AWAKE TO LOVE
Many waters cannot quench the flames Lit by your beauty in my innocent heart I call all maidens by their names But your name is the beauty of my art All seas may gang dry, Let heavens heave a sigh If the world finds no place for you, If like Judas you're...

IF WISHES WERE WAVES
Every heartbeat I feel Every pulse in my tiniest vein Each breath I take in or out All whisper melodious tunes of beauty Through the unseen nerves to my brain And like the latter rain To the unyielding desert These thoughts, painfully sweet If wishes...

THE DRUMMER'S SONG
On these livid lips sits the unsung dancing song Restless Our hearts spattered with tears and blood, Blood of the innocent executioner The executioner who fed the grave of the king. But when the blood of the innocent drops, The living carry corpses from...

LET THEM DIE
Let them die, but in pain Let sorrow fill their souls A pool of tears must seize their brows Let the die, but in pain Let them die, but in pain These blood-sucking creatures... A mixture of dead and live flies Around their stinking minds And let them...

THE SUPREME JUDGE
There is an incorruptible master-servant in us, The supreme judge of all men; CONSCIENCE Nothing is healthier than clean conscience It purges the soul from all iniquities But there are those who maim their conscience And inflict the world with unremitting...

IN MY GRAVE
Your smile lights up flames in me, Like the rays of a brighter day. Or the sky of a moonlit night, Shining across the heart of darkness. A smile on a beautiful face Sends flickers of hope down my spine. And deep down the tiniest vein It flushes out every...

THE TALE OF AFRICA
What glorious shame shall I share? What insane pain must I forswear? My feet have trodden two paths; The unending winding path of doom Blessed with rocky hills between two unassailable rivers that flow from antique rocks My kinsman; the ancient eye of...

I BLAME GOD
Looking beyond the crystal waves that sparkle from the Gulf of Guinea and sweep across the shores to nourish this lad beyond mention I blame God for His benevolence In this land; where lives are tortured with words and crucified by strange revelations,...

A LAND BEYOND THE SEA
When time devours our age Like darkness to passing shadows When to this life we become redundant We move swiftly to the seashore Waiting to be ferried for query Where else shall we go from here? If not the land beyond the sea, Where blind men see clearer;...

BRAND NEW NAMES
You steal from our sweat with sharp brains and pens and in your poor-catching-sieve called Constitution brand your thievery Corruption You rob us of success with phantom promises To you, light means darkness - a brand new name so you plunge this country...

we have Peace
They say we have peace And that peace like still waters Flows through our ever-weeping land Peace overflows through their criminal mind For some way some how, In their myopic comprehension, Peace, lives in the absence of physical war So there is Peace!...

A LIFE UNLIVED
For Nana Afua Somuah (GIS) Lonely dawn, robbed of light, Draped in dark garments And burdened with a yoke of tears and blood Visited a home; unbidden. A family wails into a billowing sea, Bloody eyes gaze the lifeless body of a girl, Bright, like a lone...

FERTILE MUSE
Fresh winds blown from heaven above That the hearer may be taken from under the sun Into celestial spaces Where she belongs And if I'm honoured to have you If nature smiles on my heart And locks your feelings and mine In romantic motion, we'll live a...

Thank You our LORD
I'll pipe your name at the hilltops I'll maintain your name in graffiti How many thank yous shall we say So you would understand our contentment Of a job well done? Shall we carry you shoulder high Throughout the dusty streets So our feet wear dust forever?...

BLIND OPTIMISM
We stand in this unquenchable heat, Red pepper has entered our eyes. Covered with this ancestral blood, Our hands are tied on our heads. Stretch a hand, fellow in the heat For our present; an ugly pain created by man The future is but a shadow of the...

THAT IS LOVE
when they feed you with lies and propaganda when they cook up stories to make you believe that they care about your success that is love when they promise you heaven-on-earth and swear by their father's religion that they have the panacea for all your...

A QUESTION FOR GOD TO ANSWER
Why on earth did you make me black? Is it to feed my scouting eyes with rot, or contaminate my innocent body with blood? When my eyes behold the treasures in earth and sea, the ever-yielding land which my grandmother, Adwoa Henewaa cultivated, The fruitful...

LIFE STORY
Our going and coming like day and night makes better the untold story of spaces vacated and filled in the wide lea of life
