A TRAVELLER’S FEAR
A traveller’s fear Is to walk into his death trap With own feet And with no chasing from an enemy II A travellers fear Is to be bitten By the cruel teeth of vehicular bones As her buttocks cuddle its sofas III A traveller’s fear Is to be trapped in the nets of deceit And […]

YOU, MY SHELTER
In You I have a shelter A shelter for my woes When all those spears do filter Filter from my foes You have the skin to counter To counter and heal my lows In the army of disaster Disaster with many bows You melt for me all arrows Which like planes in air do row […]

DREAMS
There are dreams dangling in thoughts’ sky Like gangster kites having affairs with high winds And taunting their owners Each leg of the heart of every dream steps in dazzling stardom While their other halves lie in fearsome sleeps Elders hint that houseflies can be eagles by will As long as they gather more guts […]

FROZEN MOMENTS
When those end words’ long legs Walked through the gates Which resuscitated my breath When it travelled to passionate need I knew it was time to terminate it all All the captured thoughts And wipe them clean like an empty CD To make way for a new memory gig But every thirsty mouth Woke dead […]
STRAIGHT TO HEAVEN

NOTABLE

THE SPIDER AND THE TORTOISE
Naked tortoise sat and watched As its shell-loss-pain hijacked his happiness And kidnapped all his will to live So Kwaku Ananse took his sad cue And looked for ways to own what tortoise wanted gone II Ananse wove a dubious plan Like skilled Bonwire fingers weaving kente And draped it on tortoise’s body Whose spirit […]
NOT ON THIS TATTERED MAT (EXCERPT)
Goats are animals Animals with no known souls Animals who mate as they want Even so, growth is imperative So why must thoughts of superiority Sink so low As to create a cage To arrange such rage As forcing soft green leaves Into the burning sun? I won’t be a weak leaf If you push […]
THAT COOL UNCLE
Like a chick without mother hen Struggling to peck at anything I came accross that cool one A god uncle like gold One who took me in And cared at any of our time crossings Never minding what I needed Never caring how embarrasing getting that for me could be Never caring what tongues could […]

Death has been shamed It took a loved one and sought our harmed selves But here we are II Death has been destroyed It cracked our hearts And sought sad faces forever But here we are III Eating and merry-making Humming and dancing Eating and loving Chatting and socializing Here we are IV No sad […]
SHUNNED RAINS
When Time’s legs were short And most technological gadgets were in the scrotums of male minds Except for a little cold to fear Occasional clouds were pampered to fall II As legs melted And hearts, like the softest of tuo zaafi yearned As holier hearts melted like shea butter in plea Clouds yielded And visited […]
CRISIS
It’s all coming back Raining like stones being intentionally thrown From the heavens by our maker When he burned my arms As those in green passed Those in brown relaxed And those in white hid II His tears caught no attention His hurts struck no sympathy chord but mine My tears flowed like fountains Going […]
GOD ANSWERETH
I know that flower now in veil I know that flower in all white She kept her nectar all wrapped up In her beautiful enticing well Even when insects knocked and shook She kept her fragile self together Until she caught the normal wilt And started fretting, talking, praying All other flowers taunted and haunted […]
THE STRONG TOWER
The tower knew not its strength But stood and held the weight of many Amidst the storms The rains and the high sun It stood strong It took all the bullets And felt the painful airs Eating into its lungs But still stood strong Until a little child knelt at its feet Shed tears And […]
KEJETIA GHANA
Sounds for customers rise and rise Instrumented by adverts of medicines Which supposedly cure all ailments Mixed with microphones of preachers Who preach about endtimes, the gift of giving Compulsory tights and offering As some sing in voices of frogs and nightingales II Humans, like ants, line haphazardly Many drenched in sweats heading in different […]
CLOTHES OF DARKNESS
I wrote this poem last year and I dedicate it with my whole heart to the judges caught and are hot. I dedicate this to all intentional-sinners in darkness who act pious in daylight, someway, somehow, your darkness will be consumed by light some day. Don’t dwell on fallibility then.
the lioness
This is plain but sophisticated in attraction. Felt decently tingly. And yes, with my heart on fire.
He’s A Flower
For the first time today, I feel masculine. Yes, like the flower, likening it to my shadows in light to reflect the real me. I feel like loving and living, while I have the time. Thanks Deanne.
“TO RISK”
And at this moment, the metaphorics hit me in the face. But I love the minty truth in this piece. Wisdom given for free. Try this.
