Emmanuel Odame Poem
Breaking their fists
Against these solid walls
Piercing her heart
His lover falls
Taking little sips
Eventually he cannot walk
His heart turns cold
But the gin still warm
When he is alone
This man cries
Because sometime ago
He was by his lover's side
It is noon
But he is still asleep
It is dawn
He wished it was a dream.
Then he drew up a line
Like fish on a hook
He was caught up in the sky
The trees shook,
and he was no longer alive.

Emmanuel Odame Poem
Row, row, row your boat
Dry land near, it seems
Steadily steadily steadily
Life is but a scheme
Row, row, row your boat
Let's escape this confusion
Verily verily verily verily
Life is but an illusion.

Emmanuel Odame Poem
There is an ocean
in each one of us
all our lives,
it will never cease flowing
When a child is born
Or when a man dies
The latter pierces like thorn
The former, refreshing like sunrise
Man has learned to fly
But not above this sea
So one day when you cry
I hope you find your peace.
