TEARS AT THE FATHER’S FEET

Darkness hovers around my days

Even as my heart searches your ways

My joy is intermittent

And my troubles I lament

In your court to the thousands of angels

You have dispatched amongst your people

My voice is shrouded by my sins

My mirth dwindles and my sorrows increases

I see no more, for my eyes are covered with tears

I breathe no more for my nostrils are choked with my past

My road is filled with thorns

My path covered with wrongs

I see morning

But night comes so fast

I am lost in my thoughts

I recognise myself no more

My illusion, my reality

I wet your feet with my tears

I lay in your court, my fears

Bread of heaven

Be my haven

In my plight all I see is you

My pen writes less

But my spirit speaks volumes

Burn my lamentations into fumes

Turn my trouble into sweet tunes

And let my liberation be my news

The looks by nartey romeo akwetey

Who would have ever thought

That all this but for a while

Watching her makes her heart bleed

Not at all, it wasn’t because of her deed

They say a man never cry, but that was what I did

I know they might have told her

How good she looks

Yes, those crooks

As if that’s all shes got

Like they might have said “she is hot”

Oh! what a world

And how soon beauty coils

Funny how we all toil

Just to keep in shape

But I ask, why couldn’t she escape

A thousand questions on my mind

She might have kind

Now she is blind

So I ask who can find

In their eyes she is not worth a dime

A one time beautiful garden

Now a rejected desert

An angel sent from above

Now the devil cast from above

Nonetheless, she is still the little dove

Now what can she hold on to

But that which is left inside of her

That beautiful spirit right in there

Yes the creators breathe

Which is immune to death

99% chemistry 1% everything else

From archaeology  to zoology

Tell me where I am not found

Is it in mycology?

Or in the  celestial bodies?

In biology?

Or in water bodies?

Sometimes I marvel at my importance

Like in medicine for instance

I give patience a second chance

It is not enough to just give me a glance

If given the chance, your life will I enhance

Just take a look at water

Or even butter

These are but a few I offer

Like in blood I aid in buffer

I give grace and honour to the green keeper

Beauty for ladies

Warmth for babies

And all that is best and bright in goodies

Not to mention of those special cookies

That brings you those sweet memories

I guess you are enjoying this piece without a blink

That is due to the power of an ink

That beautiful coat is just the product of the fur of a mink

You cant do without me just like a thermometer without a kink

I am everywhere , even in those jewellery that blinks

At least by nartey romeo akwetey

I came with the cleanest of mind

And the purest of heart

But you thought I was of the same kind

Nonetheless I did my part

I stood afar

yet saw the best

thought it will end on the altar

but it silently faded like the rest

I tried

But she never heard me call

I cried

But to my own fall

But through it all

I’ve learnt to be the best

To stand up tall

Among the rest
