Nii Ayi Solomon Poems

It was in the early days of our lives
We met
She was so beautiful
My eyes could not stop admiring
...

The street is my home
It is where I belong
I know no love
So I make it not part of my daily vocabulary
...

How long must I be in the dark room?
Staring into emptiness
Thy feet is treasured
Roll on the floor with me
...

My mind quizzed me
I became insane
Thrashed by the hopes of yesterday
Vanished dreams embraced me
...

I heard their call in the far land
But I will not respond
Their deeds I will not look at before rising
Their accusations and murmurs however whack me in the face
...

Why must I have a make-up of a fool?
Leaving me with horrors of my past
The past that mirror a fractured heart
And a sinking dream
...
