Born in Jamaica in the year 1981 to parents Iva and Vincent Hunter in little district called Lewis Store my childhood years are filled with fond memories. I began school at an early age since my mother was a teacher at Highgate Hall Age Primary in Highgate, St. Mary and I was drawn to music as my dad had a small sound system that would fill the air with Bob Marleys albums every Sunday evening after church. Successfully passing my Common Entrance Examination in 1992 I moved on to St. Mary High School then subsequently to Marymount Business College and pursued additional Business Courses. Read More...

Lady in the Dark

There is a lady standing near the alley

she sways her hips from side to side

She hopes to make life better for herself and her three
fatherless children

She does not seek to take away or tear down what was sealed with vows

She just attracts and entices others to enjoy her pleasure

She takes her time and
weaves her web

Lady in the Dark

She is known by many, it is no secret

This is how she lives

She loves no one

She trusts no one

It's not for  love or vanity

It's just her reality

Jobless and hopeless she sees no other way out

She stands in the dim light of the light post

 



Counts her money while adding up the existing bills

She is bitter, lost all her humility

She smiles only when she is at work

She laughs only when it's a good day

Her tears are hidden behind her mask

Her lipstick bright and inviting

Her skin is revealed for all to see

Rarely covered, nothing left for the imagination

Sunrise.... she makes her way home

She stops at the corner shop purchasing items for breakfast

She hurries home before the kids are awake

“Hurry up and eat or you will be late again”

She shouts at the youngest child.

And as she rests her head upon the one bed they share

She watches her children as they run off to school

Her tired eyes slowly closes as she eases into her rest

Come the dark, she will have to do it all over again.
