Love
oh, but I can write
you out of my life
a whole chapter
if only to make way
for a short verse
spelling love

Tears
my tears flow fast
the rivers of Babylon
when I remember our nirvana
the hollow shell
of broken promises
now our legacy

Morning Coffee
my morning coffee
sugar-less
but creamy
so is your kiss
not sweet
but full

my lover’s footprints
still visible

Preying Mantis
preying mantis
you sink into
this ancient ritual, branding me
not even dreaming of death
and dying, will free me
from this macabre dance

Finding You
embracing
all you are
and all you will ever be
I dare not wish for more
on this path
to find the real you

Hi folks, I said I was going away for a while but I just had to come back and post this beautiful poem written by a dear friend and dedicated to her husband on the occasion of their twenty-second wedding anniversary. Enjoy. 🙂
(Specially for Nana Kwesi Agyepong
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN YOU
There was silence
With my three friends we entered the Physics Lab
And there you were; you sat alone
Looking a little startled
as if your thoughts had been rudely interrupted
Our eyes met…….uh, my heart skipped a beat
my gaze still fixed on you
what was this strange feeling
your smile disarmed me
your voice confused me.
Your gentleness overwhelmed me
After twenty and two years…
It has always been you. It has been L.O.V.E..♥
2
Oh it’s been 22 years already
four beautiful and adorable girls
and all the happenings in between
but it has always been you
In sickness and in health
in joy and in pain
in distress and triumphs
it has always been you
3
So on the occasion of our 22nd wedding anniversary,
I am thankful for:
Your unconditional love
and attention and care for me and the girls
Being who you are and allowing me to be the person
I have always wanted to be.
Your patience, calmness and gentleness
which still overwhelms and me
For the next year and beyond
Stand by me and let us stand together
for it has always been you
Walk with me and let us walk side by side
for it has always been you
4
Run with me and let us run together
for it has always been you
Play with me and let us play together
for it has always been you..♥
Sleep by me and let us sleep together
for it has always been you..♥
Sing with me and let us sing together
For it will always be you..♥
Pray with me, and let us pray together
For it will forever be you…♥
5
Happy 22nd wedding anniversary my love, Nana Agyepong
and thanks for saying “I do” 22 years ago.
You still take my breath away
