THE INEVITABLE THREESOME
Below are three poems for you to enjoy. They come from each section of the published book. Using his experience as an Afro-Caribbean male living in London Dyamund D has segmented the book into Life, Loss and Love, each poem is written in a unique Dyamund D style as I feel I've experienced it. As openers, you can get a little flavour of what's in store for you.

LIFE
A funny thing that situation, life!
Full of surprises, humour and strife.
Twists and turns are plentiful,
Worth living eventful.
Gotta give a shout out to the midwife.
​
Challenges overcome make us diamonds,
Nuff people front, we all get frightened.
Fear of the unknown, normal.
Intense feelings audible.
Pleasure seekers' senses are heightened.
​
Yesterday, today and tomorrow,
Jump between joy, surprise and sorrow.
We plan for the next story,
No guarantees of glory.
Friends you can count on, things you can borrow.
​
Guns ‘n’ knives breed blood and guts, heaps of war,
Soldiers fight to fix a Generals score.
Battlefields and casualties,
Postcodes and tragedies,
Streets meet warriors deadly to the corp.
​
Adventures span from estate to estates.
Travel by planes, trains, bikes and skates
Intrepid explorer.
No need to hold a corner.
Oysters for everyone and their mates.
​
Delights for the senses fill the belly,
Michelin star, fast, fine, ready for telly.
Roast or sautéed it’s all good!
Some great spots in da hood!
Niceness; Jerk, Jollof or vermicelli.
​
A funny thing that situation, life!
Full of surprises, humour and strife.
Each persons story unique,
Memoirs shared, interests pique.
Cities booming, uncurbed loss of wildlife.
LOSS
Something we all have to face, is loss
Not a damn thing can be done
How we take it separates strong from weak
The transition period from past till now
​
Time can be stolen but never bought
But always comes at a cost
How the mature pine for their youth
Loss of our most valued commodity
​
Suffering usually denotes loss
This negative shroud delivers no fun
Nothing anyone desires to speak
Dig deep for triumph, be a plough
​
Only winning is ever sought
Life's no playground, harsh like winter frost
People afraid to lose face with truth
Pain of innocence lost, no oddity
​
Hard to face reality when losing
However temporary the strife
Childhood to adulthood the biggest debt
An unavoidable and crucial trial
​
We exchange time for money, begrudgingly
Surrender investments to acquire more
Catastrophe versus fortune is risk
Success awaits, while failure hangs above
​
Battle the bulge, lifestyle of your choosing
Junk is disposed for a healthier life
To lose the belly, encourage a sweat
Escape your comfort zone; reveal a smile
​
Spouses self sacrifice lovingly
Interdependence costs freedoms when sure
Put it all on the line, take a risk
You can lose your mind while falling in love
LOVE
You make us fall head over heels, injuries guaranteed
We slip and slide madly, deeply truly
Only fools rush in, complete consumption
​
Unsuspecting victims making declarations till time end
Intoxicating, many become sick, unable to stand or concentrate
​
Better experienced and lost, than total absence and,
A life without you is not worth living
Stuck in triangles with excessive and suffocating entanglements
​
You fill a life with elation and drive, ready to take on anything,
Instigating procreation, turning world’s upside down
Eyes closed, open up to a new purpose of existence
​
Striking with a bullets force, the strong are weakened and,
The fragile are empowered as pure, concentrated essence fills them
Everlasting smiles, the curing of ails, boundless possibilities surround you
​
We speak of you conquering all, especially in the harshest times
All’s fair with affairs of the heart or waging war
But those closest will mourn the untimely passing of souls bound by blood
​
Teenagers exist madly in it, with no view for much else
Absence grows fondness, but lack of presence pains
​
Economic status cannot acquire the truth, though many will try
Pain immeasurable courses through the veins, exploding hearts violently
​
Whilst magical moments take forever to mature, then last a lifetime
Growing old, firsts are unforgotten; memories don’t tire
​
Energies transferred generationally,
That crazy thing called love
