Dear lover afar Listen to the vibes from me To know and read signs I will send the winds to you To deliver our meet-times II I will bribe all trees Especially the wawa And huge odum trees Sapele too, for our good I dream to cage mosquitoes III Since ethnicity Has mouths with tongues […]
Untouched apples Flaunt, mount, taunt, and haunt Until eyes force streams in mouths And mouths gulp for bodies to drown In the wants of un-haves II When the apples fall In hot pots of thoughts it caught Teeth bite with vigour and stride Diminishing of wants Come with every bite III Then the wars starts […]
Earth closes its mouth When lions ‘void porcupines Need I mention more? II Long, long, long ago, When lion was known as the king He took liberties III When his game finished He decided porcupine Is fit to replace IV He meant to hit it Only for thousands of pins To stand in shooting V […]
These ears hear many Diverse birdy sounds around Funny, they blend well II There are sorrowfuls There are the happy and louds Trust the indifferents III Each does contributes To grace another fine dawn I hear God talking IV We are parodies All creation are parodies Of our very selves Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2015

MY MUSE STANDS AMUSED
I love you You know I do But my eyes need to rest Like the sun takes its rest So let the muse Blowing the sagely fuse Stop the sweet abuse Until all relaxations are let loose For I hate to stand accused While my muse uses me and stands amused And watches me confused […]
I saw a fine knicker on the market Made to buy but my money didn’t add up I looked up and saw my friend Eyeing the knicker so we bought to share To wear in turns Few first days were great Making it look like fate Until the fateful day we all wanted to wear […]
Pranks played on death dens Break bins and stir shocks Tipping tides and war waves In a cluster of fume and doom You call I stall You call I get the ball You call She gets the doll These plays are fun plays Not the crucifier of live charcoal In some phantom rain
She yearned for a dimple Ended with a naughty pimple I wish she had kept it simple When she saw There was war She wanted more I always yearn for serenity Which can keep me from adversity No need to cry for complexity And so I live right No one can give me a fright […]
Grandma said she regrets When she saw many reading she frets And asked me to learn to read So my voice can be heard and my mind freed II I read about unfamiliar cultures Which were acting like vultures Zooming in on our almost lifeless cultures And feared the thoughts of pecks of the vultures […]
A cabin boy Was made a cabin toy When his mistress saw him coy And thought he had a thieving ploy II She swore she’d him destroy And will huge soldiers readily employ And make his pain and tears her joy If his muteness did she annoy III He weakly echoed “Oh pretty mistress! I’m […]
There was a kind hearted man Who had a very rugged can And used the burrowed name of Dan To have many an aimless fan II He used a perfect pun When he wanted to show he can And bragged “my can does show I can Because my can still lives like a can” III […]
Flippy fiends not friends Faking fine in my fresh frame Fiercely fuming in furnace flight Fighting fire to flake their flames II Petty pets of pressing pains Passing pines in pissing piles Poor pulses pouting in people Present your papers in pens for peace III Do you deal with death? Drown death dens in dawns […]
I Am me Because of her. *** In mud-pit of fallibility, She washes clean her love For me and steps up to bath me clean. *** Her blood boils when my clothes soil Her tears fall, when sadness walks my face Her mood calls, when danger stalks my path Her stomach churns, when sickness visits […]
A day Bare of hurts Caressed by care Dreaded by death II Emancipate us From all ear thunders Greatly warming our blankets with Heat of earthly goodies III Irrespective of our transgressions Join forces with peace to Kill thoughts too heavy Lying on our peace of minds IV Marry our hearts with kindness always […]
(Please this poem is rated 18. Persons below this age must not enter its doors. Thank you) Under the full glare Of eyes connected to tongues with flair Let our eyes speak Arranging a date on cloud’s peak Where even shadows can’t be found II I will scent my little farm With pleasantness which can […]

UNTIL YOUR RETURN
Caged by the dark, Four concrete corners An obedient slate roofing And married to my thoughts Also saddened by boredom, She appeared and lifted what I feared II She decreed! That, none can make me drown But me That, I need to make use of my legs To feel That, life really has no tight […]
Needs may justify wrongs But wants can’t say same for itself Wants in extreme Suckle from the breast milk of jealousy Which adds nutritious values of witchcraft Which in turn grow monsters of murder *** I need Some great heart may feed my need I want? Then I need hard work Which may give me […]
Shame always tames I went for a walk In a very unfamiliar place With mouths which spoke in earthly tongues Feeling lost and paranoid Then I heard “nyini!” I frowned II What does this person mean? “Nyini?” Could that be a name of an animal? Could that mean they want to kill me Could that mean […]
It shot very far I realized it was a star I guess I went far II Peacock in a bar How can these feathers go far To show without mar? III So I threw it far Watched it brighten like a star When it reached that far IV Oh my good good star! Can I […]
They get to live to see The few steps I take But they still love for me To have my lifetime break Until they finally many a me see They look back wanting to have me again II I am also with a heart A heart which needs to extension gain Every second’s death breaks […]
I caught his fever And begun to shiver All I needed was his river To calm my shivers and fever II I called a driver And became a believer That once he me delivers And I fell into his river, I’d truly be delivered III I went with this fever Into the hall of this […]
Donkeys are nothing Like monkeys The former walk like heartless robots The latter have options to walk, swing or jump II Cats are no bats The former are forever walking thieves The latter, forever banished livers of daylight Each sect nursing its scandal III Fishes have liberties in seas But know the fact that they […]
Paaa, paaaa, paaa, paa, paaa A child is born One who deserves a horn II Paaa, paaaa, paaa, paa, paaa Grab your coat And board a boat III Paaa, paaaa, paaa, paa, paaa Who cares to hate Please grab a plate IV Paaa, paaaa, paaa, paa, paaa I hear the love Which streams from above […]

THE SEASONED HOST
Palm-wines dance and shine In fine calabashes as wine Accentuating foods so fine Calling on souls to come and dine In a happy chatty line II The sky is filled with cloud Cloud turning, diving and proud Vultures hate the sky’s crowd And promise to build to shame the cloud Knowing it is the […]
Beaming bricks bear balls of bests Blistering bricks bear blows of bills Brimming sorrows of loneliness and pain Tears like rain in terrible torrents Fall on the latter whose mouth is sealed And has eyes which can’t be concealed The former’s life is but a hall of smiles Success reigns and honour calls loud In […]

OPTIMISTIC VIBES
Circling the circle Of the circled Is still a circle II Squaring the square Of the squared Is still a square III The rain will fall The sun will shine The wind will blow The earth may shake The birds will fly Into the sky Upon my hi’s So play I will And never stand […]
If I quietly serve In a world which men’s ego reserve Would I be treated like I deserve? II Sleep, and I’ll sleep My mood is bad, weep, and I’ll weep Will they be so good as to the peace keep? III And if my children lie On mats of dreams, would their thoughts Buy […]

WHEN LUSTFUL THOUGHTS GET BOLD
When the weather gets cold Lonely bubbles get bold And show on skins Like standing fins On fishes II Then they call on past thoughts Thoughts the body bought With time and buried And needs ferried By regret III Like waves, tears fight back Goosebumps get stacked I need an antidote I get on a […]
In this stormy era Where sounds listen to sounds And birds bed I’m calling on you; Yes you: Death Hurt Hatred Pain Sadness Sickness Shame To stand firm And taste yourselves When you’re done, Please give us detailed reports On death’s death Hurt’s hurt, Hatred’s hatred, Pain’s pain Sadness’ sadness Sickness’s sickness And Shame’s shame […]

TAKE A CUE (HAIKU)
Through it all, tortoise Walks, shocking birds whose swift fly Beat their day travels II Through it all, the snail Crawls, thinking it is so blessed, more Than the static trees III Through it all, the rain Fall, knowing only lucky Ones will land in streams IV Wise words hit to stop Minds of all […]
If you draw the line I won’t be confined Many will be fined As others whine But I’ll be fine And act refined I’ll read the signs As your wish defines So no need to undermine My integrity as you dine With the mastery swine Who is not refined And pushes rocks on those under […]
Amidst the joy There was a ploy To kill the boy Just like a toy II Soldiers were deployed To act bold and never be coy, And kill all, even the decoys. They were allowed to all tactics employ III There were shepherds of joy For the given boy This news, the king annoyed And […]

SAUCY LIVERS (DIAMANTE)
Goats Stubborn, smelly Perverting, destroying, terrorising Noisy, fast, pitchy, smart Sniffing, intriging, licking Tasty-in-death, scenty Chevon Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2014
In this high tempered cold Heat is unreachable Same as you II If only I could have Your warm towelled embrace, Cold would flee III You’re my balm in pain You’re my heat in cold You were my lyrics in song IV In a monotonous flashback Your words serenade me Your chimney warms me V […]
If sweet salt could taste Itself, it won’t go through the Pain of heat and cold II If hot pepper knows Its power, it wouldn’t need Chewers and eaters III Mouths of perfections Screaming their self-perfections Stop the annoyance! Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2014
Scents so strong Streaming on sensuous sense Seek sacharineous solace in style In my sense. II Sweetened sweats sow seeds Of swords which scream sabotage Seething with insanity in the centre of my world And sure, you sweep my seeings with Serpent’s tongue only to serve me Sins of sorrow III So I’m that sorry […]
If Ntikuma studies Ananse The future must weep And all knowledge must be kept Far away from his house II Ananse is the puzzle Which rattles wisdom To dupe gargantuan gallants And leaves loopholes of escape III Ananse is the master planner Who flirts with death And emerges victorious That’s Ananse, Kwaku Ananse IV An […]
Offerings scream as they Walk on heels noisily to Pockets of pastors II Paupers’ pride in Christ Is paused for glitters on beings Who are known vessels III Bibles have no defence As fire can flame all its clones. Christianity cries IV Give! Give! Prophets shout Receive! Receive as you give! Offerings are back-doored V […]
If the goat could swallow lust It wouldn’t have to go through the Pain of castration Feeling bloated and empty In preparation for its meat metamorphorsis II If the cat could stop stealing It wouldn’t have to go through The pain of mewing at the painful canes Whenever theft walks in And out of the kitchen […]
Dear diary, Days die distracted Days dance in dew Dreams dance in hourly heads I sit like a book Being flipped by the wind Knowing not my end Because I know not my weight II Dear diary, Desperate days die young Dreading dreams dumped on another Deepening darkness of dawn Dressing deepness of dew And […]
Fears run rampantDown the streetsWhen words are lost andSolace springs from thin air,Molecular mornings igniteDivisions uniting the sky,Conjoining the lost,Churning distant souls refinedInto something quite like you and I II Something can be nothing Walking through thin air without a face Taunting with blurred thoughts without a trace Molecular afternoons ignite Threatening to spark […]
Goats Change right Like smart stoats Acting stubborn Tasting like heaven From all angry runnings To all the naughty chewings Their sins are forgottten when their Scents hit noses and their taste hit tongues Just as human corpses lose sins to death Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2014
Brooms wearing one belt Sweep the good, bad, ugly, dust And do grow short together Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2014
Veins hold each other Tight, opening their arms to Let blood flow for good II To make a being work Veins forget their differences And tirelessly work III A single break down And all demonstrate for a Hurried attention IV A block at a point All stop, a rising notice To save their own piece […]

A CRITIC’S FLAW (HAIKU)
A feeling like hope Sits in the midst of chaos Oh pessimism! II A feeling like love Sits in the midst of hatred Oh ye blind hurt men! III A feeling like wins Sit in the midst of grave loss Oh ye doomed thinkers! IV Hear the sad critic Use the word ‘like’ in her […]
When moon sits in state Stars gather to see him shine Praying to be him In nights unborn to lead the Shine in lighting the dark earth II When moon sits in state All stars shine in their own fate Their yearnings shirked to The background for light to rule Brewing their oneness III What […]
Madiba made us See signs of peace walking on Strong legs in Africa II An ex-convict who Made his good heart a public Display to shine a healthy ray to break ills III Who thinks of the good Coming from a stinking cell? One would say revenge but his legacy is worthy to sell IV […]
Let’s chew fashion And get full in its elation Who cares about stinky farms? Who wants to be at the end of its harms? Slugging? We must keep sleeping Prouding? Then let’s dance famished If clothes and prestige cannot feed And none wants to touch or be touched By leaves, Then I’m sorry for me […]
Christmas is palpable Intents are horrible Many will use no Bible They are waiting to kiss Under a mistletoe for bliss And will take no one’s diss II Gone are the days When many stood at bays To think of a blessed baby in tangled hays Now there is the sexy dancing Now there is […]
