Shahinaz Shahy Poem by Isaac Yaw Osei

Sweet! Sweet! Shahinaz! Shahy!
Never! Never! Alone me! To alone you!
We're worth the sun. We're well over
And over again so, I wonder and wander
Over when she's gone away from home and
Where she can go else from me?

Sweet! Sweet! Shahinaz! Shahy! Sweet hugging me
Rowing through half moon and candlelight
With braided hair, cowry necklace on a light sky Tee
Sweet! Sweet! Shahinaz! Shahy! Sweet kissing me
Butting through pennicum and palm-green shores
With firewood, sandalwood and sweet palm wine.

But one day, I worth the song
That same sweet! Sweet! Sweet!
Shahinaz! Shahy! Never! Never!
Alone me! To alone you! Stripped with silver cropped hair,
Shaking off the light garlands of sweat
Wallow in despair in the luxury of the hotel

No I know I did no wrong of wrong
‘cos I love your rainbow right
And I never leave your raincoat
So I keep wondering and keep wandering
Where she's gone… When she's gone
Gone from me, away from home…


Sweet! Sweet! Shahinaz! Shahy!
Never leave me, my rainbow Shahy
When she's gone to where she's gone
Far and out, away and over, over and over
Now, I'm here on the mountain top
Burning rags to cure my ill-fated cell
Again! My sickle sell is gone from me

Know, I know I did no wrong
No, I know I did no wrong
Know (No) I did you no wrong
I wonder and wander when I should not
Please help me rainbow
And I am the only one with wants and needs.

But since you'll come home, I'll greet you
And wish you could love me, the way I am
My hope, if it is of love that you wish
To follow, LOOK and SEE no further
Than the sun: as there is no star that shines
With more warmth by day from a clear sky.
So we can speak of no greater contest than here!
