Ihi yahnh ihi
Dance the calypso
Step to irie nuh ire
Life’s everliving love song
Though mi throat coarse

Mi wi sing fi yuh
Expression through patois, interesting to try and wrte as the language is so beautiful

Babylon
Joshua Solomon Mar 2018
In Babylon
Under golden skies
Though we look for liberation,
Candle wings will often soften in the sun.

Tea leaves & Lemon
Joshua Solomon Mar 2018
Sweet like tea &
Drops of lemon
I come from sugar,
But not sweet like you.

Desdemona
Joshua Solomon Feb 2018
Blessed, as I have loved the Sunset
Wrapped inside a nightdress
I confess, Desdemona
I love you
Heaven is hard to get to, but
In your eyes
Heaven knows that I have seen the sun rise

May it never fall

Fluoxetine
Joshua Solomon Dec 2017
I do not get to choose my sins
But when 'I' becomes 'We'
Illness becomes Wellness
That, I do believe

Untitled.1
Joshua Solomon Nov 2017
Preaching gospel from the streets
Outside of a hostel
Where the sun goes down, doubles up as a Brothel
Black ******* a step
Her hands raised to her savior
Tall Man, White Coat
He shines bright with elegant behaviour
An Angel
Outstretched palms he quotes psalms
Even talks like an Angel

" Thirty-Seven:Four, take delight in the lord
Follow the white light
It will open doors
Follow me
I am the wise King Solomon
My wisdom is unmatched
You are the great Queen Sheba
Your beauty, untapped "

Beautiful Dark Skin
A nightly lamb
She had never tasted Sin
Six men stand wanting her to let them in
So she glows
Glitter in the nighttime
Venus in the sky
Her tears soft, like watercolours when they dry

Senju
Joshua Solomon Nov 2017
Lost
another grain in a sandstorm
stranded & forlorn
windswept & dust born
a Stranger

— The End —
