The Joy-Killer
Originally posted on joyindestructible:
Sad-bad-times regurgitated; then swallowed back down Jagged edged accusations; adeptly stabbed in the heart! Memories twisted by denial into shame’s thorny crown Piercing in martyred skin; shame pressing pointed dart! Loved boy-child now, angry young man of raging renown Bringing father shame; breaking ever-loving mother’s heart! Insane drug-driven mad-man; lost and…
The Mandharai Leaf
Originally posted on Simple Moments of Life:
Earlier this week, one of my friends spoke to me about a South Indian delicacy called Kanchipuram Idlis. We then went on to talk about how these idlis are sometimes steamed in small cups made out of the leaves of the Bauhinia Creeper plant; locally known as the…

The song of the sea, I can not live without it. It solaces me. When my heart is darker, it Gives me hope, it calls me.

Today I feel like roblogging interesting posts I come across. Here is the first.
A LOVING TRACK
When I told God I was emotionally broke He let me your view poke I told the Almighty He was on ‘coke’ Because I looked at the gentle you And so no equation to work us two Then I thought of Satan’s hound And thought he had me bound So I sought a rhyme I […]
SOMBRE SWORDS
Slit sorries, Sombre Swords Save saviours, sentence sillies Sieve soilers, savour saints Service stupids into simpletons Strength soars in servers than served Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2015
IN SYNC
We must be a soul In two bodies working for same goals If the goals’ tolls Demand one’s role None must seek control And kill the role No voice of a mole Must play a role We must fall, and stand tall We must talk as we walk We must hold when it gets cold […]
Shaibu has it!
Originally posted on Nana A Damoah:
Shaibu Abu-Adama achieves a double record! The first person to order Sebiticals in the UK and the very first person in the world to lay hands on a copy of the brand-new book! PS: Even the author doesn’t have a copy yet, hehehe. Congrats, Shaibu! You have won a…
FARM HANDS
Hoes and machetes cry They swear they are being taken advantage off They say no matter how they try Succeeding days are still rough Shortest hoe Says he feels he’s the toughest though Having lived and crashed with stones Having flirted and birthed with different stones Many sparks of fire in fold Even the farmers […]
AND HER WORLD SLIPS
I have seen many waters Pass under this bridge I have lived through emotional hurdles And have stood as these eyes flood Why does it always sting before they pass? II Gone are those who were taken in classrooms Gone are those who were caged for monies Gone are those who thought like fools; Wanting […]
MODERN GODS AND STOLEN FOWLS
Modern gods are to blame African modern gods are to blame They are to blame for our shame; Our in-robbery oh so lame shame Those who previously had fame For sins they did tame Now know no shame Because they live on stolen fowls And watch not for devilish owls Fanning wars which stem from […]
A WET TAMALE
God watched the heat Battle the breezes As he watched the winds Marry the sands He did watch the trees Yawn in thirst As he watched the sun Defecate its boiling from the sky Oh the birds travelled to quench thirst As many gallons sometimes lined to be filled II All the yearnings of Tamale […]
WHEN HE SAYS HE LOVES HER
He keeps saying he loves her When he knows so well he lies But I let him Because I believe if he thinks I believe that he loves her He will feel good in his skin II He caught my bug So bad I know he hurts Like a cross, I let him carry me […]
DEFILED THOUGHTS (CRAZY STANZAS)
Here I lay Like a tired lonely child Inwardly crying for the safety of my seed While praying for the safety of family As I ask for strength to see all through To such a time as fishers and farmers will abound Leaving my food and fishes safe But some demi-gods are on display Throwing […]
STONE TO STONE
Finally, I get to my mountain top And I view the trash from here The stains of footsteps The sweat which the rocks did taste I hold a stone And pour on it more sweat And I roll to clear trash and mud II So tiring the climb did seem Now relieving The cleansing of […]
SACRAMENTO AZIZ
She said she wanted a man so holy So she changed her nice African name to Molly Caring not about the meaning Only thankful for the rhyming II Kwame Attah was a farm god He did go to church on Sunday basis He lived just right With no known sins But Molly said he was […]
FOR TRUE MUSLIMS
You heeded the call To fast and pray To feel the pain Of the hungry and frail And like good lambs You have crossed the sea Happy Eid Barka de Salah II You are a warrior For battling hunger And reigning supreme For battling thirst And sailing its sails For working for honour And bridging […]
THE NICE LONELY BIRD
I found a lovely lonely bird On a cold hairless tree No, it might have found me In a humanless home And flew in comfort To set me free From the cages of lonesomeness Which tied with glee But my catapult struck And scattered its tree Before its intentions were known to me II Now […]
NEW BEGINNINGS
Mouths open their gates Eyes seek a look into fates Hands extend Thoughts stay back to defend Beautiful new beginnings II Arms do many an embrace Nervousnesses fret and pace Some stand back in care Listening to voices of beware Beautiful new beginnings III Instances do abound Good and evil all around Quickened friends turn […]
DRAWN
She is drawn to a one One who has a one That one who has a one Eyes looking at a back Which is looking at a back Which is looking at a back Chained like three trees’ thorns clawing each other Complicated is the word Hurts, its prophetic ends Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2015
RUGGED
Bubbling in veins Are the unwise soldiery claimers Who use no brains So call for their needs But head, claim your throne! II I need your head to lead To stop your piety from degradation And keep your friends close And keep your conscience clean So head claim your throne Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2015
CUDDLE
You need the humble I’ll make it double So keep me out of trouble Hurdles are troubly bubbly I need You to be cuddly II I am like a thin cloud Hanging between earth and thick clouds Knowing not whose pull Will honour the beckoning of its tool Make, the pain, cool III Do I […]
THE FEELING
It sits in my chair Stirring my chest like an angry woman stirs a pot of burning soup Leaving not Occasionally slapping its ground Sisi, sorry I should have known it was a call for you But like a dummy, I thought of my seed I won’t cry I won’t whine For death to get […]
TRACKING A MOUSE
She says she is like one tracking a mouse To be able to seize his latest phone He says she can be like one tracking a rat Because the phone will be like his god Twum ei! Love ei! Love quarrels are sweetest When youngsters use their exuberance Oh an iPhone brews trouble like beer […]
WHEN SLEEP WAS SWEETEST
Serenity serenaded in sounds Sweet scents soared Stinging sourness Slapping serpents II Symphony was smooth Slowing sharpness of scams Seraphs stayed supreme Sacking satanics, securing safety Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2015
TIME REVEALS
Time takes off the mask of manhood And shows the real faces of boys Boys who throw tantrums When they feel pangs of confusion II A heart of grace Swerving disgrace Widening the pace And saving face Busy beings need no drama Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2015
YES WE CAN
I Amidst the tiresome run And the freedom ban Amidst the horrid fan And the dirty empty national pan I know we can Yes, we certainly can II Though there be trails Though there be pains Though the future may look Dull and bleak I believe we can Yes we certainly can III Over the […]
LET’S FIND THE STRENGTH
Golden shores With zeal that snores Mother Ghana calls for cleaning chores To shut low confidence doors Whinning, she abhors II Form a circle Working for the miracle Get truthful oracles Who can trash all obstacles To rid us of all ridicules III We need to be like the peacocks Prideful in beauty not like […]
AND SHE WHIPS
I, protest Because my heart, in this detest But she calls herself old in age Saying she knows the running of this stage And I am in rage II I do as she wishes Because, her, this heart cherishes But I keep hurt in shame I hate the chains of her tame I know I […]
OKAY
Never falter When you are at the alter Allah is Lord And He is on board II Never whine For you are fine Allah, with you, does dine And he will add to your table blessed wine III You are a messenger Not a stranger Allah needs your devotion So don’t be drowned in the […]
YOSHIKO’S CHALLENGE
HAPPLINGS
Waking to smiles from naughty faces I see the hidden naughties’ paces Like the happening of yesterday left no traces The humurous battle is drawn “Mrs. Phone, Fufu Mafia, Poetry Eater” My few nickies But I smile Knowing a mile has been reached I call far away home Everyone is fine A few business calls […]
WHAT?
So life is life And life needs feeds Life is life And life sheds blood Life is life And life needs moves I will use my machine at the palm of my tree To get what I need Because it is no tofee to deplete What? II It’s true, I meet them all; The ritualists […]
RESTORATION
I am naught But some call me naughty II I am naught But I still own my breathing III I am naught But I mostly feel like your diamond You are Lord You are God So take me through and don’t be bored IV I see the tallest hurdles Like fenced walls I hear roars […]
BROKEN
They say once one is down A fall is nothing to fear But here, lying flat on my back I feel my pulse racing like a tsunami Who knew falling from the pain tree Breaks no bone But beats your bests And blasts your breast? Interesting, that is where the heart hides II I am […]
OF CLITS AND CLAMOUR
They claim we claim gooses are like ganders And ganders are like gooses Their goodies, the same Their bothers, the same So circumcision is a decision None fights for a cock So none must fight for a hen Abena, I say bullshit! Leave your danglers if you like But leave them clits alone II It […]
VULTURES AND HOMES
Vultures They stay on trees Oh vultures Stay on trees in danger And care not about their drowning and danger Yes, vultures are vultures Thay care not about cultures And care not about nurtures So kid vultures learn to litter and break cultures Hurtful, cultures which could safeguard their lives II Oh vultures! You are […]
PERFECT BUT…
I am that hen with a chick He is that cock with a chick I am like the petite hen burdened by beasts of this world He is like a gigantic cock who has bridged so much to be here We both dribble with words At a snap of the finger “bam” There is a […]
ROLLING DAYS (TANKA)
Ancient of days pass Like a fast rolling football Caring not about Anything blocking its way Battling with force to bursting Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2015
TO A SISTER
(Thanks to Mash Cudjoe for this poem.) I On that fateful day When the gates of the world Opened up to receive you A trumpet was blown And merry was made You lit up the sky And the angels sang With voices so pure A queen had been born A queen whose words Would marvel […]
FATHERS
(Happy father’s day to Nana Awere Damoah. You are a very special man. Happy father’s day to all good fathers out there. Mr. Charles Nornoo. Mr. Sam Doku and the rest, you know yourselves. May you continue to shine in your line of duty. Receiving the right blessings.) There was a time This poem would […]
NAMASTE
Now the night goes to sleep Day is coming so dawn weeps Owls and bats yawn in tiredness Beds start complaining That they really need to be unburdene I say “Namaste” to God who has brought us this far II Give all their delicacies Grant us all good breathes to live And like the birds […]
SOUNDS OF TODAY
“Bue! Ouch! Agyeiiii! Meku la! Aaaaah!” Mourning Sounds of today Like a deathzone Everything reeks mourning From shooting of God’s men in church To thunders lighting the fires of flood to “ghosten” beings Sounds of today! II “Ei! Eh? Wosh! Appalling!” Suprising sounds of today Hidden answers find themselves naked on the market Prostituting and […]
A SUCCULENT MANGO LIKE ME
Like a succulent mango You bite me deep After washing me in cool waters And chew my flesh Claiming I am fresh I can only scream by sewing my threads In your teeth But you wait after chewing And curse me While you enjoyed me with no blessing I know my juice tasted like heaven […]
PHANTHOM IMAGINATION
I would like to imagine him Not too short nor tall Playfully funny in discipline Handsomely lovely in friendship Warm and reassuring in hugs Soldiery and feared in protectiveness Like God’s shield II I’d like to imagine him there By her side Holding hands and occasionally talking to the invisible me Giving me massages With […]
A DIFFERENT FEELING
It is a blessing of emotion A different feeling Watching you in sync with her in laughter Like a well rehearsed choreography II It is as though Someone switched on my thinking plug Could this have been a trap? Did he joke over my sincere messages with her? Could I be a fun they are […]
STUCK
Oboi sat ready to earn From the little the teacher had to teach Little did he smell the storm Brewing into his class-made dorm II A beautiful lady sat on his right Another hot lady sat on his left Then his stomach contracted Reminding him of the mixtures of beans and eggs he married And […]
