Sometimes …sitting in your shed …sad Strings shaddy shocks all over So you’ve got to relocate into your opponent …to refurbish you to your comfy taste …before self settlement Best believe it!

(Wishing all followers a prosperous New Year!) Channel your fears into dears of mere And fall your tears into cheers oh queer For you are the hands which steer your years And are the gears which can clear from your rear You …with a breathing chit II You have new days with awesome rays And […]
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 […]

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? Come Come to the bosom that has seen it all …and still blossoms For the comfort that time conceitedly tick tocks …in a bridal walk […]
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 […]
Present winds cuddling sands Current stars in time’s vehicle Into past destinations Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia © November 9, 2017
We Carry burdens like abused porters Forgetting the immobile end Which for few moments trends Only to turn garnish on memories of the past II We Cloud our emotions to rain our eyes to drain Forgetting life’s refrain is transiency Gathering rubbish which may outlast our taunting gibberish III We Sit with thoughts that over […]
The gate of another day opens With varied happenings written in the future slate of fate Like a marathon, we run with enthusiasm Hoping our baton would reach our target But if we hurt ourselves Or have our breaths arrested by tiredness You who writes it all Change the script to fit our emotions! II […]
The sky has many eyes Because of its strength Its face is like a park without an owner But it still remains firm II There are passing clouds Which never succeed in wiping its beautiful blue There are heated suns Which never get to melt its clarity There are the moons backed by stars Which […]
Do not grovel even in a hovel For each of our remains will taste the dig of a shovel Idolize your mirror reflections Even when you face constant rejections For you are a soul in a body And a spirit not at all shoddy You are like a myth in passing But a warrior on […]
In the land of dreamers Beds and pillows are horses Sleep; reins Which trot them to all their desires Their only set backs are When nature calls And when hunger and thirst pinch II The neighbouring land of dreamers Is fantasies Whose work tools are immobility And imagination of wishes Like magicians They get to […]
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 […]
Hope not for stillness There will come a time When tables will have more attention than you They will be moved Made to carry Turned to rest While the earth keeps still With you in its belly II Hope not for stillness As your ears hear the cocks crow Hear the sounds of happy birds […]
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 […]
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 […]
Problems, like raw yams, Itch tongues Urging them to roll Like red carpets Aiming for knights to come through Shut the mouth tight And lock it in For ears abound Hovering to make fun forever With you on your painful problem stage II Problems like chopping onions Sting the eyes Forcing them to cry in […]
Minds sleeping Waste of lives Arms folded Bothers to chest or laps or hips Legs static Waste in mobility Rolling stones gather moss But their hardwork help them to clean Sayings is salt Too much of it Makes edibles not tastable So I rest thinking you sage Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2015
Trippings are signs Of test of strength Of test of determination Of test of endurance Of test of need So like the eagle with broken wings Know that walking and flying low with fowls Is not supposed to be permanent When they lie in roosting Go to the mountain top and practice Defy the odds […]
I When hurdles pile dirty in a long long while And visions get blurry like a mirror in steam Then you are almost getting to the end of the cliff II When passions get confusing like illusion so sore As hearts battle heads at the crossroad of sanity and madness Know you are almost getting […]
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 […]
Choices are like riddles of God He sprinkles them and allows minds to discern Yesterdays beget todays Todays are mothers of tomorrows And todays are us Kwaku Ananse’s naughty decisions in Ghanaian folktales Earned his generations “the cunning tags” There is no one God for every being If we are all God’s children Then wisdom, […]
Oh He dressed sky beings with glow So they will be visible to eyes so low He dressed the man with strength So they could guard protection’s length He dressed the woman with beauty So she could charm in surety He even knows the shy sky Would need privacy for her nudity So dresses her […]
Another morning visits Coming with its stomach Its need for clothing Its need for being walked or driven like a dog Its need for dialogue And its many conflicts in diversity  II Abena, like the earth which must hosts it, I succumb to its whims Allowing myself to be played like its guitar For […]
Be strong like Mount Afadjato Or fall like the Twin Towers Be swift like a tsunami Or be trapped like oxygen For maiming and trashing II Swimming in breath Is brimming in wealth So be the eagle And fly as such Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2015
As seconds speed into minutes And minutes gallop into hours As hours run into days As days walk into months As months cross over to years Stagnant fears Tend to stink Sympathetic tears Are given a wink A giver today May be a crucifier with time’s transitions So get under the showers of hard work […]
It is not a dream You are in the troubled stream Smeared in the shame body cream You feel like one in a team None of those are as they seem So come out and SCREAM! II It is day And you have no say Death has given you its pay And you feel you […]
Dreams are the fastest runners Runners without souls Runners not like Ussain Bolt Runners with wings unseen II Dreams are taunting bothers Bothers who demand hard work Bothers who mess with minds Bothers like psychotic creators III If you dream And you scream Thinking the dream Will walk to your head’s screen Then you are […]
