If you are a mason and dreams of marrying a judge Without bettering yourself first And all you do is to spend your fortune on her making her your honour badge When she becomes the judge and decides not to your side budge Don’t sigh and never say why? Caveat emptor! If yours […]
Once there was a farmer Who saw no danger in karma He dug and hit with hammer The gold for all to murmur Owners started to murmur Oh, there were some members in Burma They came, caught and took the hammer And he begun to stammer “Errrm, errm, errm, mama! Please spare my […]
So the big hotels suddenly have owners of power And the huge monies suddenly walk into the pockets of beings without reasons And men with little powers suddenly develop wings flapping them in the eyes of their host And others decide on catchy and a insulting phrases to tag their masters in reality And people […]
These little arms want to take you in And make this chest your pillow As this little mouth sings you a sweet lullaby Turning this little tongue into a thousand tunes Until peace engulfs you Anytime I see dark clouds on your face The storms are mad The clouds fail to come down The lightening […]
The cat heard the hushes And hid in the bushes With eyes behind the leafy moustaches He saw the many strong creatures’ rushes He followed one, then Followed the other, then Followed the other, then Continued in his quest of ‘curiosden’ Many eyes, he forgot, were situated on the back This he incorporated […]
The healer hears, and heals The speaker sighs and speaks sternly The listener loves to listen The crier creepily cries The problem preys potently Stand still Hold hard Feel firm Think through Work well Then the leaves will leave Then the littering will lessen Then the creepy cries will cease Like the mosquito […]
Nana, I met an angel I thought I would never meet that angel On this strange land But I did and the angel is kind Yes, he gave without asking for anything in return And looks into the future for more kindness Nana, I miss times with you And remembers when you said there’ll always […]

We are all cooking in this saucepan This saucepan which is in the hands of the unquenchable fire Our own saliva boiling us from within Yet you turn to ask me for cover What am I to do? What could I possibly offer? Do I look like a super human? Do I look like […]
In a dark, dark alley Where the soft winds whispered to scare And an owl occasionally hooted to frighten And shadows merged with the dark To connive and make the heart jump, I tiptoed like a lioness on the lookout. My being being self bathed by hot perspiration My breath selling me out on […]
I guess they are the monkey puzzle So they can afford to live with thirst I know they are the monkey puzzle What is this weak tree to do? I think they will live forever and they know it Have they never thought of the tree cutters? Have they never thought of huge animals? Have […]
Call me with a calm but assuring voice Call me over to that side I will have a choice But will definitely come to your side I will love the thought of leaving this noise And staying right by your side Thread follows the needle Pestle goes with mortar The dog goes with the hunter […]

She lives hidden in worldly filth Her face hides behind the brown caricaturic soil Her lips hide under the chameleon coloured filth Her scent hides deeply under the many sweet scents of nectar plucked rudely from youthful beauties Her nails are grossly hidden under nails of lions, cheetahs and leopards Her teeth dancing under golden […]
Looking at you Looking at me is funny Why? Why do you ask when you carry all those baggages? A baggage of deceit A baggage of digging gold A baggage of thousand tongues A baggage of hiding many mortars A baggage of being the centre of the world A baggage of carrying the most hated […]
“No way sideways No way forward Certainly can’t go backwards I must hang in the sky To be visible to the world” That has become the only codification for shining “No smooth way to hang in the sky No smooth way to stand in the sunlight that throws rays of satisfaction No smooth way […]
I am restless And breathless What will you have me do? What can I say to stay there just for a minute? Will I convince you if I sing in an unheard tongue? What if I write in a writeless alphabet? What if I prepare a preparedless meal? What if I walk on my hands […]
I have seen the sun set countless times I have seen all the quarrels between the sun, moon and stars I have seen all throw many needless tantrums There is no human tsunami-trait I have not seen There is no juicy abhorables I have not heard There are no wheels of change I have not […]
Bored in frustration? Dance to my tune Dance to my tune of watching the sky As it gives birth to the yellow shiny sun. Dance to my tune of breathing the fresh waking air As you listen to the new beats of the talking leaves As the variety of beautiful birdy songs accompany them And […]
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 […]

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? […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
