Joseph Taylor Poem
Piano In My Head( how I met my partner)
As Paapa and Koo Bentum sat
Under the sacred Onyaa,
Sipping the little pito
Left under the breasts of the calabash
Lamenting over the passage of Bruwaa,
Her golden strip plucked my eyes!
I could feel it down the bows of my heart
Striking the keys on my every piano
Making my pink sound
Turn into a great white sound-
a classical music!
Flashbacks had it rumours of Kwansima,
Parading its paramours
Of how we met after that funeral.
My heart felt at rest, a calm sea
For it found its right rib
Dancing abogya in my caged chest.
For this period
I've gotten to know the real you
An enchanting damsel, whose love tales
Shared the little ampesi of Maame's abom with me.
Like a poet of love, she changed my last name
Into a contagious rhyme verse
Making my heart wallow
In this pool of love in ebusua kuruwa…

Joseph Taylor Poem
She left home
Leaving calculus of tears
Encrusted under the eyes of her children
She left home in blade of sorrows
Leaving her children in suspense
But participated in a ghost congress
Our souls were left like aw in the skies
Pending cries under the eyes of I
Home was left devastated
And the sun deviated from the east
She left home like ember
And silence curls up in her lap…

Joseph Taylor Poem
Slow I wail on the road of no return
Like a soul that departs from its body with no respect
Silence I talk to get
To soothe the pain I didn’t prepare
In the jungle of no trees I sit
To prepare for my last breathe I take
Mother! Mother! I cry
Thunder storms that wawl
Slow I speak
but distance death drags me on
Help! Help! Help! I pull
But in the midst of no where I creep
My last respect they give
But silently I sit to weep
Very well they wish I match on
But poorly I know I live on
Mansions I suffer to build
But in the coffin I didn't prepare to live
Nothing will ever seem right
In this game of no fame
