Spoken Word: How Do I?
Category: Caribbean Woman Written by Grizzy
How do I forget all the times we have spent together? The transition we took from love, to a change of loss in our gains, In a way at least I can say we can hold those regrets of neglect together.
The Man In My Life Must Be A Strong Man But Not A Violent Man
Category: Caribbean Woman Written by Ebonie Jones
At some point in time, not quite sure when, women were tricked into believing that strong meant aggressive and controlling; strong meant that a black eye every now and again meant love, that jealousy meant security, and that constant drama kept the flames burning. I don’t know who convinced some women that this is true, but this ignorance needs to be released.
Freedom
Category: Caribbean Woman Written by Ayanna Cezanne
As a writer all you can hope to do is share what you have learnt. I ask that my expressions meet the reader with an open heart and a willingness, to quietly be reminded of something familiar or to find comfort in learning something new. When I write I don’t ever want to convey a sense of knowing or an arrogance that only echoes self-opinionated views, but leave room for interpretation, why confine ourselves, sometimes another view is the essence of truly learning.
She Kissed A Girl!!
Category: Caribbean Woman Written by Malaika
“Homosexuality is wrong” That is the thought my brain has been trained to regurgitate once the subject of homosexuality arises. Being a “well brought up” young woman, exposed to teachings of Christianity, my perception of homosexuality is almost “factual”. I do not vehemently chastise or demonize persons who “choose” this way of life, but my views are unmovable and non-compromising.
Spoken Word: Thoughts I Hold For You
Category: Caribbean Woman Written by Grizzy
Because he hurt you..., Can I be the one to promise to make sure you stay happy? Because he took you for granted.. Can I be the one to promise to give you every moment as if it were a wish granted?

The Glove by Bubblicious
Category: Caribbean Woman Written by William "Bubblicous" Galloway
Your hands they love me, Your fingers slither all over me, As if in need for security, Oh, the feel of me, Offering more protection to enhance your beauty, Delivering warmth and tenderness, I care for you with all my fiber, I offer myself to ruin
Spoken Word: When They Come Back
Category: Caribbean Woman Written by Grizzy
It was only a matter of time before you started re-appearing in my life. I'm wondering if this would be the last time, Because last time, I thought that was the last time you would show up. And disappear saying your un-hearted good byes.....

I Am A Woman Of Substance! My Skin Colour Does Not Define Me
Category: Caribbean Woman Written by Ebonie Jones
“Old pirates yes they rob I, sold I to the merchant ships,” and ever since black people have been reduced to a piece of property, sub-human, and simply a colour. Slavery is a hell of a thing. The roots of slavery run deep, and are hard to pluck up. Unfortunately, they’ve spread and followed us into the 21st Century. It’s a sad state of affairs when some human beings have to assert that they are, indeed, human. Even sadder is the fact that some of us fail to assert and demand that others treat us as such, instead of a colour.
Spoken Word: Lonely Knows
Category: Caribbean Woman Written by Grizzy
Lonely knows, and remembers the time we couldn't save, All the time you've been gone out weighs the time that you've stayed... If I explain its heart as a lovely red roses bouquet, Well then all I can say is the rot from decay is eating its heart away.
Is The Comfort Of Time Expiring For Women In Their 30’s
Category: Caribbean Woman Written by Ayanna Cezanne
So is the idea of surviving the casualty of a failed relationship really all that daunting as a young woman in your mid 30’s? Yes, you read correctly. I said young woman. 30 is young ladies, the 30’s in essence, are your glory years. You should have been able to tastefully draw from the mindless carefree escapades of your teenage utopia, the many first lessons of your 20’s, where you began to figure out real life situations (work, bills, social etiquettes/norms, educational ambitions, men, relationships, dreams) and put it all into a beautiful collage, ready to take on the world.
Ask The Elephants Of Love
Category: Caribbean Woman Written by Ayanna Cezanne
The elephants mesmerize me, they are everything I admire and envision as love manifested. They are rugged, dusty giants with the most gentle grace and majesty. They are strong and purposeful, loyal and caring, intelligent and committed, protective and hard working. The elephants are sociable animals that are focused on family, they are ritualistic and emotional, they cry real tears when separated or outlived and they can die from a broken heart :(
