wen ya ain’t got nothin else ta write about”
Well… I am aware I was running a little short of subjects to write about,
but I was actually trying to write a poem about love and eh… love,
when something else entered my mind,
and then you came along and..
”Sumthin else? Yeah rite! A giant phallos?
Madness I tell ya! Pure madness!
Ya ain’t got nothin else on ya mind dan sex, eh?
Poem my a** …stuff it missy and go ta bed!”
Right. I’m so sorry.
You’re absolutely right.
Sorry
Good night
Zavannah
