Kwabena Eddie Mankata Poems

I’m up if only you wake me
I lift a finger if only you strengthen me
I love if only you touch me
...

His love so plain
Yet none can explain
His actions beat every brain
Him they did detain
...

I saw God
Invoked with madness yet full of calmness
I saw God
Chased with a rod, teased by a prod
...

I am amazed at the way you seem so far yet so near at the same time
I can’t wrap my head around the hand that chastises and pampers at the same time
How can you be the sun and shield at the same time?
And be the cloud providing light and darkness at the same time?
...

So I have read books
Books inspired by God
Scripted by men
Opportuned with glimpses of heaven
...

Jesus cried
As pangs of hunger ravaged His tummy
As cold water touched His back
As He awakened alone at night
...
