As the wise Asante studied The creative spider at work for shelter And wove the beautiful kente Which has become the Asantes pride I will study the rainbows of heaven And carve the most beautiful colours Study the brightest of suns And tap its light Study the most innocent of darkness And create for you […]
Oh eyes with laser twinkles Mouths with flapping tongues Ears ready to hear the sounds Of my heart’s eruptions I have one question Have you ever loved? II Have you ever loved? So hard like the balls of a mating bull? So wild like hell fire’s senior in a rage? Wider than the ends of […]
I met Odikro in a storm Couldn’t really make out his form He kindly led me to my dorm After our bodies somehow thundered in our clingy uniforms II He took my number and always did call And rushed to catch my every fall But I did see Odikro’s racing heart ball And felt my […]
Sometimes your veil is too thick Too thick to brand eyes impotent in sighting Oh love! II Sometimes your faith is too fierce Too fierce to think it can conquer all bad Oh love! III Sometimes your voice is like an angry thunder Too loud that ears behave like cut nails Useless and careless! Oh […]
Nothing can hide Our joy in ride Oh nothing can hide Our smiles so wide Not even clothes Can aid our foes Let us dance naked Dance to the sweet melodies of fireflies let us dance naked With our photographers as the moon and stars Even mosquitoes will only add To our melodies in harmony […]
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 […]
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 […]
Fire and ice Sun and rain Bubbly meets gentility And we are midway II We have a life for fire A life for ice A life for the sun And a life for the rain Combined, we live in fairness IV Too much is poison Too little is none Enough is godly You and I […]
She was bright When she said she was right “You need no fright Because coupling makes life light” And my mind went quiet because I needed no fight It was her time and I needed her bright But now she sings like an owl, after three stone throws, her pained songs to me After 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 […]
Hearts intertwined like threads  lost in channels Crossing each other, hurting each other Pulling at each other, tearing each other A world of chaos and anarchy As they knot in frost Soon, we might need a scissor-like equipment To cut through in order to save ourselves Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2015
Sweet sensational pangs Hold my being and hangs Twisting my heart and lungs Showing their powers and fangs My passion’s head is in their fangs as they bang Making it forget the song that sanity sang When it once fell into hands of cruel boiling gangs II I swear I want to feel like Ana […]
I am sometimes in a semi-circle But the faces are not familiar You aren’t there I turn to the freedom chasers They see me like a meaty rat So give me the hot chase Unfortunately, all welcoming holes hoard smokes And heat whose fore-fingers point at me in a warning So I run on Crying […]
If you promise to be a horse You’ve got to have speed Most importantly, stamina To carry and ride harder Like a true knight Fearless and apt in promises II If you promise to be an eagle You’ve got to have strength Most importantly, fierceness To carry and ride harder Making sure need fears my […]
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 […]
Now I can sing my song Because the sky has finished washing its face And sun’s coming footprints Have been licked by time II Now I can sing my song Because the sun sits comfortably On its throne Facing and brightening its lively audience III Now, I can sing my song Decorum has gone to […]
If you are mine The seas of lust Can swallow you Like pythons swallow beings But will vomit you at my doorstep When the time is right II If you are mine Alcohol and dope Can hide your brains And make me a stranger In your high site But will return it and make you […]
Pants of can’ts Excuses in rants Even firewood crave fire Wanting to lead in light Wanting to be a star bright Although being in ashes is no delight But you, like a firefly, tease with your faint glow Saying this and saying that On a day when emotions weep For a play in your tower […]
Emotions dance in veins of the holies And I am a holy The weather’s fan is fanning vain whims And I have a vain whim The sky’s complexion is dark and light And I am the sky At this point, fans are suicide Air conditioners, murder The air is rudely entering pores without knocking And […]
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 […]
Where are the mouths? The mouths wherein lie the real stories? The real stories guarded by fiery soldiery intents of deceit? II Let them loose! The stories which have true buildings True buildings in which kisses never solves all Yes, never solves all hurt puzzles III Let them loose! The stories which house horror habours […]
Love me Love me with the whole you Love me like you never loved Make me your grounds because you are a giant tree Love me and I’ll be a perfect sea If you turn into a fish II Breath me Breath me like your very last breath Breath me like you see no other […]
There are varying animals In this rounded ball This rounded ball Whose hairs are weeds and feeds II Each has its loves and likes Only the lost knows not theirs So I will tell you Feed not my eyes Feed my mind So I can draw you in III I am a good book With […]
I don’t want to love you But adrenaline has conquered The fighting forces of control Like a match taking possession of petrol And has left me helpless  II I don’t want to love you But I am like the boiled cassava In between your mortar and ready pestle Even an escape, spells my doom […]
Anger battles anger Mountainous chest heaves in desperation As flat chest curses in confusion Each back turns And tears flow into the secret coffers of darkness II Strong masks on weak faces Wearing off in few paces Like chalk paint on stained mansions in rain Oh what a tragedy! III Why can’t there be hearts […]
I want to set a moon table On blue sky grounds With seats made of stars To gently light our love And help it merge into oneness Under the very eyes of God  II I want to borrow the voice of a nightingale Hoping an eagle will lend me its wings So I can […]
High heels High bills Hot chest foods Like succulent mangoes Stop joking If you’re hot, you know it No mouth must draw your attention II When legs are crossed And chest swing in call While eyes look far, The brave knows his call If you are brave, you know it You don’t need a shouting […]
I am dazed I still feel amazed You turn me this crazed Why can’t your thoughts ever faze? II I am now an onion With many a companion Layers of layers, a group in Zion I think I fear nothing like a lion III Auntie Akosua said to be careful That filth in bottles like […]
When I lie in quietude With emotions in multitude Bubbling like potent soap bubbling I think of you II When your thoughts flow into mine Like smooth river flowing into a great sea The merging is surreal It harmonises and smoothens all rough edges III My veins are just empty holes You are like the […]
I am a queen A queen deserving a king A king with a capable armour An armour whose sight Will give horrors frights II I am a queen A queen deserving a statesman Not a coward Nor a sniffer I am a queen Deserving the deserved One who is a warrior king And will give […]
At the dawn of our goodbye The sky weeps Tears whose ingredients are Pain Loss Loneliness Uncertainty Failure And fear But these tears fall to toughen The grounds of our hearts II Unfairness has a head none wants to see Tribal voices stopping in one’s track Their enemy before the notice Of his footprints Is […]
It is a natural No, supernatural You in my fantasies Like a good movie on television I, a hopeless watcher Enjoy your sight and might Enhancing your good With my magnifying glass Dazing and erasing insignificant flaws You are a tree Whose roots reside on the fertile ground of my heart You are the only […]
That I was a toy So you made a ploy Oh you naughty boy You said I’d enjoy CHORUS You treated me like your big boss Now I see you feel at a loss I really need to know the cause So I can your freedom endorse How can you say it’s not by force? […]
Thinking Thinking of someone Someone with a strong bull’s horns and eyes in care One who has the sharpest sword among all knights Thinking Thinking of someone II Thinking Thinking of someone Thinking of someone with a peacock’s self confidence One who has a lion’s strength for protection And an elephant’s weight in trust Thinking […]
Her love might have been your stream, the real one will be your perfect rain II Her love might have been your bright colours but look keenly, your real queen will be your rainbow III Her love might have been your weird glasses your real queen will become your contact lenses IV Her love might […]
Call and forget the distance When your earthly vehicle Feels the waistly demonstration of wanting-lifers II Call and forget the distance You are a lion and I’m a lioness We’re all in passion so fearless III Call and forget the distance When the moon acts like an enlightened tent As the stars stand like disco […]
When love turned and walked My way, cupid was hesitant Because he knew I was usurping II Knowing love was the boss Never to be challenged, he let it be Mourning my future heart demise III Then love possessed got dispossesed And saw clearly the meatful part he had crashed, Felt sorry but his bus […]
(Aubreysarch challenged me to write a ten line poem about love. Here it is) A thing so abstract Holds many keys to happiness A thing so surreal Its loss makes all fall into bitterness A thing so beautiful Holds the swords of the hate oracle A thing so powerful Its healing is always a miracle […]
Fall into my arms And let’s recite the Psalms The Psalms which draw And brings passionate beauty to the fore The Psalms which tickles And has a fragrance which sizzles When morning breezes wash their faces As the sun approaches watching its paces The gates of its arms will be opened Like red roses open […]
HE She is the sun The sun I yearn for a tan So all can see I’m a man A man who can face any gun SHE He is the moon The moon which makes me swoon The moon I need for a cocoon Because the moon makes night noon HE Can I bribe the […]
Feelings run with talking shoes Tainting my veins in all hues Month after month, paying no dues Popping and yelling with no cues Like I never ever loved II Their aphrodisiac is cold, Run amok without being told Their running strides so damn bold They have such bad taunting hold Like I never ever loved […]
Night’s towel drips of tears Her laughter has suddenly turned to fears Her moon left without a trace So she uses darkness to cover her face Her stomach churns As her heart yearns Her breathes fight To see daylight But her legs are rooted In darkness until sun comes and have her booted And leaves […]
(Please this poem is rated 18. Persons below this age must not enter its doors. Thank you) Under the full glare Of eyes connected to tongues with flair Let our eyes speak Arranging a date on cloud’s peak Where even shadows can’t be found II I will scent my little farm With pleasantness which can […]
I never knew I hoarded a stream which bubbled Until I saw the fish Which made it vivid And now I yearn for it to swim II Come and swim You little wriggly fish Make my stream dance into a dream I may pleasurably happily scream Or painfully turn to laugh and beam But all […]
I need us to sit In chairs that will fit And speak abjectly Because I am bereft of happiness And I can see the clouds of sadness hanging on your head  Forget the pain And think of what we stand to gain We’ve cast aspersions, loathed for public viewing We’ve sat in wild silence […]
Symphony, Your breath and mine are in harmony So going in different paths will be a felony  Blimey  Asking for more will be pure gluttony We, even in a desert, will form a colony  Isn’t it an irony That we lived like cat and mousy And now our union is branded as […]
