Charles Ayi Poem
I grow from trees and beautify their crowns with leaves
On the dead barks I stand stark still
Why do you see only this trunk high as a hill
No king is a kingdom,
This olden branch is in need
To grow as a tree with a clear cloth
Bright and green
Just my own leaf

Charles Ayi Poem
The wind today comes from the east
I long to fly towards it and be at ease
On this earth I stand over skeletons once with dreams
Troubles torment my soul
O peace finds her own solace
I just lay near her hiss, kept dry by breeze
My worry interlace and I long once again

Charles Ayi Poem
Many words and many burdens to fathom
when the head is locked and full of tumultuous blood,
The world is before us, we are yet to see all her ores
though they lie near, they are nothingness for our eyes
And less weighty than dust
Flesh is as steel after the kindness of the heat
from the darkness of the unseen,
turbulence keeps the ship fit

Dread head plantain
the wind scatter your leaves
Breeze comes again
dance to the beat

Charles Ayi Poem
Born frail
Through my wonder I wander and become pained
and rover subtly these days
Time polishes my brain,
Wisdom lies in the grave
