Barima Basoah Poems

Treasure tucked away in my chest,
hidden in the deep cave of my heart,
that I cherish you most.
...

Lost wanderer in a desolate wilderness,
frail and weak fall from a push by despair,
lying at the bottom of a darkened deep pit,
wincing out in gnawing pain,
...

Love of money makes you hold on,
pride among men makes you boast of,
hypocrisy before men makes you show of,
pleasures of this world makes you lose of,
...

The man of man,
the man among men,
valuable than precious gem,
the most precious man.
...

From the vine brew the wine,
I could only pour a glass of wine,
but with you it tastes sweet.
Let's have the best conversation,
...

In the beginning, man is created,
in the image and likeness of spirits,
out of dust of the ground the potter molds,
pumped with breath he quickens to a living soul,
...

A spirit living in a dust,
nothing but a weak mortal,
nothing but a rotten flesh,
blossom as desert's full moon,
...

In the eyes of God is man,
created humans being by spirit.
in the eyes of gods are men,
instruments of service, offerings for sacrifice,
...

You appear very tiny and blur,
you only lengthen as sunlight increases,
you are controlled by fate,
as light directs a shadow.
...

The womb has robbed off all memories,
you don't know and remember where you from,
you boast of many here now and to come,
yet you have not, not even yourself,
...
