In a beautiful journey…with a grateful heartHappiness is a vehicleLove is its steeringGrowth is the roadFulfillment is its seatI’m on a great journey IIThe sky is pregnant with promises of greatnessThe land applauds with pleas to feed change…in exchange for peace…and harmony to protect itselfEvery bit is a noted additionI’m on a great journey IIIWords […]
Panic is a comic which picks …thick volcanic eruptions of regretful magic …to hurl problematic tragics at logic So relax 31st to 1st is just an exchange of baton …between ordinary days …with pressure impositions II All the resolutions unresolved All the hopes unrestored All the dreams in screams All the aspirations with fearful expirations […]
Until you test …the best will be a jest in your breast …and be a quest in your crest …dangling ignorance garnished with fear But all others will see is cowardice II Until you test …fog will continue acting smoke Smoke will continue acting fog And they will both confuse in fuse Add white clouds […]
You won You won the draft you forced us to play Putting your novice mother under your orders “Tell me what is in your heart” I am sorry – “For going hungry to buy my drugs?” I am sorry – “For roaming so much to look for my cure?” I am – “You’re sorry for […]
I saw your birth And I feel your dying heartbeat You are a babe who came with the birth of many ambitions And like all babies, you had your needy conditions II The footsteps of time has seen many changes From many ranges Plucking down hopes like ripe oranges And hanging hopes like fake bells […]
A death and a birth Sorrowful happiness hang like a cross and a hope The dead year not being given a death bed In the jurisdiction of the new born Its death chained by unfulfilled dreams And banished into the evil forest archives of failure Never to return ever II Harsh words are not said […]
I am cooking wishes Whose dishes Need to clear hisses And shut disses Growing horses to give me kisses And correct my misses II I want to be like a bright and lucky sun One whose clouds clear at dawn To give way to its brightness To bless its times Burn its sluggish subjects And […]
As days walk into months And months walk into years Hands of growth lengthen Into beauty and ugliness Deeds are born As others die no matter their impacts Dreams are birthed into mystic boxes And hang like dew Which needs to be conjured on a mountain top After climbing steps of hardwork Every step of […]
I need a huge favour A favour to savour To savour forever From the mountains with all the voices Where my half hanged Until it met the egg of my host II It is a coast I have come to love But a ghost which is so towering above I need the favour of release […]
Oh if I had wings of an eagle I would fly like the king of the sky Loving all to submission Protecting the weak Pecking the proud Honouring the swift And feasting on the notorious II Oh if I had wings of the dove I would rid the sky from demons and ills And order […]
I know a tadpole Which lived in clear but shallow waters Visited by many of its killers But grew to be a frog Whose croaks did scare men with muscles II I know a weak worm Which lived under a beautiful flower One visited by many of its hunters for its nectar But like a […]
On the head of the land I dwell Knowing its stomach is my resting place But the appealing skies Beckon for me to have a taste Before I sink into the mouth of the earth And taste its teeth and be moulded into its belly thing But the flies I see on this ground Are […]
I have a dream A dream to erase labelling With a thought eraser A dream to render all colourless With a fairy love charm for all colours I have a dream II I have a dream A dream to mash all weapons, Like colour inks, into words Words for discourse in misunderstandings To spare the […]
Being busted buying best is best than busted being bought, a brain of a she-being can beat buyers and break bouncing bounds II Determination determines dreams, doing dreams without, is daydreams which will deal dangerous dates, dance to the rhythm of “done” III I and eye are “I’s” But one stands and the other sees […]
There is a charm Against sleepy harm So lie a while And wear a smile Think of you In a city of two Chatting nature And smiling to future The soft winds embrace The birds run a race To help them trace Your happiness at your pace Your companion is you Yes, everything you yearn […]
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 […]
He’ll come today With his magic rod And his all white robe To take you to shop For life Peace Love Happiness And all that is fair All you need to do, I’m told, Is to throw out the filth Of worry Of pain and shame And look forward to glory In your sleep None […]
I I am chasing running stars Running to the world of Mars But my throat cries for the bars To quench its thirst and have rest II Heart in chest has its choices; Heed throat and other voices, Close its heart to the noises, And give stars a chase at best III There are voices […]
The dust from the feet of the sun Has hardly settled in the sky of man Yet cricket voices are loud like newly borns Sounding and sounding like loud horns II Fireflies are showing their hidden lights Once again showing shrubs, they can shine so bright Owls and bats rejoice and sing songs of joy […]
Dream And in that dream Transform into a bird From the safety of your bed Stretch your wings And fly free having flings With the breeze which lives so high In the serene sky See it all Feel it all And if you happen to fall Heed the call of determination And rise through the […]
Soft light Beautiful whispers of the air All flowers smile Beckoning as trees and shrubs drum and dance While beautiful birds provide soothing music Angels with wings receive you in their embrace Giving you a heavenly massage You are taken on a tour to God’s parliament Where thoughts of pain are nil Smiles implant themselves […]
One day I’ll climb the stage And be on the front page I’ll talk like the best sage And break free from this cage This cage of a lost sage Whose work is no advantage Cries and flies in this cage Which has no definite stage […]
Bubbles in the blood Yearning suddenly flood Eyes are closing Hands are holding Breathes suddenly rule A dance as sweet as honey Change of names into honey Legs in rhyme Feelings like crime Cupid stands smiling “Abena, Tawia, wake, please wake There’s chaos that needs unravelling” Damn these dreams. Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) […]
The sun rises light But it does shines bright It works with all its might Until time for rest is right We won’t forget the clouds They mostly come with the louds They can interrupt the sun But time makes them run I am the pretty sun Who wants to have fun I […]
Too beautiful to behold This hairful chest Its beauty like lightening in a cloudless sky Outshine all his human surrounding My eyes feast against my head’s warning My mouth opens like happy thirsty leaves in the virgin rain His eyes sparkle and speak in volumes As his hand, like the hand […]
I want to go to school To in the future keep my cool I want to good grades pull To make my CV full Of credit that will fool Everyone and make them forget of my village stool Oh that fetish that my family drool Has made me lose my name giving them many a tool To take my dressy wool But how […]
