Bartholomew Arkoh Boamah Sarbah Poems

In the midst of the turbulent wind;
the frozen breeze blew solemnly by
I looked around,
espying the images that flooded my noble sight
...

From the darkness you came
while the sleep dead in their chambers
You were like an apparition
reincarnated from the dead
...

Each time I look at your face
In your eyes I could see passion
exuded by your searching eyes
with love that burns like a flame
...

They wait in steadiness
ready to ballot for beast against humans
Criticism is revered above praise
in the rallies to canvass for votes
...

In bright darkness
I can feel your receding body
endowed with adorable contour
from your purple shadow
...

For your love
I have swallowed my fears
and I seek your pardon
that it should be this ungodly hour
...

Brightening the corner where I walk,
your shadow goes before me
while you watch my vulnerable back
to warn me of impending peril
...

The day is bright
and the contrast, very striking
The fool shall remain a fool on any day;
But the birth of a great woman
...

A thousand wishes rushed her path o'er her soul
With gorgeous promises from the dark future;
From the north and from the south,
From the east and from the west
...

One People, One Nation, One Destiny

Nearer, our right gradually approaches us
And louder our mother's call becomes
...
