Love Me!
Living By The Heart I live by the heart I live by the heart I live by the heart
A Woman, Now Tainted She comes, replacing passion Lost is that soul-rhythm She comes, starry-eyed, always on the make, Money is her God.
I Can’t Hear You Anymore I can’t hear you!
Blind To A Diamond Haven’t you done enough? What now are you missing How soon did you forget, My riches you did not see But Time’ will take away this pain.
In Search Of Love When love searches When love is truthful When love is alive, You are my love,
Love me for myself,
is spite of myself
Love me because I am here,
your happiness.
Love me! Love me!
for I give you something to do,
someone to love and joys
to hope for.
Love me!
Stand by me when I am right,
support me when I am wrong.
Love me! Love me!
That we may blossom and prosper together,
and make mankind cheerful
Love Me! Love me! Love me!
that guides me to you,
accepting all that you give me.
I cry because I am happy
impassioned by the tenderness you bring me.
I find hope in your arms
living for your charms.
I enjoy life with ecstasy:
with you I triumph in its glory.
to find the fortunes
that placed me here:
Loving you and all life’s wonders.
stepping beyond fleeting time,
haunted by the quest to find
my place in your space.
Hence I live by the heart.
with artificial styles and fashion;
So engulfed in being female,
putting everything on sale.
of bright shining woman.
Nature’s pure vibrant gifts
are tainted with make-up and face-lifts.
conniving, gaming, prepared only to take.
Children no longer matter,
she relishes in flirt and flatter.
Sex, her sword,
to curse and scorn man
then, herself damn.
Tired of listening to your raving:
wanting everything and giving back nothing.
Your loud, incessant nagging
has destroyed all my feelings.
I can’t hear you!
Perhaps we are from different planets.
Your disposition confuses my spirit.
With these strange emotions
you’ll never find satisfaction
I say little, trying to hide
yet I’m hurting deep inside.
I can’t hear you!
I’ve blocked out the bitterness from your mouth.
Can’t let you stress me out.
With my sweat, you built your nest
then willingly took the rest.
Now my life you peruse
to joyfully abuse.
No longer are you intimate,
and you forget to appreciate.
I can’t hear you!
This relationship is dying,
our souls are crying,
I’m tired of trying,
So let’s make changes and agree
to give each other space to be free.
Perhaps what we couldn’t find together
we may discover with another.
Try to listen when we converse
we don’t always have to be first.
Because I can’t hear you!
I can’t hear you any more!
Then why are you calling?
My life is already tough
with pain and heavy grieving.
that you do not possess?
Why the sighs and crying?
What deception to express?
my toiling and devotion:
Too late to regret
the abuse of my emotion.
as you searched for greener grass,
Those with wealth and beauty:
and true love, you did by-pass.
The ‘Fates’ will send me someone;
One that I can love again,
who’ll cherish me like a diamond.
it finds that heart,
then it comes alive
and finds the soul.
it enwraps the heart
then it becomes secured
and embraces the soul.
it embodies the heart
and with spiritual oneness
it becomes the soul.
you are my heart
and with sincere togetherness
we’ve found our soul.

About the Author
K.G. Bell, playwright, poet, teacher, and historian, grew up in the artistic world of the Caribbean, and ever since boyhood was a part of the pageantry and artistry of Trinidad’s Carnival. His soul was inspired by the richness of the many festivals of his homeland, Trinidad. The land of Steel pan, Calypso, Limbo, Divali, Phagwa and exotic costumes presented the stage for his poetic style and grand stories. Carnival is history, fantasy, and drama on a grand scale from which Mr. Bell drew the inspiration to develop his characters and scenes to challenge the imaginations of his audiences and readers. His inventive ability forces us to view the poet in a new light, as the chief agent of many of the changes in modern society. He strives to show similarities between the classical period and modern times and shows how language is a vibrant tool that affects human behavior. As an ardent supporter of the classics, his dramatic style of poetry moves with grandeur, similar to the styles found in ancient Egypt, Greece, Babylon or Timbuktu.
