When I seem lost In the arms of this world I seek shelter in the arms of my worse Nothing seems worse As many have their footsteps marked No matter the pain, I’ll not falter So clothe me in love If you have any And give me shelter For what you see […]

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
In the light Of this fight We find the sight In an insight And lose our might Like a kite We fascinate in light In God’s sight As our colour bright No matter our height But there is our night Which brings our plight And turns all things right On this site Into […]

NOT THE WORLD OF A WOMAN
She creeps to the shelter of the law From the pain at the shore Of fishermen who bore They promised justice and she waited Only for her fisherman to come in his glory Painting a sight of her trait so gory And get the law mellowing under his charms So creeping in And creeping out […]
It would be a cliché if I say love embodies jealousy and that the nature of provocation determines its severity but I’ll say it anyway. The woman is different from the man physically but emotionally. I know we have most of the same features including jealousy. A man can drown himself in sorrow when he […]
On Saturday, 20th September 2014, Portia Dery organised a programme to inculcate reading and writing into the youngsters of today. The programme was dubbed “A Fun Day for Reading and Writing”. It took place at the Northern Regional Library in the Tamale Metropolis and was well patronized. In Africa, many know the safest place to […]

HER TALON HIDDEN IN FUR
Sweet kisses His heart sadly misses He has gone with her to blisses Shunning fears of crying disses And ignoring snorts of many hisses And oh, he went round sharing uncountable pisses Least suspecting she had a talon in her fur A talon which was itching to hunt him for her So smooth were her […]

MIRRORS OF ALL
If only we had many eyes To look into the mirrors of all beings We’ll see the flaws in our own And be infatuated by many While sympathising with others And smacking others out of their reveries If only we could live in the sky of one another With penetrable eyes through everything, We’d be […]
