Richard Antwi Poems

1.

Death
Who is Death?
I am death, the killer of giants,
Men and women, young and old
...

My love for you
Is as strong as the railway track
Each day, holding tons of weight
Yet, unbending and unwavering
...

Let me tell you…
I am the green leaf
The beauty of beauties
I start from gorgeous yellowish green
...

My love for you
Is inseparable

Too tight, too close
...

At a Meeting
I was at a meeting
To develop a community project
A meeting of two confluences
...

Peace
Better than riches
Wealth without peace
Is but sleepless nights
...

At the graveyard
To burry an acquaintance,

Recognised the volume of sand
...

8.

He taught and preached
He did miracles and healed
He raised the dead
He was falsely accused
...

Finished work earlier
Decided to go home for a good rest
Just to have fun
What a joy that could be
...

Jollof Rice
Splendidly sumptuous
A delight of West Africa
Popular among various races round the world
...

She has lion's heart
Full of love
I tried to own that heart
But was scared
...

Strong Ties
Family bond
I never knew of such love
Many times I don't even greeted
...

14.

My Angel,
My guardian
My interceder
Working between God and me
...

I was cold so I confided in a burning FIRE
He told me to go to the WATER instead
Because the water will shortly quench him.
I quickly ran to the water but he said, I can't save you because the SUN will soon dry me up; go to the CLOUD instead.
...

The Heavens belong to you
The Earth and all that is within
Belongs to you
Oh, King of Kings
...

waiting
And waiting for
An Appointment time
That could be longer
...

On my way to the Pebble Beach
Was so excited for this day
Special day set aside
For my birthday
...

Splendid, sizzling summer
At the overcrowded beach
Loitering, looking and lurking
But she was hustling and bustling
...

See the shouting teacher,
I think he's shooting at the preacher.

He finds it hard to see the book,
...

The Best Poem Of Richard Antwi

Death

Death
Who is Death?
I am death, the killer of giants,
Men and women, young and old
Rich and poor
And all living things upon the earth
I am so called that when I enter a house,
Before I come out of that house,
All the people become powerless
Fatherless, motherless, husbandless, wifeless
And again, they share tears a lot
For the opulent, famous and kings
I kick them with my foot
While their wealth become worthless
But Lo!
I'm not death as you often call me
I'm the 'Messenger of God'.
I come to relieve people from old age,
Never ending sickness, suffering and endless agony!
