Poetic Gem

On a busy day at work With my hands covered in muck I run into this young Lady With a double shade of beauty like a cady In her, I found nothing shady She's just fine Evergreen like a pine My emotions I thought she'll never stretch like a line Curvaceous But not spacious Atiaaa!  Like a carrot From you, me I do not want a lot Just be my friend And you and I will blend Me: My lady ...May I know your name! Her: If you want to know my name I'll also like to know your aim Me: Awurade! Why put me in such a pain! What has love got to do with aim? My mind was pondering My lips were muttering I Just Love You! And I'm ready to be your Boo! Her: Love is good Just like food But in this life, it's just not going to be my bane So please! Just tell me your aim Me! I wanna be a boxer Cos I'm no loser Her: And what happens if you have no one to fight Me! you'll turn on to bite I'm done with that darkness, please give me light Me: I can see you have a dark past And it...

It was all fun from the beginning Having you around me from morning to evening The laughter The supper The jokes And the coke, we share! I took it all for granted Too young to understand what I wanted I enjoyed your awesome presence And got carried away by its essence I failed to look beyond the companionship To see the love that was brewing in our friendship SORRY DEAR! I broke your heart Not with a baseball bat But with my ignorance One without an insurance How do I mend this broken heart again? After all these years of misery and pain There isn't much I could offer now But to accept the fact that I've been a clown For taking your love for granted Greater love in return I should've planted I wish I could turn back the hands of time! To right all the wrongs in my prime. But like they say "time and Tide waits for no man" I'm truely sorry for all you went through YOU SPECIAL! Like I always say! And should have treated you as such You deserve more now! LOVE Y...

THEY SAY "your entire life you can put in our hands" "We're your Servants" If so, then why do we rant All day on radio and television Just to defend our course and vision In our eyes we do see militants Raiding our scarce resources Not thinking of the people's loses Gathering wealth for themselves and generation unborn. THEY SAY "you matter" "we matter" "people matter" Words, words, political words served on a silver platter Words to massage our minds To placate our souls and put us on cloud nine Whilst they mooch us off our scarce resources After all said and done It's their party colors that matter. THEY SAY! "we are competent" "those in charge are impotent" This they made us believe Our performing leaders from post we relieved Cos, chairman promised us heaven on earth Now fuel prices are double high With no room for relief to sigh The torrential rains came And from our rooms we go kayaking Our throats ...

  I am a staple dish Prepared from a sour dough dumpling I come already cooked in Jacket You can call me Otim borga in the market. My name is Kenkey Also known as Kormi Also known as Otim Also known as Dokpetey! These are my names and AKA's within the Ga communities In fact, they are my faithful patrons In the Akan communities, they call me Dorkonoo. With many names given to me in other W. African countries I know you do enjoy me as well Let me know how I'm called in your local language. My stock serves as a tasty corn wine at my wake People do enjoy me with soups and stew Especially tomato sauce Me I do not know their source But my best companion is Kpakpo Shitor and Salmon All others, I will later summon. Once eaten, Be prepared to chug in a gallon of water every hour No big deal, just to release my inner power Many people complain of my high carbo. Content Little did they know, in that lies my energy potent. Not to talk of my high roughage presence in each ball A good compan...

I wore a happy face A smile that never fades A glowing round nose An image that stirs excitement in your mind A performance that cut across all borders A therapy like no other! At the end of the show, you go home excited Your spirit man is renewed Relationships on the verge of collapse is re-brewed A smile on the face of the broken hearted And stress is given a hoot at Cos...I do what I do best! Wipe away your troubles like the morning mist But who cares for the clown Who cares whether he smiles or frowns I am a man like you behind the mask With the most complex task; "To make you happy" Your wife, children and sometimes your poppy Irrespective of your kind of issue A tailor made jokes I have to issue Whilst my own challenges awaits me at home Sometimes too complex and ancient like Rome Hanging on my very door Wrenching my heart to the very core I ask again Even though I know it's a question in vain Who cares for the clown Who cares whether he smiles or frowns Tears! I sh...
