Poems By Vicki Acquah
Cognizant:
You have shown to me
my GREATNESS
- YOU
Having been discerning
But were not always
in agreement
You were there for me.
AWARE OF ME.'
You have known me
in my weakest flesh
You have marveled
at my strong spirit.
I will have to visit
you when I transition.
You will know it's me still.
Not like some" Duppie "
in a third rate cinema !
When I Come to you,
I will whisper poetry
loudly and crassly-
in your ear,
in my stern voice.
"Yes it tis I" -
I will say..
You know me.
So when the air is not stirring.
I will be as a gentle breeze
floating over
your body,caressing you.
Whilst your perception
reveals me to your conscious.
When OTHERS- don't get me-
CANNOT FEEL me ,
CANNOT SEE ME.
Cognizant you are -
of my existence.
Awake - you are
in my dreams
and my reality.
WHILE others slept on me.
You were fascinated by all of me,
analyzing the
" tic tic" of my clock"
Too aware of my very being.
Alert, even to my batting lashes.
responding
with that certain look -
You'd address my emotions,
my humor and my dread.
Conscious of each
others existence
sometimes we'd clash.
Wittingly we'd exchange love taps.
stimulating the intellectual.
I am your muse-for now
You are my smile for today.
Often times you'd
relent -pretending to be
simple, soft and unassuming.
Allowing me to be Just where I am
