Abraham Teye Poem
Just as every tale begins “once upon a time”
His life began the same with an unpredictable character
Where he learnt it from can’t be told, because he was cold
Disappointment was his first name
Anytime he was told about his unreliable character
He behaved like a maniac
He laughed with people but later went round to stab them in the dark
He did not give but always wanted to receive
Everyone was exasperated because of his behavior
Because of his hostility, he became a hustler
It was very difficult for him to preserve his human dignity
His life of hostility culminated in disaster
Just as every tale ends “happily ever after”
His life ended with sorrows and regrets

Abraham Teye Poem
I look at everyday and say to myself “I am truly blessed”
I’m in love, yes you make me complete
Sometimes I wonder and ponder about the odds that used to be against us
How I sometimes played the wrong cards resulting in absurd consequences
How I nearly lost you but we stood the test of time
Yes me and you
I made many wrong moves leading to the wrong roads in my life
But in the darkness of my doubts you lifted the lamp of love
Yes you brought out a part of me that I never knew existed
Imperfect as I was you still made me perfect
That made us incompatible
Yes me and you
Never taking you for granted, that’s one of the lessons life has taught me
I was sometimes over my head, I even crossed the line
I went to extreme ends but you still cared, you still showed compassion
You learned to accept my faults; I cherish you for who you are
Together we shall continue our love voyage
Yes me and you
If I must die, then it must be for loving you If I must live then you must be my breathe
I really need you to survive; I love you and am going to do my best to make it work
No more wrong games, my world now revolves around you
I’m so happy that you're mine; I will love you forever and a day more
You are my sunshine; the brightest in my eyes in my eyes, all I see is us
Yes me and you

Abraham Teye Poem
Get it straight into your head
I'm not in such terms with you
So watch your tongue
Anyway what's your problem leave me in peace
You don't own my life, do you?
You just met me and you want to control my life
Who the heck do you think you are
Can't i have my way
I'm on my own so why worry
Why do i worry myself for nothing
Is it that am too altruistic?
I always think other people's interest are
more important than mine
I tell others to do the right things
and they tell me I'm worrying them
But if i don't tell them, they claim am a bad friend
Am i doing the wrong thing by telling them the right thing?
What else do they want me to say?
I will remain on my own with no fears
I now know how to live my life
In fact a really quite and peaceful one
I know I'm the only one who can help myself
The going would really get rough and tough
I know it would be hard for me
But i've got to and i will do it,no matter what
The only thing I've got to say is
"YOU NEVER KNOW HOW IMPORTANT SOMEONE
IS TO YOU UNTIL YOU REALLY LOSE THAT PERSON"
