nicholas boateng Poems

It's graduation!
A day supposed to be the happiest
The happiest at least in half a decade
And here on a molded parapet alone
...

Where the road ends
There another begins
And the place where one last breathes
There again is the first of breathes heard
...

A feeling never felt
And never too quickly in love fallen
Like a wax the fire in a voice melted
The inner feels; no strength could contain
...

I come into my own land as a stranger
And among my very people like a visitor
Knowing no one and not known by everyone
I'm stared with searching eyes that struck my bone
...

Every child has a father or even did
I call not all men, fathers
Fathers are great orchestrators of good deeds
Valiant in all things though overwhelmed by a myriad
...

At midnight in my rest
I feel life move on my legs
I thought it a dream
Yet again in the same place moved
...

The day fades
As the sun disappears
The moon smiles
For its yoke breaks
...

The sun disappears
The day fades
Darkness spread its winds
To take the earth captive
...

Once saw I a goddess pass before my dwelling
Into her eyes I stared and a smile wry got
The image of her beauty ever carved in my heart
Her voice I never knew, and to her name was I a stranger
...

Let us end it tonight
No don't do this to me please, I love you
So do I, and very much more
But our love, nature approves not of
...
