Pranks played on death dens Break bins and stir shocks Tipping tides and war waves In a cluster of fume and doom You call I stall You call I get the ball You call She gets the doll These plays are fun plays Not the crucifier of live charcoal In some phantom rain

A SPELL IN A SHELL (SONG)
CHORUS It was like a fairy spell Captured by a sounding bell Arrested to a loving cell Where I yearned to forever dwell 1 Who created this shell Turning into hell When little heat yell? I swear I hear the bell Which sounded like a spell And made my heart swell For all to see […]
She yearned for a dimple Ended with a naughty pimple I wish she had kept it simple When she saw There was war She wanted more I always yearn for serenity Which can keep me from adversity No need to cry for complexity And so I live right No one can give me a fright […]

THE GREAT TREE
When forest captives cry, who hears? There was a tree in the forest which was tied By an old scary rope which was backed by sky A terrible anger Seeped through it It called for freedom But was not heard Its stem was big Its leaves, enough It shook in littles And shook in raging […]
Children Like clear waters They love from pure great hearts And give surrealistic gold vibes Angels Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2015
I am here watching you standing so near with your beating heart racing and reaching far chasing and hitting hard at dead rock for its symbolism and leaving me stranded as I watch knowing not when rain will fall on this mud *** As much as it hurts, pins, cuts and might kill as much […]

A MUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE
A mumble in the jungle Is no fumble to be humble It is a trap of a triangle To cage you in a crucible No need to yourself entangle By a mumble in the jungle Shhh, there are many empty crucibles With ears on the ground for a mumble So yes, mumbles feed the crucibles […]
With threads of money Snaking and tying minds Who is free on this life tree?  II Even breath is painful Getting eateries are awful What about wearings? Stressful  III Eyes don’t make it easier Seeing is loving, loving is wanting Unnecessary wantings become craving needs  IV What about belonging? Even those with […]
Grandma said she regrets When she saw many reading she frets And asked me to learn to read So my voice can be heard and my mind freed II I read about unfamiliar cultures Which were acting like vultures Zooming in on our almost lifeless cultures And feared the thoughts of pecks of the vultures […]
Through God’s spectacle There is no human receptacle He needs no oracle To tell Him what happens in His tabernacle He gave us combined chronicle To work with but we are comical Doing opposites and needing a miracle Humans are like pigs and it’s terrible Look, we know our state is curable All we need […]
Once upon a time, God was with us He pampered and caressed Until humans became one They joined the sinly train And got a disappointing pestle They pounded God with hatred They pounded Him with stealing They put Him in the mortar of sin And pounded him like crazy Until He made the sky He […]
A cabin boy Was made a cabin toy When his mistress saw him coy And thought he had a thieving ploy II She swore she’d him destroy And will huge soldiers readily employ And make his pain and tears her joy If his muteness did she annoy III He weakly echoed “Oh pretty mistress! I’m […]
There was a kind hearted man Who had a very rugged can And used the burrowed name of Dan To have many an aimless fan II He used a perfect pun When he wanted to show he can And bragged “my can does show I can Because my can still lives like a can” III […]

PERFECT PALACES
Pensive plans pets pious people Pushing poor powers to prey in their pates Pissing pride to puff and play A pent up pecker picks in power play II Pure persons pave power paths And pray to pistol preys at play Pouring petrification in pensive plans To pacify pains and pin position of pacemaker III Puffy […]

WHEN THE NIGHT BURNS
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 […]

I BLAME ALL MOUTHS (ADULT POETRY)
Blames replace flames Flames which passions claimed Claimed in order to tame Tamed to quench and resurrect flames I blame mouths! Imagine the ride from lips to tongues And from tongues to longs So strong it digs deep down Until a farm or empty holes are created II For every sweet start Mouths star in […]
Flippy fiends not friends Faking fine in my fresh frame Fiercely fuming in furnace flight Fighting fire to flake their flames II Petty pets of pressing pains Passing pines in pissing piles Poor pulses pouting in people Present your papers in pens for peace III Do you deal with death? Drown death dens in dawns […]

TEARS OF INNOCENCE

BLUE BALLS (ADULT POETRY)
Between mortars and pestles Which cause the loudest whistles? One will say both But I will say the pestles II Pestles work the hardest Hitting from the farthest They also spoil the fastest As mortars face more pestles III You can pound Yes, just try to hound Yes, just do your best To get your […]

LIKE AN AFRICAN?
An eating habit Freeing the soul and taste bud In tongue-land like eagle wings Could do all good Any day the sun shines, dims, blurs or goes to sleep II I don’t live like a grasshopper! My tongue might run like an alien But the same tongue runs smoother like the native I am Who […]

NOT A SNAKE

The road prostitutes Letting all vehicles through Why doesn’t she have a voice? Poor roads, Even in rain, you accommodate all In heat, you are accommodative of all No rest for you?

OUT OF CONTROL

EVERYTHING IS A TRAVELLER (TANKA)

PAINTED DOLLS
Painted dolls Are blinding our eye balls Standing on sticks With borrowed head debris Of beings unknown Originals are buried Under heavy make-ups And caricature clothes Some maimed by the hands of plastic surgery Minds are gluttons Eating like pigs and wanting abstractions Abstractions which send us crazy Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2014
