Upon this paper, I utter transparence,

a clarity formed with so much meaning

and it comes with a freshness,

we do not need comprehension,

neither do I ,

to speak this dialect

that unfurls with so much understanding

It is a friend, never to be discovered

a vision that can never be conceited,

it is not proud,

but humble, there for all,

and like oxygen,

it is known for an omnipotence,

in our lives,

but the lips are treachery

and turns reality to poison,

so that fiction seems like a companion,

but very soon

the law of the future, judges

and time shall always tell the story

by the oration of the hands on a clock

The truth is not a revelation,

it is an existence,

that lives among us

but when it is betrayed,

becomes an ambushing tiger

awaiting to strike in

the conspiracy of time.

I had been stoned,

my personality dehumanized

why?

because I found the only

mirror that cannot be broken;

and like all fictions

the world lives in

I was put in a dry well,

and in its belly

I saw darkness

and I understood their unconscious cry,

They spit on my personality

because I have found water,

yes, the only mirror

that cannot be broken,

yes, water,

tasteless, taking no sides

but with neutral care,

as it swims down

the droughted throat,

it quenches the thirst

of the human,

so that he or she

does not long to drink anymore,

still leaving no taste,

still taking no sides

Immaturity is the victim

because running water

erodes a pastureless soil

with no care,

because the grass should

have long been erected,

mansions of nature;

Rills of despair are created

or even gullies or gorges

with time,

but as the sun bears witness

and rocks get weathered

by the declaration of nature,

new soil shall be born,

new minerals shall be given

and the land...

the land that was bare

and desertified without meaning;

upon it, does the pastures grow;

from desert to oasis,

from oasis, to Eden,

a paradise where freedom know

no bounds.

If you can close your eyes,

and hear nature's rhythm,

it would be just the both of us,

holding hands in this thoughtless world

If you can wish upon every star,

and make merry with the wind,

there shall I be in your heart,

I shall breathe the oxygen of omnipotence

you gave me

If you can dance to the sunlight,

so will I shine like your smile,

and our happiness,

and carry us to an immortal wilderness

If you can look into my eyes

and tell the time,

then you know that it is love

If you can...

If you can look at how the land

stretches like a canvas upon the earth,

and paint my existence,

so shall I live, by the believe in your heart

If you can speak in clarity

and make no flaws with this eloquence,

in a lightning faith,

so shall I be strong,

with the muscles of transparence

that your verbal gym has given me

If you can look deep inside

my heart, you shall see it is

a bottomless well that overflows

with the justification

of my eyes,

and the warmth of my smile,

and the tingle in my hands,

all because of you

If you can comprehend,

hear and unleash

the riddle of passion,

then I shall no more be a mystery,

and the wisdom of our lips,

shall run their full course

If you can walk

the steps of adoration,

and reach for the mountains,

I shall be the wings

that befriend you with the sky

If you can dance

to the tune of sanguinity,

I shall become light,

and no darkness shall

there be in your life

If you can wrestle with destiny

with persistence,

and change its course,

then our hearts shall be wed

with a pride,

that batters that of a lion,

and our valor shall know no limits

If you can see,

within me,

the clarity that you brought,

at my first sight,

then I shall be infinity,

limitless like eternity

If you can come into my arms,

strong and humble awaiting

your embrace,

my days shall always be daybreak,

and the sun shall never set,

since I found you.

                                               By Kakraba Afful

Trust me,

commit onto my presence,

your fluorescence,

and I shall never lose the view...

of you

Atrocities, my blind my eyes,

but my heart can never be blind,

as my light sit before me,

you, I shall never lose the view

of eminence,

my nerves shall never be numb

to the ecstacy of excitement,

you

Even though, turmoil,

strikes like a dark trance,

and our brows droop

in the dirges of existence,

because my heart lives,

though breathless,

your magic shall bring me joy,

and the friendship of your

lips shall be enough

to make the sun outshine tribulation

We may verbally brawl,

but the peace that I found,

this makes me bow

to your glory (S.T.)

And sometimes, I may falter,

or sometimes, you may falter,

but fondness seizes by staggering,

and like falling snow,

I myself, do not freeze

but become coolness in your eyes

And visions become perfection

when you smile,

because my heart

has declared you goddess,

and wearing the fabric of wonder,

you twirl my world in happiness,

making the blizzards bow,

and the hurricanes hum

and the tornadoes sing

If I am made deaf by life, even,

my ears shall not forget

the quartet of your heart,

and the sound of our lips

like cardiac thunder,

even if I'm made dam by existence,

I shall speak with a warm affluence,

rising from the bottom of my soul,

like a spring,

and it shall shout with life,

for I speak, because of you

and the biological silence is broken

Trust me,

commit onto my presence,

your fluorescence,

and I shall never lose the view,

of you.
