          The Barefoot Child.

Allow me to introduce, the Barefoot Child.

Her mother a cobbler; her father, shoemaker
But, she is barefoot.
  
SHe sold the shoes on Saturdays.
Clean the unsold ones on Sundays
While, still barefoot.

SHe knows all the styles, she brags.
Her parents say, most are her designs
So, why is she barefoot?

Perhaps the barefoot child cannot realize
She and others don't look alike
Perhaps she could; perhaps she's blind.

The barefoot child races the rocky mountain. Carrying all the shoes, picking up those fallen 
Steps on spines, falls in puddles
Yet running singing with a broken big toe:
Daughter of a cobbler, daughter of a shoemaker 
here's your shoe, here's your shoe
Again, she's barefoot.

That girl looks familiar somehow
I am not sure, perhaps she sold me shoe last time.
Oh no! I am barefoot. Oops I am barefoot.

Barefoot, while I am
Daughter of a beautiful island
Pristine beaches, lush mountains
Green pastures, so much arid lands
But many hungry mouth begging.

Perhaps, the Barefoot Child didn't need introduction.
We walk on her shoes on Sundays.
We walk her path on Saturdays.
She's that child, with a familiar face.

The barefoot child's uncle owns a vineyard
She asks the child to tend her vines
The child waters the grapes
But, she never ever tastes the good wine

Who's the joker on the vineyard?
The Barefoot Child
Who never gets to taste the wine?
The Barefoot Child.

The Barefoot Child works from dusk to dawn
But her parents take the profits
Sometimes they do not even leave the crumbs
So she's barefoot wandering the streets

The Barefoot child wears red and blue
Her grandmother, cotton picker; 
Her master, factory worker
And that barefoot child is my mother 

Haiti is a barefoot child
An stunning island like no other
Freedom's pioneer 
But her own kin, holds her prisoner.









If You Forget Me.

If you forget me,

I guess I'll be alright.

Because I only remember you sometimes.

All that's left of you is a blur.

So, I will be fine for sure.

If that little blurry memory is gone,

will you be okay moving on?

Without me, for you to hold on.

-Queen Crowndy-

Sour.

              
Pour, pour, pour some more,
Until my cup overflows.
I know you were bad for me.
But I liked feeling tipsy.
Obsessed.
You were my bad habit.
So many times, I tried to stop thinking about you.
No rehab can help my memories refrain from trespassing.
Fine! I will pay the fines;
However, you are still fine enough
For me to label this toxicity "love".
Destructive yet addictive.
Sour, bitter, heartbreak, and tears.
Yet, this heart still goes beep beep beep
When you are near
Pour, pour, pour some more.
Lemonade or cesaree
I'll enjoy every single sip,
Even though I know,
This cup was meant for better beverages.
Where did my innocent feet take a wrong turn?
I cannot help but wonder,
But still, as soon as I see you I wander.
Between you and I
There's a magnet.
Chemistry? Perhaps.
Illusion.
Ill drink lemonade or tequila to celebrate what I can change.
For those, I can't
Hello server, I think i need something stronger.
Nothing sweet.
Sour.

I Am No Angel.

Sorry for giving a too well first impression.

Perhaps If I did not,

You would not have of me this much expectation.

You would love me whole,

Qualities and all my flaws.

But,


When you first said you love me.

I ask myself why!

I did not ask you,

Because I was battling with myself to believe I deserve the best.

So,


Although, I was suffered, broken beyond repair.

I put on my good girl skirt,

Because "good girls" is all they taught me to be.

Only if I knew how to be myself,

I would not be here justifying that I am no angel.


I could have been honest!

But listen,

I was too scared to take off the mask, then end up alone.

I should have been confident but, how could I,

When I tried to love you before I even knew how to love myself?


Love me more than I hope you loved me.

More than I love you,

Love me flaws and all.

So,


Sorry for expecting too much,

Because before asking you to love me whole,

I must learn how to do it myself.

Perhaps then, I will be worthy of being love,

Flaws and all.

Modern Temptation

Eve walked into the garden to clear her mind.

Adam, obsessed by his power, paid her no mind.

Her, So lonely and vulnerable,

Him, finding her ignorance adorable.

How much would a man thank his God

for creating him, possession of a lifetime?


Adam sat peacefully on his armchair.

He was admiring every other species, while his, still not there.

He drank his chamomile tea then headed to bed.

Meanwhile, Eve was laughing at every joke with Lucifer.

It was not her intention to cheat,

But this was the first time she could be carefree.

How could a woman resist a man,

Who made her feel more than just a woman?


Adam snored and dreamed.

He could not believe his eyes,

When his woman opened her mouth.

Bloody devil! Adam yelled.

But too late, Lucifer went back to hell.

How dare a woman be disobedient

To the man, who is the reason for her existence?


Adam knew he had a choice,

He could let God banished her,

But he was jealous, knowing once in hell,

Eve would fall in love with Lucifer.

So, he consciously bit the fruit,

Thought his God would be forgiving,

The little both did not know,

this modern temptation would carry to their next generations.


Eve walked out of the garden,

While Adam was telling God,

It was not his fault, but the woman.

Playing the victim, but I wonder:

"How would she be seduced,

If he paid her attention".

Yet, we all blame Eve,

Since there, they label her the mother of Sins.

But do we even understand,

How does it feel to be created for a man?

What I Am Without A Poem

Lost, depressed, a walking corpse.

Lovemaking without lust.

Maybe just a body, just a breath.

A basic plot without a twist

Perhaps I am a hit song without a hook.

A honeymoon without the groom.

Why not a janitor who lost her broom.

Or a recorded song without a tune.


What I am without a poem,

If not, a bird who cannot sing.

Maybe an acrobat who cannot swing.

Perhaps I am a writer with a broken pen.

Or a body in tremendous pain.


What I am without a poem,

They call it incognito.

So, I pray that I never know.

Because I would not survive without verse and prose

                 Sak Pase?  

Nap boule!

Boule tan an sann
Sann ki fè bouyi sanm
Paske apre tout tan
N pase sou ban
Yon bann delenkan 
Met efò n anba flanm.

Nap boule san kontwòl
Sa ki pou ta fyète n
Sak moutre mounite n
Nou koute vòlè ak kòl
Yon bann sanginè sou peywòl
Ap fè n jwe vye wòl 
Kraze, brize ak fè anpil bagay dwòl.

A pwòp men nou,
Yo fè n touye lespwa
Rann sòl la envivab 
Pandan yo gen refij yo laba
E se sak fè

Nan yon peyi ekonomi an bès 
Olye pou yo te kreye travay
Yo fèn fè grèv sou grèv
 Bloke wout, boule mache
Fè nap moute yon mòn ak pye n mare
Fè n kwè sa a ta pral dènyè konba
Poutan kondisyon yo Vin pi mal ke denyè fwa.

Sak pase
Anyen serye, nou jis ap boule
Boule kawotchou 
Pou polye lè ke nap respire
Boule kòmès ti machann
Ki pran eskòt pou yo fonksyone

Boule rèv yon jenès 
Boule diyite tifi n yo
Potans ti gason n yo
Inosans timoun nou yo
Ak bravte zansèt yo

Ak kadav nan lari
Nou Boule inosans 
Anba pa moute anwo pa desann
Nou boule linyon 
Nan mennen yon batay Nan avègleman

Sak pase
Nap boule
Men depi konbyen tan
Depi map grandi toujou yon sèl chan
Nou batay yon sèl jan
Mwen oblije mande
Eske n pa wè tout tan sa 
Nou toujou danse yon sèl dans.

Nap boule, 
Wi boule a se sa yo vle
Pou lafimen avegle nou
Poun pa wè sa kap pase
Poun pa konprann sa'n dwe chache

Nou ini nou nan san
Pandan ofon yo pa vle n met fòs ansanm
Paske yo konnen ansanm nou fò
E si fòs sa nou itilizel korèkteman
Yo pap jwenn flanm pou entètènman
Yon bann mafya pap nan tèt gouvènman
Yo pap gen eskiz sou nonn pou yal mande blan.

Paske lè sa yap din sak pase
Ak fòs, amou, fyète 
Nap reponn nap boule
Paske boule sa 
Se boule akiltirasyon

Boule sa ap yon konbit
Kote lari n yo ap pwòp
 nap boule fatra 
Petèt sann yo a sèvin angrè 
Konsa peyizan n yo ap pwodui
Manje n yo ap pi ba pri

Nap boule koripsyon 
Detounman minè
Nap boule grangou
Nap boule lavi chè
Ak tout sak kenbe peyin dèyè.
 
Jiskake yon jou 
Na chanje paj 
E lè yo mande sak pase
Na reponn "nap fete"
Paske jou poun te boule yo 
Fin pase.

Sorry Not Sorry

I rip the bandage of the scars,

It is hurting like hell.

My blood boils in my veins.

As I slit the throat of my innocence.

So never again, I would put on these good girl pants.

Neither apologizes for what others choose to comprehend

Mask off, now face me,

I play no double-cross; nothing can phase me.

I might say sorry for my mistakes but not for how others phrase me.

Cannot be a sorry ass b**, that will not be in my legacy.

Within these lines, I stand strong and tall.

May the one who hasn't sinned throw the first rock.

Then stay on the clear, don't hide because I don't seek.

Many mouths will be running after hearing this piece.

I tried to hold up the façade, but it broke me into pieces.

I played the quiet girl card, the nice girl, empty the whole deck, but got bullied,

I said "forget it" even when I was right but still got stoned.

So why the fuck should I keep up if the white dress still got stained.

If I just said something that hurts someone somehow, I am sorry.

Fuck no, I am not sorry!

I am done apologizing for saying what I mean.

For doing what seems right

For reacting to provoking thoughts and actions

I left that nice girl aside a road trail.

Tired, weak, broken, lost within expectation,

Well, the sleeping beast is now awake!

Fuck all those to whom I apologized when I was not wrong.

Screw the trespassers, the eavesdroppers, privacy invaders!

Screw me, each time I held back the anger and faked a smile!

Screw those who advised me to say sorry just to leave it behind.

My problem is not saying sorry; it's saying sorry when no harm is done.

Or when I am not,

I am done apologizing for what people hear me say over the landline.

It sucks how I wasted apologies, while I never stood up to clear up anyhow,

Someone tried to paint me.

Well, dear self, I am sorry for being sorry for so many craps that did not deserve apologies.

-Queen Crowndy-


-Life in Storms-

Stop wasting your tears!

Sunshine must follow the rain.

You'll be whole again.

-Queen Crowndy-


I should have known something was up,

when I was offered a chair at their table.

I tried hard to amuse them; and they laughed.

Since I thought I was funny,

I got comfortable.

While during the whole dinner ,

I was their joke!

-Queen Crowndy-

Move your fingers over my body.

Touch me in rhythm, 

whisper few words in my ears.

Take my clothes off,

slowly,

on any contemporary instrumental beat.

Talk to me in verse;

talk to me in prose.

Baby! Instead of fucking,

danm let us write poetry!

-Queen Crowndy-

How many bits of insanity drive us insane?

Is it a word, an action, or just one thing on repeat?

After how many cracks does our confidence break

Strike One, Strike One, perhaps an unknown one too

How many lies until we force ourselves to believe?

We're okay, or we'll be fine

How many eyes watching but do not see

Until we finally crash, until the day we snap

How many times do our insecurities find themselves in the spotlight?

Leave us shaking, suffocating with stage fright

-Queen Crowndy- 

Catch Me

If you ever see me falling, catch me

grab me by an ear, hold me without fear

I am not scared of being in love

I just do not want to fall in love.

If you realize I am falling, please catch me

do not wait until my pride hits the ground

or my poor scarred heart, become numb

drag me by my feet if I lose my reason.

I cannot witness my heart in million pieces

I do not want regrets to haunt my dream

so as soon you think I am falling, be ready to catch me

even if, at the time, I seem to forget that's what's best for me.

Don't let me fall in love; catch me

you promised me that you would

well, I think I am falling in love with you

Catch me still, even if I know you love me too.

-Queen Crowndy-

My Moonlight.

Our love is a landscape of beautiful greenery.

Where sparks light up day and night;

and doves dance their melody in a circle,

to the sound of the lute, guitar, and violin,

as I write poetry on your skin.

You redefine time each time I feel your body warmth.

At each touch, I travel miles into the galaxies.

Every kiss feels like ecstasy.

I am beyond addicted to your sweetness,

I think soon, I'll be overdosing.

My moonlight!

With you, my smile reflects like a diamond.

By your side, I feel more substantial than a giant.

For you, I crave love more profound than the ocean;

and my heart only steers toward your direction.

Our love is not a fairytale;

but its beauty surpasses the blossomed flowers.

It is not always made of glamour.

Deep down, there are scars, poison, spines

but I would not trade it for anything,

because, dear moonlight, you are my passion.

Ochan pou Kilti Lakay

Bidip bidap badi bada

Trase Kata, souke tchacha

Gouyad fènwa, danse rara

Depi m piti m renmen chacha


M se fanm yogàn

Kouwòn sou tèt mwen 

Byen plase kou rèn Anakawona

Djakout mwen plen

Anba mapou m dyayi lespwa


Dekabès anba pye mango

Yon bèl ne kann, gason a bann

Lam boukannen piman zwazo

Pawòl tafya, kleren nazon


Kafou Timari, chalè minwi

Simbi nan dlo, solèy midi

Bon bizango pa janm dòmi

Kwazad Karèm chaje plezi 


Bidip bidip, badi bada

Yo di Sent Woz ton fanm modèl

Ayè m mande granmoun

Manman poul kòdase al kwel non

Bidip bidip badi bada

Sa se yon ochan
