The looks by nartey romeo akwetey

Who would have ever thought

That all this but for a while

Watching her makes her heart bleed

Not at all, it wasn’t because of her deed

They say a man never cry, but that was what I did

I know they might have told her

How good she looks

Yes, those crooks

As if that’s all shes got

Like they might have said “she is hot”

Oh! what a world

And how soon beauty coils

Funny how we all toil

Just to keep in shape

But I ask, why couldn’t she escape

A thousand questions on my mind

She might have kind

Now she is blind

So I ask who can find

In their eyes she is not worth a dime

A one time beautiful garden

Now a rejected desert

An angel sent from above

Now the devil cast from above

Nonetheless, she is still the little dove

Now what can she hold on to

But that which is left inside of her

That beautiful spirit right in there

Yes the creators breathe

Which is immune to death

99% chemistry 1% everything else

From archaeology  to zoology

Tell me where I am not found

Is it in mycology?

Or in the  celestial bodies?

In biology?

Or in water bodies?

Sometimes I marvel at my importance

Like in medicine for instance

I give patience a second chance

It is not enough to just give me a glance

If given the chance, your life will I enhance

Just take a look at water

Or even butter

These are but a few I offer

Like in blood I aid in buffer

I give grace and honour to the green keeper

Beauty for ladies

Warmth for babies

And all that is best and bright in goodies

Not to mention of those special cookies

That brings you those sweet memories

I guess you are enjoying this piece without a blink

That is due to the power of an ink

That beautiful coat is just the product of the fur of a mink

You cant do without me just like a thermometer without a kink

I am everywhere , even in those jewellery that blinks

At least by nartey romeo akwetey

I came with the cleanest of mind

And the purest of heart

But you thought I was of the same kind

Nonetheless I did my part

I stood afar

yet saw the best

thought it will end on the altar

but it silently faded like the rest

I tried

But she never heard me call

I cried

But to my own fall

But through it all

I’ve learnt to be the best

To stand up tall

Among the rest

THE ROAD WE WALKED by Nartey Romeo Akwetey

We stood a distance

And watched the road others walked

From that far it looked all rosy

We struggled just to have our feets imprinted on it

Thinking we left our struggles behind

But those were the realities on our minds

Like a dream come through

Our impulsion to get there was fulfilled

Liittle did we know that all we saw was a mirage

Of all the prestige attached to it

We were obliged to pay a price for it

But what then do we do?

Do we go back a settle in our old feeble tents?

Certainly no, that will be cowardice

We have come too far to settle for less

Your strength my strength and mine yours

Together with one accord

We will leave our footprints as we had conceive

Side by side we will walk this road

With one strength we will lift one another

And shake the dust off

With the heart of lions we will never faint

We shall cross to the other end

And when we get there

With sweat and smiles on our faces

HAPPY BIRTHDAY by Nartey Romeo Akwetey

From the days in the womb

To the days in the tomb

In between lies our  destiny

Very great, yet in our eyes very tiny

The stage of life was set with words from the creator

The very brain behind creation; the master inventor

But our lives on earth is but a breath

Its time limit being death

The pen of life is placed in our hands

Our scripts we write with our own imaginations

Our fortunes, our fame and brands

All depends on our decisions

The creator stands by to help; each time we call

Each passing second He gives to all

In silence He stands, but yearning to talk

Our lives, too busy in this journey we walk

But this day, I pray thee my pal

Give not all to celebrations

He is listening; a whisper or a call

Spare thy time (a little portion) for reflections

He gives strength for all corrections
