Love dance floor

Long has I danced on these floors of lovers, my dancing routines lil rusted and outdated, yesterday was the  day I fell off and broke my ankle, and sworn to return no more but here I am today, obliged to follow into my human nature, it was weeks ago when my recovering ankle led

The sacrifice of freedom for love

Freedom
A dream he never allowed himself to hope
He couldn't have his heart broken
Not when it belonged to his black woman
Not when it carried his emotions 
Not when it carried the love that kept him mobile

'You're free'
A prospect of a new life
One he had hoped to share with his beautiful wife
But 
Nothing in life comes for

I'm Hurt

I wish you were there
When I needed you the most
I thought you were the only one
Who will protect me, at any cost 

When my trembling hands 
Wiped off the heat of tears 
I was going through so much
All that my heart had always feared

The pain I felt right in the chest
Strong enough, to forget the

The Haunting of the Moon

She comes when the Moon is heavy
With wishes from many a maid
Who with passionate longing,
Their dreams upon it laid

She comes when night is warmest
In the time of the southern winds
That bring the moaning cries
Of maidens who meet sad ends

Her long dark tresses flowing
Along a figure fair and sweet
In creamy lace of night dresses
She haunts there

Love is like a void

Love is like a void until it will accept you it's gonna deprived every qualities of your, but the best part of these voids is that one day it's gonna accept you or leave you and then you will get your qualities again but you will see it with her eyes. Because that's what made

I Raise Again

They lowered the flag
And I showed my frustration
They try to blow my candle out
But I raise again holding my head high

I let my balloons fly also
Red, white, blue and black
The balloons all flying irrespective of colour
I raise again irrespective of my colour

I Raise Again

They try to blow my candle out
But I raise again holding my head high

I let my balloons fly also
Red, white, blue and black
The balloons all flying irrespective of colour

Once Upon a Night

I look from my window—
the city is silent and serene.
I give another glance:
the light of bulbs moves slowly
through the twilight night.
Suddenly,	
the uproar of parasite cars
breaks the seamless silence,
conspiring against the beauty
born of that celestial scene.
The wondering, waning moon—
like a besought fortune—
shy and quiet,
approaches me.
Enchanting, she whispers:
Take my light
and ignite the darkness within.

WORSE THEN DOGS

WORSE THAN DOGS

Mi step off di docks, salt burn in mi chest,
Suit sharp-press, hope pin to mi vest.
Windrush blood, calypso fire,
Dreams of gold — meet cold barbed wire.
“Welcome,” dem sneer wid a crooked grin,
Door slam shut — all ‘cause a mi skin.

Signs in window cut like knives:
NO BLACKS. NO DOGS. NO IRISH. — lives.
But truth

MESSAGE TO GHANAIANS

Ghanaians are beating 
The drum of shame
For Nigerians 
Which they will later dance to
Calling Nigerians in Ghana 
All sorts of names, due to some misunderstanding
Now they're promoting hate just because of mistakes.

Ghanaians are on the street 
Creating scenarios 
Nigerians the villains
Forgetting they triggered it
Forgetting what their Ghanaians 
Are doing to Nigerians as well
No country without

Sexual Sensation

I like the way you touch my body.
There's no way I can deny it. 
You complete me in so many ways.
You have this body of mines in such a maze.
Taste me here, lick me there.
You have this body of mines wet everywhere.
I feel chills down my spine. 
You lay me on my back and let

Love

What is love? Sometimes it's truly hard to explain. It's something we feel. It is, however, not classified as pain. As my tears run down my face as if it were rain. I knew this was love, but sometimes it seems strange. You always make me smile and feel bubbly inside. You make my heart

Slipping away

My head crashes to the desk.
Flashbacks—oh, so cruel.
A hammering heart, a desperate soul,
I reach to touch you…
But you vanish.
I run to you, but you’re always faster,
Slipping away again.
“Come back,” I scream.
He says,
“No, I don’t love you… I never really did.”
Silence. I stop running.
“No… no.”
Sobs break free.
My chest feels hollow—
Not from grief,
But from the absence of

LOCKED OUT

You cheated in our relationship
You said one thing, and it was actually for another
Supposed to be number one
Turned out into no number at all
I was put on pause
You were the cause
Always stepping out
Here and there all about
Mr. Swinger and Ms. Slinger
Decided to investigate
Catch you in the act 
Wasted no time
I found your address book
It wasn’t
