Years saunter to their ends
With all the twists and bends.
We were absolved and resolved.
we congregated and converged;
...
I came with a jerk, perfectly nude
With a caul for a treat.
I gurgled, chuckled and beamed lush;
Luxuriant and infectious smiles from ear to ear.
...
Life is nothing but one, a day
Fraught with moments eclectic be.
A breath, a whiff, frittered away
'Midst the drudgeries etched O Ye!

Ayisi Gordon Gullanyi is my name. I am a Ghanaian and still finding my way. I really like books and reading all kinds of stuff. In fact, I write poetry and I am an upcoming spoken word poetry artist. I like English literature as well as African literature. I speak English and Twi(a native Ghanaian language) but I am learning French and German. I am 19 I adore Catholic literature. St Thomas Aquinas inspires me very much and I am working on an anthology of poems.)
Resolutions
Years saunter to their ends
With all the twists and bends.
We were absolved and resolved.
we congregated and converged;
To keep to our resolutions on end.
Successful or otherwise it may be,
I strode, strove and yielded to Thee,
My God, who art my greatest strength.
Piecemeal I did put out my efforts to mirth,
But my gait was too fast to achieve the GIRTH.
Oh! My goals I set, my dreams I dreamt.
But to no avail or NOT!
Nay! New aspirations and dreams spring up,
Valueless vigour, verve and vitality I burp.
To the new year I knoweth not what to usurp.
The verisimilitude to the culmination
Spears through the orifice of perspiration.
Darn it! My resolutions I resuscitate and intimate;
Every quarter of the 365 days, you bet.
My recompense, my GUERDON is the climactic tempest.
For the love of God you are very much important and I pledge myself in your service.
