Paradise

 

My tropical island in the sun,

with mango, guava,

jackfruit, dafu and monkey bread.

Nature tastes so good,

when relaxing in sunshine,

and having fun.

 

The air smells like perfume,

with accents of cinnamon and spice.

Drinking a dram of ti-punch on ice.

My thirst quenched,

the spirit soothes,

and delights.

 

I eat fish like no other,

seasoned in scotch bonnet,

with plantain and ackee beside.

My soul senses the taste,

as it dances with fire,

and salsas to life.

 

I look to the beaches,

with pastel painted sand.

The sea is transparent,

with magnificent colour beneath,

of beautiful fishes,

shoals swimming to me.

 

I feel blessed by the Gods,

in true paradise.

I cannot ask for more,

as everything is here.

I pray that this land,

will never disappear.
