Struggle

I’ll stick on you like crazy glue.

Who?”  “Me or You?” I thought, I wish to say;

The greeting card I read, treasure, your photo in display,

on the wall, in my heart, an empty house

an empty space: your presence I’d seek

up and above—can’t find you in this ‘kinda race.

I laugh out loud to the face in disguise

broke my heart—left me, weeping, feeling unwise

Love—turn its back to the struggles of my yesterday.

Was it a test? I loose— you win!

“How do you feel, Jamaica, Trinidad, Africa, Dominica

Haiti, India, Barbados, Europe, the USA

How do you feel ‘Me” on this mystical day?”
