This last breath I shall take
Samantha Ariel Ramnarine
Waterloo Secondary

The ship has sunken,
There are no survivors to remain,
For all was forsaken by air.
My last breath I shall take,
But not closing my eyes,
Suicidal that will be.
Thoughts of my life streamed into my head,
Of the things I’ve done, with the impressions I’ve made,
The scourging pain of regret,
The forgiveness of one’s heart I shall not know.

This last breath I shall take,
Is to ask for the forgiveness of others,
And renew my life for God’s path,
For the eternal life I shall have is with him,
In his shielding arms of protection,
Although the book of my life wasn’t written properly,
Due to my pen.

My eyes begged to press to each other,
Because my time was finally drifting upon me,
And the peacefulness of which I cannot explain,
My eyes shut and let loose of this world,
And an arm stretch in a bright burst of light,
Then I knew that heaven’s gates were opened to me,
And all I could hear was, “Holy, Holy praise the Lord of Holy.”

I love you

I’m falling, would you catch me?
I’ve been hiding, have you been searching?
I’m lost, can you find my path?
I’m scared; would you shield my eyes and comfort me?

I’m cold; would you be the blanket to keep me warm?
I’m alone, would you stay with me?
I’m angry; would you soothe me and calm me down?
If I were to cry, would you kiss my tears away and offer your shoulder to me?

I’m sad, would you wrap your arms around me and tell me that everything is going to be ok?
It’s dark, will you shine your light for me?
I’m blind, would you be my eyes?
Trouble is in the air, would you protect me?

Unhappy is what I am, would you make me smile?
I’m alright-looking; would you disagree and tell me I’m the most beautiful girl you’ve ever seen?
I love you, would you say I love you too?
Because I would, anytime...Always.
And
I Love You.

Silent Sea
Aaron Justin Spencer
St. Mary’s College

Can you hear it?
Can you hear the shouts?
Can you hear my screams?
Can you hear my pleads?

Am I nothing to you?
An insect on your windshield,
So worthless, a disgust,
And rejected from your life?

I’m trapped in the waves,
That were left behind you.
You left the sea,
And me behind you.

The roar of the ocean,
Killed my cries for help,
The current pulled me in,
As I saw when you left.

I sink alone,
Only blue I can see,
Because you left me to drown,
In the Silent Sea.
