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. :)

BUBBLES IN BLOOD
Bubbles in the blood Yearning suddenly flood Eyes are closing Hands are holding Breathes suddenly rule A dance as sweet as honey Change of names into honey Legs in rhyme Feelings like crime Cupid stands smiling “Abena, Tawia, wake, please wake There’s chaos that needs unravelling” Damn these dreams.

TROUFEATLINGS

UNCOVER
It seems sealed All boxed up Like a nice package But in there are pains Suffering, fears, longing And under the box lies The hope wanting to be seen So uncover Peel Peel Peel And peel Until all those you want hidden Give way to the one thing Which will attract the light Like magnet […]
I was born beautiful With an added original for a purpose Man thought they were not enough There was the mouth Ears, nose and you know what But my ears got an earthly Why must you tamper with My original earth path of the mighties? Cries of the land for me were ignored Cries […]
PADDLING MOTIVATION

DESORROW ME
I yearn for a day of no sorrow Where words will have no sadness to borrow To have life to enable them leave the hollow And light the pain to mellow When spring calls And summer falls I yearn for many made halls Of sunlight in my head’s thinking walls Let the shine […]
A DREAM OF FEAR IN THE LAND

VILLAGE BLISSING
I woke in the morning To the calls of crowing And loved the air blowing And saw the trees swinging I loved the birds singing And loved the bush brushing Happily, happily, to the stream I went singing The stream kept waving The rats kept strolling The sun kept smiling The dust kept dancing […]
