Walk like a king No matter what annoying bells ring Because you are the sky Which a great moon yearns to embrace II Walk like a god No matter who gets bored For you are that spirit That a great priestess worships III Smiles must make your miles All suns must create you tiles All […]

IMPRISONED (ADULT POETRY)
When I spotted him It was like magic His light travelled to wake dead feelings Buried under the earth of my skin He was the electricity And I the wires II So I found myself asking “Is he too taken?” If he is, then I committed adultery Adultery of thoughts Because he looked […]
IF I WERE PRESIDENT MAHAMA
If i were President Mahama Friends will be at the ends Of my throne Because too many thoughts Of closeness, flies truth airs to the unknown II If i were President Mahama i would have eyes and eyes i would have ears and ears In all breeding places of monies i would trust all but […]
I am waiting Waiting for that moment, That moment when bubbles will fry And join passions in the bloodstream Sending satisfaction like a serpent in heat To this heart which is living and yearning for a step up II I am waiting Waiting for that moment When a righteous war will be waged Waged against […]
PERFECT PALACES
Pensive plans pets pious people Pushing poor powers to prey in their pates Pissing pride to puff and play A pent up pecker picks in power play II Pure persons pave power paths And pray to pistol preys at play Pouring petrification in pensive plans To pacify pains and pin position of pacemaker III Puffy […]
I saw it It was so fit A flower to be given to the bride Before she took the hand of her father I wanted it But there were these mirrored walls Which failed to let me be Then I saw her father take it He had six eyes on his face Such a weird […]
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 […]
In the land of Parts of Speech All resolve my yearnings to teach But indulge in verbal breach Rendering me an outcast II See, they couple by inflections And I couple by base, no inflections My lonely sound bounce back in deflections Because of the addition of ‘s’ to my name; ‘Shows’ III Now Tables […]
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 […]
In her eyes Love with him flies His every whim is her desire And she does all his needs require Even when her body bleeds II In my eyes Hurt with his motive flies Cheating being his only desire And is bound to all his desires acquire And laughs as she bleeds III She is […]
BREAKING BENDS
Bread broken unequal brings baits Beckoning hatred, brewing feuds Beasts in brains when awoken roar Burning blind poor innocent beings Before bears break and beasts do bounce Break breads equally to straighten Bended breaks and let the peace be Brothers and sisters share great bonds […]
I Natural alarms are blowing Kokrokookoooooooooooo II They’re blowing in waking Kokrokookoooooooooooo III Who but God has set it? Kokrokookooooooooo IV Please wake up and heed it Kokrokookoooooooooooo V It’s yet another time for lessons Kokrokookoooooooooooooooo VI You know we’re like boarder students Kokrokookoooooooooooooooooooo VII A falling here, A rising here Then we come back […]
I ASK GOD WHY
As the many land With golden spoons And the many land With silver spoons With others landing With a bronze spoon How can you sit there watching While I land with no spoon? As the many reject The many clothes in boos And the many reject The many shoes With the many loving […]
A WORRIED WORLD

SINFOMAHIACS
They sit on the fury of the gods And fan them to snooze Everyone is onboard this sin against the gods Some watch as some touch The symbolic tails of the chained seer To hide their sins under its fur Some sip from the calabash of hatred Others eat from the earthenware of […]
