What are the ingredients of your tears? No honey No money No talent No friends No beauty Loss Whatever that lives to feed off your emotions Whatever that flies to peck on your happiness Whatever that sails to fish out your laughter Shoot …with the gun of your mind II What are the ingredients of […]
Some happy pictures tell opposite stories And depict antonyms of glories Some divine pictures frame many sorries And need many backward lorries …for their true stories to show So kill no self esteem …with pictures of happy beam II There are wailings behind some laughter There are heartaches behind some smiles There are hurts behind […]
Rant your can’t and use it as shan’t …to grant your couldn’t a tried Shout your bouts and use them as clouts …to flout the doubts which battle your giving up But know …there are many living on boats …with light coats …on bloated snow in your dream heaven II Use your high to buy […]
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 […]
Pilots know the risk of turbulence …but still take chances of flying Captains know the viciousness of some storms …but still steer boats for days …using navigators and relying on winds Drivers know the many accidents …which whisper to deny them and others …lives …but still drive through the roads Living is a chance of […]
Tell the rancher Forcing that horse to the river That he can drag it there But the keys to its throat only lies within it Will is the fair checker of Odomankomah II Tell that problem Dragging you like a sack through pages of mockery …right to the stages of taunts That it can drag […]
What are those tears …unmasking the fears …that the soul bears? Hurts and uncertainty? Pain and disdain? Feelings of you being in that blue …so you could save a beloved?

Each day, Many hunters abound in frames of humans …of spirits …of souls …of animals Looking for who to feed on Be no mopoke For cries of unhappiness travel far …fetching pests of doom to zoom and room …in souls of criers II Troubles are like bubbles They are dicey at conception Fearful in flight […]
Sometimes there are many winds …that pluck all our leaves of confidence …break the branches of our support …and leave us empty of pride At the centre stage of the sun II Sometimes …things that hit us …can take the sound …out of the throat of a singer …and drain all words …out of the […]
As the boughs break in aim …for your best And the guns shoot in aim …for your gains Let none see the spear of fear …aiming at your sanity II It is a battlefield …of breaking and broken It is an unfairness ring …of reasoning and reckoning It is a bandying court …of cutting and […]

Whispers of the air Majestic walks of the sun A sign of life’s ticket Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia © 17th Nov. 2017
There is an irony in sight Where vision is concerned That part where the blind looks forward to tomorrow Despite all the sorrow That part of the mind which no one borrows No matter how shallow Is the lid of hope So why will I mope? II Even snakes, dwelling on their venom Instill fear […]
There are those who fear beings In colours different than theirs As mice fear cats There are those who fear corpses Knowing it is a state unskippable As what the air receives without balance falls But there are those who bath corpses Thinking them mud II There are those who fear ghosts As rats fear […]
Talkings of humans Chirping of birds Croakings of frogs Roarings of the cat family Bleatings of goats and sheep Wave songs of seas Whispers of breezes Combined with all others Make the rhythm of life The earth our major instrument All bodies, accompaniments I am playing my part You? Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2016
All ye clothes Needing to be perfect to clothe Like silver linens and its cloud Listen The edges of the scissors Come together to murder Cutting through like a dead meat Leaving you tattered For the painful pinning Of waiting pins Cry not The same hater strengthens Fitting you onto your dreams Making you dreams […]

No matter its dancing Many birds keep prancing Most insects keep hovering Their facial thoughts expressing II No matter its worth All they seek is the nectar No matter its colour None cares to look, or see or know III Breaking its gate and getting the nectar Destroying its leaves and getting the factor Reaching […]
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 […]
The seas will roll non-stop today The sun will be at its brightest today The air will be more flirtatious than ever today Mouths may do as they wish today Smile Frown Cry Shout Shut Whatever they wish As brown rhymes with crown And they both share no blood of understanding So can unequal hearts […]
If huge bodies are the only known for powers Great minds would never spend hundreds of years Looking for ways to battle tiny mosquitoes There is power Power in every living thing II If hard bodies are known for strength Huge trees would never show rope marks On their hard like frames There is strength […]
Rolling stones remain seen No matter the farthings of age Like stones, souls which roll Shed traces of life’s painful whips I know legs which take no strides shrink But those which do Make their reigning eyes proud And their beating hearts grateful in fulfillment Throwing stones for wakefulness sake Has no barriers As even […]
Deeds abound Calling all around To pick their choices In the wake of their voices Choices of good Will be the soul’s food Choices of bad Will beat the soul hard So through the torture and the pain Through the suns and through the rain Through the Shame and all the fame Through the smart […]
I hear sounds Dancing like dew all around I feel bounds Crying like attention seekers, to be found And I am astonished II I feel fear Gathering, like seas, much tears I feel cheer Taunting, like pain, all the queers And I am perplexed III I smell conflicts Ready, like doped soldiers, to conflict I […]
Dawn can’t begrudge the cock’s crow It is its companion It is its friend It maybe its enemy But it makes it a star As some wake to see it At the sound of a cock’s crow II Lawn cannot begrudge dawn It owes it part of its colour Like the bed of a princess […]
I have a sun And I’m breaking it with love To light your paths Whenever your day meets darkness For you are the breath of the world You are the life of liveliness You have the steps which bless You are you; Worthy even though no one tells you So keep it up there In […]
As night hurries in packing darkness To bolt seeing as day tosses to turn in minutes What thoughts are wearing heels Disturbing your head chambers? II As day prepares to take off its blanket And sun’s door is being opened by the moon What fears are taking over the strength of your legs Forcing you […]
As morning stretches On dawn’s mat In thought’s cover cloth, Fears wear high heels Looking for who to attack. Just who is willing to be that pawn? II What pain on earth has never, ever tasted life Or is never, ever going to taste lives That you sacrifice happiness for fear? Those heels, will never […]
This tree is shaking Not by my making The wind is blowing The earth is quaking II I am here and living I’m not complaining I keep on growing My stems are spreading III If I could get many sheltering I’ll leave fulfilling I do no whining I need no praising IV Many are roaming […]
Light over the darkness happily rise Dawn showers its teary hurt There’s time for the dark There’s time for the light Even as the darkness seems to resist Dawn’s tears always in faith persist But fairness always in discipline moves So you have your time I have my time Each has his time in […]
