Ever since you came,

see my buoyance,

when I realised

and fled from senses

and all else failed

and the wind encircled

with stories of oblivion,

my eyes became transparence

And you looked into mine

with confiding eyes,

and read them like a diary

parcelled with your solicitude,

I became a giant,

before life had cast me into

valley deep

where I would bow to my knees

and try to fathom misfortune

By now, thanks to you

I am a force formidabble,

staying unfloat,

walking on the Bay of Bengal,

ever since you came

Look into my eyes,

and there you shall find a locket,

and your passive image

that passified my roar,

dancing in my pupils,

every since you came

all mysteries fade,

and I see who I use to be,

thanks to you.

Something my bosom can't deny,

I was groaning because I was

buried in ice,

in the casket of discomfort,

but her tears that fell

made many rills of depair

in my heart,

and that her lips may no more tremble,

and that she may sing

the forgotten song

and that happiness be made prodigal,

I endured in patience,

for the peace of her being,

see that she would be put in a fervent place,

As destiny frowns at our amore,

as see the friendliness of both worlds,

but the sky turns dark as a nighmare

and a menacing spiral,

sinks down the wisdom of our heartbeats

A black resonance, echoes through me,

but if for her,

the sores of this misfortune

will heal in time, even in death,

if for this immortal of passion,

my pains shall seized evidently

But this sacrifice must be made,

I must sit on the fangs of a cobra,

through my loins does the venom

travel but my name shall be

an epitaph in her heart

and knowing her dearly

shall stare into the past

with strong memories unforgotten.

Wearing a jacket of piranhas

he seemed to be friends with risk,

dancing in a furnace,

sitting on a bear trap,

sleeping in a compressor

but he was reached for the diamond

in the fangs of cobra

He drank the venom of an adder,

dueted with the sharks,

swam in a pool of eels

and kiss falling guilotines,

guess what?

he never died,

the adrenalin of possiblity

had made him wear

a garment of perpetuity,

he was danger

and he feared no risk.

                                          By Kakraba Afful

by the smile of destiny

due I sit on the throne of grandiosity,

by her power

I have been made an arcadian,

my garment turns white

because I have found and witheld

the freedom of permanence

This was never perpetuated by time

all blueprints burn,

ceaselessly

because the world cannot consume me,

to fire, I have become water,

and the graffiti of the sky

talk of my greatness since she was here

My soul couldn't have shimmered

with this rare glorification,

the clouds are my sandals

to me the galaxy give veneration

and when we kiss

cyclones proclaim our amore

to the heavens

and set excitement free,

because my laughter

gallops into liberation

All this power

because her presence,

is the music from

the harp of harmonious prophecy

everyone! listen to the fame

of my heart,

for it is as sonorous as success

and the roars like the Atlantic ocean.
