I I sit in this hot seat Going up and down are my feet Feeling discomfort and wild Are my passions untended And my mind goes on a wild goose chase II Future hands, dip me in your rivers Future heart, don’t think about my shivers Future eyes, whip my passions Tear its might and […]
Tag: love
I Ignite my light And let our passions take flight At first sight II Ignite my soul Be no mole It is too cold so be the hot coal III Ignite my heart Wear no hat on your heart I am no mouse, so be no scheming cat IV Ignite my mind And let us […]
STEP INTO MY TEMPLE (ADULT POETRY)
Step into my temple And show me your dimple And I’ll show you I’m simple As I with you mingle My foamy hair will be let loose My hand beads will sing you songs My curvy body will for you dance My waist beads will give the instrumentals You’ll be my special guest A whisper, […]
INTERNAL RACE
I A thunder storm In my heart you form But there’s no platform To help it explode So here I rode II When you blink I shrink And can hardly think So I came here To treat me fair III It is amazing How none sees what I’m facing But still my heart keeps racing […]
WEALTH UN-NEEDED
I I travelled to a land so sublime There was no poignant scent of crime All things were flowery in their prime And there was no scent of hurt II Grandma gave me a comfortable seat On laps which sat on her feet And asked me to listen to the beat The beat of beautiful […]
“Pa, panananana, panananana Panananana, panananana, pananananaaaaaaa” Softly, Play me that piano softly Putting passion in your fingers And softly Play me to sleep “Pa, panananana, panananana Panananana, panananana, pananananaaaaaaa” Doves hover to listen Nature keeps silent to listen The angels gather to listen And witness So softly, Play me the piano softly, Just play me […]
DONE CAN’T BE UNDONE (HAIKU)
I My heart, like an egg I gave on feelings unknown Knowing its dire risks II You held it, like gold You worshipped it like diamonds You loved it like God III My complacency Drove you to your height in fright Your complains, meant nought IV I drove many cars Like crazy, shunning yours; mine […]
EVAPORATING ICE
The heat is on So the cold which won Is entirely gone Now sweats brew On the loving ice Which was so nice When it lied in the arms of cold What can be done? Get a cooler Or risk evaporation And be left like a shell Completely empty Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2014
I When hands touched hands We hugged and kissed Laughed and teased That was what streghtened its stands II We fought poverty Battle sicknesses Were each other’s blanket Cried in each other’s arms Loved truly in hunger And prayed for the rains to seize III Then the sun begun to shine You cried confusion Denied […]
Lie on the sickness mat And see who uses his fanning hat When the sun sits at its angry best And many flies hope to push beings into the earth II Never be disappointed by what you see None will want to pay that fee Their safety is their thoughts’ keys Which locks consciences to […]
A DOVE WITH LOVE
A dove with love Fears nothing from above This dove is like the banished Living love famished Flying alone sends chills through the bones Something nature condones When the air whispers The trees in pleasure stroke their whiskers And the dove feels worse Where is its half? Could this be a curse? Hope of a […]
I Clip not my wings When I fly I sing Even if you can’t hear You’ll see me there II Break not my wings You know not what I can bring Just throw me high And help me fly III Ingrates abound But I blow grateful sounds Just give me a nudge And keep watch […]
YOUR ENVELOPE
I Make me a letter I wish to be a letter Posted just to you II Make me that letter In this time of angry cold To get right to you III When I’m enveloped I will quietly lie in wait Of your warm embrace IV I might travel land Or might travel sea or […]
REJECTS’ SUCCESS
Even rejects’ success hurts Not witchcraft, pure humanity Not wanting and aiming to keep somehow Is pure humanity They have a name for it: Selfishness But honesty of these feelings Spell maturity And that maturity brings respect Respect for the self And blessings for the future So feel all you want But love the growth […]
A BOAT LIKE A STOAT
I On its boat We aim to gloat Forgetting when we fall we’ll bloat No matter the nature of our coat II There are many to note But we, on its beauty dote Basking in our ability to float Until its vices make us emote III We then think of what advanced travellers wrote And […]
I Singles Mingles Tickles Wrinkles When singles mingle they do shine Then tickles and wrinkles and whine II Footage Knowledge Cottage Village They get no footage nor knowledge And end up in village cottage Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2014
In Cupid’s heat The drums of hearts beat As fluttering takes a seat And daydreams are filmed neat II In Cupid’s time Heartbeats chime And rhythms rhyme As equal voices mime III We were there There where there was care Care which was rare Rare until it turned to dare IV Now it is a […]
Here, I wait Like a rooted stone Here, I wait For your grand return Here I wait, Waiting in anxiety Will you, Like the loyal knight return? Will you Like the diligent knight dig me out on your return? Will you Like the loving knight wash me clean after digging? Will you Like the perfect […]
SHADOWS

A LONELY ROAD (HAIKU)
This one way journey, I, like the lonely bird flies Passing through all roads II The hurting lovers Like beautiful flowers wound Me with their cruel thorns III Luckily, like grass Which aims to live in the dry I heal and move on IV I do swear sometimes Never to touch a flower Of any […]
I Hold Don’t fold Don’t fold Those arms II Heat I want your heat Your heartbeat On your chest III Yearn Just yearn And learn For me IV Give I’ll give This me To you Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2014
I Give Receive Be relieved And believe In its healing A smile II Please Release Or appease All you’ve displease Break all bad decrees Lose the hurt III Love Sweet love Pure love Great love Immense love Cost nothing Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2014
A STONE AS STAR (CONSTANZA)
I It shone like a star from afar Attracting me to run  to it As I got closer its light lit II My strength soared and nothing mar The zeal to own this precious light I reached, saw and it was mere stone III Oh how can you act like a star? Wasting my strength […]
I was born a pear And was cut in two Now that I need my pair, My pair is missing, and I want to sue II Where is my pear? My pair of pear! I need my pair I’m not ready to share III I need that pair To help protect my seed Now it’s […]

CUPID’S CONCEIT
Saints of the bed, ye saints ahead Promise eternity of voices heard But anger stands tall as trust falls As lover’s sweet blindfold disaster calls Like Goliath being killed by David Shame drapes faces of supporters avid Cupid sits in worldly horrid With clasped […]
Stars watch sun-moon play Shinning bright and wishing strong For their dreams to be They giggle, wriggle And blush in nice fantasies As long as it lasts The sun burned the moon The moon saw its mark and cried Thoughts: never again […]
WE STILL FIND TIME TO CARE

IN LOVE’S TOWN
Eyes Attraction Daydreaming Giggles Goose pimples Smiles Trust Belongingness Companionship Fast heartbeats Hugs Kisses Time pauses Everything beautiful A boarder, then Hurt Pain Mistrust Withdrawal Enmity Disappointments Regrets I realised too late Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia © 2014
For your punishment In matrimony Which would you prefer? Sealed lips Crossed legs Or avoidance? Packing out Sending you out Or separation? Instead of cuddling You go wandering Instead of talking You go playing In extremity I’d burn certificates And the court of its duplicate To be free from you […]
Faithfulness! A word as beautiful As a flower With many opened Holes of deceit in deed Love! A word sought From mouths of worthy beings But heavily utilised By pain, mockery and hatred Trust! A word which lights The face and tingles the heart Only to be a pawn In the hands of […]
HAMMERED
In his eyes; I saw the stars crying for me Then they smiled And laughed with me Twinkling, their light lighted my path In his eyes; I saw lust peeping through love And fun setting me a table Of palatables With comfortable seats In his eyes; I saw the promise of tomorrow And […]
YOU WERE A LESSON
You were a lesson Well learnt And that past has become a blessing Well grabbed The trouble Which always used to bubble, The tears which caused massive erosion On my face tampering with my emotion, The pain which at the grounds of my heart stomped As my heart pumped Have become appreciative tools Making me […]
Love Turn fire Consume My yearning Love Like rain Soak My tiredness Love Like storm Control My feeling Love Be love And with me Be one Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia
We holding hands Running like two doves We dancing under the keen eyes of the moon And bathing with the tears of the sky We kissing, tasting the rain And wishing to possess our bodies After we knew each other, The spider’s web which entangled, got torn By the sharp claws of […]
Trees, trees Family of trees I wish you could live like bees Together as one as each the other’s mind frees Trees with leaves Trees without leaves Trees with flowers Trees with fruits Trees with colour Colourless trees Short trees Tall trees Please form a garden By living as one.

LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH
Our hearts’ choices vary Our eyes’ lenses target differently How can the two of us marry? Love alone is not enough You hate to share, You think I’m not fair How can the two of us marry? Love alone is not enough You hate the colour blue I hate it when you’re doing […]
He stirs She stirs Facing the opposites Suppressing the love which wants to play He yawns She yawns An evidence of watching with instincts But all hands have been tied by pride Some angry opener In settled time Left its ghost on the love birds Now even in sleep, it occupies the middle […]
SENSUAL HEALING
In the lunch with day Fatigue bathed as tears poured In the lunch with day Hurt entered through ears without an invite In the lunch with day, Disdainful eyes threw stones at my heart In the lunch with day I yearned for supper at night in your arms Please bathe me […]
MY LOVE ALWAYS AT ITS SIMPLEST

DOPED IN HIS AUTOEROTICISM
Help! He finds pleasure in autoeroticism Can that be considered cheating? Who do I fight with for my partner? Himself? Then I’ve lost the game All the twinkles left the sky of my eyes The curves have migrated from the contours of my mouth Life stares down at my soul-less being And shakes its head […]
Sea shells talk to the shores like pretty dolls talk to their girls They ask for cover They ask for completeness They ask for freedom but they get captured If I’ll end up that way Under your cover Please leave me under this dangerous shade The winds may rape me As the […]
SMILE, I SEE YOU
I see you With sadness sitting on your face Impatience running you a race Uncertainty holding your pace And all the pain you brace I see you With the mentality growing in your mind The fears you hide for none to find The complacency of hatred you happily bind And all the revenge you […]
