He stands unclothed But feels very confident and clothed In a judgeless public Who his many booty dust lick He hits his chest And orders at his comfy quest With means of the ‘seeful’ but mute Shooting empty glances of talk and I’ll shoot The irony is on you The irony is on […]
I take my first step to wherever And the ugly song that sings itself in my mind echoes “ἐba yi hena ba ni? Agya Kodwo ba ni Wↄnfa no nkↄ abἐ ase Abἐ ase wↄ nsↄisↄi Wↄnfa no nkↄto onyina ase Onyina bἐbu abↄ me ba Abↄ me bayi Abↄ me bayi Onyina bἐbu […]
We work under the moody Sky Running when we have to Lifting with strength conjured, baggages of pain, Hatred, Dissapointments, And need, But she never gets satisfied. She lashes out her anger by bellowing her flames to burn high We the slaves She frowns with her scary clouds to blind We the slaves She […]

They will look They will keenly look As some stalk When we take a walk And they will talk But let us write our own story They will taunt They will jealously taunt As we embrace in love When we, the bad omens, look above And stay in love So let us write our […]
Just let me tag along Get a strong guitar and make me your song Because your heart wandering takes the part of me that is strong What rings in my heart like a sad song? Is the thought that you feel you don’t belong Hold your heart and make it me long Help your heart […]
For today, just for today Lift me like a child Just for today Bath me like a child Just for today Dress me like a child Just for today Leave me to play like a child Just for today Feed me like a child Just for today Serve me like a child And when I’m […]
You can read me Like a newspaper You can watch me Like a movie telecast You can smell me Like a nice perfume You can hear my heart Like a beautiful song You can calm my nerves By looking, looking keenly into my words. Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2014.
From far far Family faced faced Fabricated fable façade Facilitated from faddism Girding gab gab Gal gaily gayed Grounding guessed galleries Guessing gross gaffes Still sounds sounded Still strength sapped Still security screeched Sucking saccharine, spelling sabotage.

It is when death knocked That I saw that life has not me forked Crying for an end, I reckoned was just lip service If not, I would have entered that bottled and have it cocked But no, I RUN With legs and strength I knew not existed in my bones Who is kidding who? […]
He stretches it And my face lit All set in the happiness kit Hiding life’s beatings and hurt that in my chest sit But the torturous hand moves up a bit And a bit And a bit Out of my reach In faith I jumped high like a dimwit With my legs suffering from the […]

If I were your sister Would you look into my eyes and push me into those arms? If I were your sister Would you have that heart to push me into the known trap of life? If I were your sister Would you close my eyes and force me into the dungeon of hell? If […]
Most of us stand on twos We work with twos We see with twos We speak closing and opening twos We hear on twos So why can’t we work as a team? Ever wondered why we can see it all raw Except our backs? Maybe it is a puzzle To see it all But leave […]
What can come has come The Powers is a powerless The Powers is a powerless Ability without mentality is barbarism Banku’s ability had mentality The empty calabash truly sunk not in the water The Bukom bull weakened the Korle Gono electricity Even the motorway that spelt way on his pate no matter the consequences Seemed […]
We cry for water in the belly of our river We cry for food in the middle of our successful farms We cry for air under the whistling trees We cry for peace in the midst of our many soldiers Why is that? Those holding the ropes of our world are slacking Causing us […]
Which will God as a judge deal with on the human that sinned? Will He , with a gun, blast the mind that thought? Or with a dagger stab the heart that the idea bought? Or with a club break the legs that served as a vehicle? Or with a knife severe the hands that […]
Crying solveth no problem It giveth headache And killeth the soul Who has ever cryeth to a stone to get anything? Who has ever cryeth in the darkness of a room And gained wealth? Hurt all you can Cry not Just think it through your belief And you’ll surely find a way. Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia […]
I don’t want to be God I don’t ever wish to be like God Not even in my dreams do I want to be God Because I know he must be bored With many mouths pointed at him like a warrior with a determined sword His ears must be irritating like going crazy hearing different […]
Wanting more Craving more Having more And craving more That is human nature I have too much He has none I am being offered others But I’ll have and hoard Because that is human nature I have mine You have yours I like yours But not in exchange, in addition to mine Why […]
Women cry not to be beaten And their aggression only goes to an extend of the verbal In Africa Women cry not to be killed But their fury only goes to the extent of holding and shouting, Most women in Africa do None can beat a hot blooded man And go scot free In Africa […]
I will stand I will stand like a peacock In times of trials I will stand I will stand tall like a peacock In times of hurt I will stand I will stand like a peacock In times of shame I will stand i will stand like a peacock […]
In these four corners I surreptitiously crawl Shutting mute entries with a threatening brawl While the banners of thoughts are rooted in my head’s corners In this dark self-confine I ruminate, no, I contemplate On whether to zap out this life and put it on a plate For those with stochastic opinions that will […]
Clouds of failure have formed on my sky Dooming my day Making me hide as I lie That my examiner told me a nay And great strides passed me by Is an arrow that pierces my soul a hundred times. Thoughts of failure consumes me That I, with all grandness faced rejection makes me […]
Smear not my name in corners Smear not my fame in hidden corners While smiling when my eyes meet yours Root not to pull me down in dark areas Root not to hit me in dark areas While clapping in front of me in broad daylight Work not in my obliviousness with my […]

My mother my pride I’ve nothing to hide She’s always by my side Taking all love’s stride Even if it means she cries My mother my hope Trying to right words grope All my gaffes she copes I’m attached to her love’s dope Will do nothing to have her mope My mother is […]
You are me And I am you You stayed in me And I felt your every move, Your every struggle, Your every discomfort, And your every pain, With my heart. I saw you not with my eyes But I felt your pulse with every breath It isn’t proper, but I fell in love with you […]
I have kissed your lips a thousand times And you have kissed mine I have sang and danced to your thousand rhymes And you have danced to mine I have laughed and cried to your many jokes And you have danced and laughed to mine There are no parts of you I haven’t explored And […]
There is a thunderous sound in the land of words A thunderous sound so noisy that it makes me fear A wordstress has fallen, not on many beds But in the soil. A soul so dear A mother she was with her words Telling encouraging tales which end with “There is a light at the […]
My mama is an angel My mama is an angel There can’t be any other angel In this lifey hurdle Cos she loves, loves and loves me Out of her busy schedule To set me free She’ll sit on a huge needle When I cry she cuddles She understands when I mumble In […]
In my dream I call an angel In my scream I need an angel I need my cream I call an angel I’m going to the stream I still need that angel My mother! When I’m sick I need an angel I need to eat I call an angel I need to dress I […]
As I write my life away Writing others and mine along Who will write me in my decay After my ink is through?… Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia ©2014.
Here I stand On the very grounds we played with sand And formed a band Hand in hand There he stands apace With sadness sitting on his face And rivers of tears flowing through his gaze As his posture looks like one in a daze There she kneels Saying not what she feels […]
It is its time So we must be mute The thief who steals without being caught has stolen Yet again, as we watch without seeing, severally in just a day We must not cry and whine Because even that blesses his next hunting You can cry You too can cry He too can cry She […]
Tell me a story Tell me a story so sweet and fresh Tell me a story undiluted Tell me a story from times past When the trees provided the sound as the waters spoke Tell me that story from when the birds met as a choir to sing only cheerful songs Tell me a story […]
The hands with great touches The hands with the Midas touches The bees who made the honey Which attracted so many The virgin brains without explorations The grateful beings who paid more for way less The simple beings who cared not about costly sophistication The loving beings who loved nature The crude beings who had […]
We held hands, we locked mouths We faced north, we faced south We locked eyes, and stopped time We jumped together, and together mime’ So why does the air seem stale now? We exchanged clothes, our teasing stood We went out, in any mood We knew happiness and knew sadness We together cried, in […]
I could live in a thousand miles And could stand crossing the cold Nile In a scanty apparel on a small boat In the very cold weather with no coat But will still dote on you fully I could sing in a good tune While fanning the fire in June Even as my hands […]
Please cover me with the cloth, Cover me with the cloth that will make me invisible to disdain Invisible to pain, Invisble to faces of hypocrisy plain, Invisible to the likes of Cain Invisible to those who love feign Invisible to those who insane thoughts daily gain, Invisible to those who abuse rain Invisible to […]
Let us sail Let’s sail across the sea Where there is no wail And no tax biller to collect a fee. Let us hug Hug so tight our temperatures will merge And none will us bug And contentment will our hearts surge Then hunger will flee Flee from our mortal carriers As eternal […]
The headache has become a brain tumour. Now it shows. I see, and you see Great abysmal monks in an abbot of a bush Effortfully breaking rules, adopting girls for pleasure Reeking of self-loath and awakening poignant fears In wombs and abdomens of earthly human makers All in the name of faith and selfish desires. […]

Lights frequently develop long female legs in Africa Leaving homes wearing sneakers Only to come back in high heels Making noise ka, ka, ka, ka, ka. These lights date visibility and darkness Testing tempers and spending extravagantly with each dark dating And many visibility flirtings But mandated cables watch, sometimes pleading with offenders Sometimes shamefully […]
Cry me a river. Cry me a river in a shiver For I have paid treachery dues Refusing to yield to subtle cries from those who cared And living like the world was a fancy club Worshipping alcohol and weed While reveling in touches of unknown hands Fearing nothing, hearing no reason and seeing no […]
If only I could fly I would go high, high, high And never come nigh This world of agony. I sigh, Trying so hard to make my heart mine But my control seems not to be fine. If only I could fly There are many things I will not buy. I will smile at […]
Please good heart, Have eyes And look intently and rightly. Please kind heart, Have ears Ears which will listen well and leave no detail. Please breakable heart, Have a clear nose And smell every corner of the air around every being. Great little heart, Have a mouth, And ask wise questions which will make the […]
They will get all the attention They will definitely get all the attention Why? Because they have inbuilt houses Which all beings are housed before entering earthly houses Sharing their blood And even their good flood For a good nine moons Without separate legs to bolt in the doom Making them swoon Even in pain […]
Can I press out what is pressing me and make them straight? How? By following the path-makers and prompting when their paths are crooked? Am I assured all will be taken in good faith? Am I assured of my head on my body after I voice all out? Am I assured? So I and my […]
