Bartholomew Arkoh Boamah Sarbah Poems

From the tribes come the cries of grief
From the phlegm a stream of tears flows
In the dept of our hearts
In the vacuum created suddenly
...

I dream of you day and night
And wish to return to you;
When I see you with open hands
Day and night have I occupied myself with your thought;
...

I searched my heart
I tried to pretend
You were the one I always found
I tried to ignore your presence
...

From the mountain top
onward we go;
Marching gallantly in shrouded countenance
Our Brides awaits us in purple apparel;
...

Awake mother Africa, awake
For you lie asleep for long
Your future is in the balance
And your dignity fades away with the passing of the days
...

Down below the ground come the voices of the great heroes
The pillars of Africa in those days........
From the west come the cries of grief
From the horizon flows the blood of Africa
...

We have suffered long in silence
We the innocents of the land
Guns and bullets holds our rights
And death is hastened by hunger
...

Life.... Life.... Life....
Oh life, life is truely a mystery
Life, life, life
Why is it beyond understanding?
...

She walks
Gorgeously with the elegance of an adorned Princess
And her shadow, cast to her behind,
Is the shrouded image of a professional model
...

Oh beautiful woman
The epitome of love
It is you I greet dear mother
The one whose nipple I suckled at infancy
...

A thousand wishes rushed her path o'er her soul
With gorgeous promises from the dark future;
From the north and from the south,
From the east and from the west
...

One People, One Nation, One Destiny

Nearer, our right gradually approaches us
And louder our mother's call becomes
...

Daily enslaved by the thoughts of you
I am paralyzed in my heart for your sake
And though my mind struggles to get a moment relieve
My heart refuses to ever concur
...

In wholistic proportion her personage was destined
to form a perfect coverage of her constructed framework
And the elements of nature rest with her;
Apparently, the sun shines for her sake
...

Smile to me, my love
Smile till your lips wreathe
to reveal the canines of your teeth
Laugh all you can at my joke
...

The night breezed gently by
with whispers of love
and melodic tunes of heavenly descend.
...

Now the youth are traveling;
To Canada, the Middle East,
To all nations providing escapes;
Desperate to redeem our trampled opportunities
...

I am born in September;
With love radiating
As the rays of the modern sun,
Yet soft as the beautiful velvet,
...

The night breezed gently by
with whispers of love
and melodic tunes of heavenly descend
...

Slowly the clouds became pregnant;
And slowly we waited for her to deliver
In anxiety and curiosity
Time went on, grew old and deaf
...

The Best Poem Of Bartholomew Arkoh Boamah Sarbah

State Death

From the tribes come the cries of grief
From the phlegm a stream of tears flows
In the dept of our hearts
In the vacuum created suddenly
untamed sorrow settles unopposed
and our hands are heavy and tied

A mighty oak has fallen
The leg that sought to carry the heavy load of the body
has ceased to remain active
The head of the people is no more
Forever gone with the eyes and chambers of knowledge

But whenever the gong summons
There is no turning back
and our departure is inevitable
But the lose of a great captain
leaves the boat at the mercy of the sea

It is with aching hearts that we sing
the melody of our departed hero
as the cold wind rustles solemnly by
and our sorrow surges as to beggar all description
with the grateful memories that seeks to remain forever

Receive our fervent condolence
Your Excellency
He who sat on the throne as president
yet death considered not your service
Damirifa Due;
Due ne amanehunu.
