Jasmine Fafanyo Awagah Poems

It was at drama show when she first saw me
I had no idea
Then I was at the Unknown People's meeting seat
She entered the door at the rear
...

I walk with my toes down and heels high
What horror do run from that I walk in discreet to hide?
What treasure do I seek that I run to buy?
Its no horror I'm scared of but its more than a treasure I admire
...

Yesterday I was a kid
Playing kid games with shes claiming it was dating
We always talk about love, we were just debating
Saying we knew love not knowing we were crawling
...

It is too late to fight
Too late to turn it all around and make it right
The sun is up but it is already night
Tears run down her cheeks as she cries out
...

Here I am
There she is
individuals both we are like branches of the palm
but are one on the same axis
...

(This is a poem in a dialogue form between two people)

J: I have a tale to tell. A tale that made me rise after I fell, my name is Jasmine everyone calls me J
E: I have a tale to tell. A tale that gave me strength and made me well, my name is Emmanuel.

Innocent born
Was raised up eating corn
His best was the green shirt that was torn
He hanged it and enjoyed the joy of not getting it worn
...

You ask me
What is love?
This is such a big question
Definitions vary from person to person
...

when i run, i walk
when i win, i lose
when i smile, i frown
when i am up, i am down

A number of four
Walking a distance they have always walked before
It was getting dark
SO as cars on their own they had to park
