Alas, a day has come and gone
Another day will soon be born
But before then the night must reign
Over sunshine and over rain
...
Behold, my mind has found no rest
It's just as puzzled as a test
Confusion envelopes me on all sides
Pushing in and out like the tides

My name is Samuel Mintah and I'm from Ghana. I'm 17 years old. I come from a family of 5, my parents and my 2 sisters and me. I love reading almost anything I come across though I know I havn't read much, yet! I am currently in high school, which I will graduate from this year. I started writing at the age of 13 but unfortunately I never kept my poems. I started compiling my poems when I was 16 but I still have a long way to go. My role model is Emily Dickinson and I hope to write as much poems as she wrote. My poems do not normally talk about me but all the same..... Enjoy!)
Beauty Of The Night
Alas, a day has come and gone
Another day will soon be born
But before then the night must reign
Over sunshine and over rain
Over all creatures it casts a spell
Though some resist it, even myself
With little or no light from the moon
All fall deep into sleep, soo soon
Then begins the mystery of the night
The true existence of new life
The cycles by which life survives
The power by which death revives
The lucky few watch in amazement
As the night undergoes enchantment
Mesmerized by its forbidden beauty
And wishing it their own deity
But soon comes another day
For the night is not here to stay
Breaking the spell the night has cast
Which, quite fortunately, never lasts
