spirit message
red cardinal hops onto tiny branch of lilac tree
it’s near dusk
at first, I thought he was a shadow creature
my eye caught a glimpse of his dark movements
his feathers are scarlet
he hops a bit, then flies off
a spirit message?
Mayhaps

God's message
God's message;
"It's hard for you to believe what you don't see,
I'm like the wind that blows to the tree.
I'm always by your side,
Yet you still find it difficult to confide".

FLOTILLA
FLOTILLA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
her heart, once a crammed attic,
overflowing with yesterday’s dusty relics,
became a barren room.
each secret—a silent, fragile confession,
she scrawled on paper thin as skin,
slipped into the throat of antique glass.
a cardboard ark, ferrying her bottled truths,
down to the shore she walked,
where the sea sighs secrets of its own.
a flotilla of confessions and longing,
a bobbing armada

Message To Mantis
To all the male members
of the praying mantis species
a word to the wise you guys
now pay attention to my theses
whether for fun you recreate
or to mate and procreate
it's something I really would not advocate
hold on tight to your pants
love at first sight is not romance
I don't care if you look
but never dare go so far
as

Message
Time was the most important thing in the world, I know that now, so as I stare at the message I wish I never opened, I realised, if only I had left you on unseen, I would have had longer to peacefully think of what we could have been.

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

Cell Phones
These hand sized gadgets is something we use to communicate
We use these devices to relate good news that can't wait
We take pictures and create memories of our experiences
Also to record a conversation or video criminal offenses
Many addictions have been created as technology evolves
Different social medias and games to keep everyone involved

ADRIFT AT SEA
ADRIFT AT SEA*
sea-worn bottle,
bobs on a digital tide.
inside, not paper brittle with salt,
but luminous lines of light,
coded in metaphors and rhyme.
message tossed
into the sea.
unknown sender,
no harbor designated, no destination
on any map.
it drifts, a lonely vessel,
across oceans of indifference,
until…
a seacoast appears,
unsummoned,
unexpected.
my eyes, the sand.
my mind, the beach.
I pick it up,
this delicate thing,
uncorking the silence.
The

#blossommonyei
I trusted you, we had our fun,
Shared so much, thought we were one.
But when I needed you the most,
You turned away, just like a ghost.
It hurt so deep, I felt alone,
Lessons learned, a heart of stone.
Now I see who’s

The Devil's message
"The Devil's message"
--BlossomMonyei--
I have made money a focal point
Ambition is all you'll chase
You'll work hard just to live soft
I'll weaken your faith, trusting is of no use.
Beliefs differ
I had divided the world into segments of religions.
The truth hidden, a wolf in sheep's clothing.
My deception lots will fall for.
Pleasure, Ignorance, Wealth,
They'd stand in

MESSAGE TO THE YOUTHS
If you want to go far in life
Reduce your circle
The people you share your dreams with
It's not about numbers, but loyalty
Make a long table, helping others
So you can be stable
When ever you're not capable
So you'll be able, to get where you want to be.
If you want to be
Liked by people
Start

Message In A Bottle
Ship wrecks do happen
People get stranded
On a small island
Then build their shelters
Make beds from what found
Search for their food
Then search for water
Find a bottle and cap
Find bark to write on
Sending a message
In a bottle to
Anyone to find
Hoping the bottle
Will return to them
The wait could be long
Anyone to find
Hoping the bottle
Will

Message of Goodwill or The Goodwill Message
We are living in a world of sin
Injustice, Selfishness and Racism.
And on human affaris it appears nobody cares'
And degradation is such an abomination
Poltical Opression, Victimisation, Cheating And Bribery.
Repeating Animosity.
No Sharing And Caring,And No Loving or Giving. Why?
For You see Principles Today
Fast Slipping Away.
Only To Stay, Oh Lord!
We've Gotto Consider, Lord, JUSTICE as Our SAVIOUR.
The Ship

Still Holding the Phone
And you never knew—
how many times I stood on the edge of your name,
typing and erasing,
drafting words that felt too fragile to send.
I wrote the messages,
but never set them free.
My thumb hovered over "call"
like a ghost remembering how to hold the living.
Not because I didn't miss you—
God, I did.
But silence sometimes feels safer
than a voice
