A SWEET-BITTER ME

A broken heart waiting to be glued

A scattered mind waiting for an inspiration

A sinking soul waiting for a pulling hand

A troubled body taking rest in a dream world

Chased away by the cruel hands of reality

A thousand sermons, believing in a change

Tears shed day and night

Lingering visions regardless of troubles shrouding it

The sight of folks progressing

A troubled heart shrouded by forged smiles

A three day warmth from three children

Consoling the heart for a jiffy

A sweet-bitter me

IN MY NEST by nartey romeo akwetey

Tears in my eyes

My fingers so cold as ice

My heart too much a price

My spirit broken thrice

My life uncertain as dice

All I ever did was to be nice

The wind of love blows my way

Sweetly and painfully my heart it slays

And soon my joy it takes away

Like in the month of may

When the rains leaves no space for the suns rays

U nto hope I cling and to manifestation I pray

My days are filled with miseries

My life based on forged memories

My heart so common as groceries

My book filled with so many love stories

My problem way too much for the fairies

This more than blood running through my arteries

To the distance I cry

To the near I try

Everything seems so dry

My visions draw nigh

My pain last for awhile

My tongue taste the bitterness of bile

Who shall understand my plight

Who shall lead me through this night

The battle too strong to fight

Just when all seemed right

And bright

My joy passes away like the blinds sight

This is not for the strong

Neither a punishment for my wrongs

This is a piece of my song

This is my crown of thongs

This is the sound of my gong

Saying to my troubles so long

Write for paint by nartey romeo akwetey

Here I sit in the middle of the night

And memories of my past keeps telling to fight

Reaching for the dreams once dreamed off

Regardless of them being tough

In the middle of my thoughts I stand

Earnestly seeking to hold your hands

Telling you tales of refreshing brand

Never ending tunes and melodies play

And symbols of love molded with clay

Adjusting the heart like tablets on a tray

Acquaintance of old

Demanding of stories yet untold

Just like by the fire side

Easy grand paa, take us on a ride

Listening to those stories

Easily brought back memories

Yawning, yet yearning for more

Saddled with so much to do

Opens ones spirit up as a great tool

Wondering how shes going to go about the painting

After all is written without fainting

Hetty must do it without panting

                                                                                   

IT’S A NAME By Romeo Akwetey Nartey. Assissted by Siaw Agyemang

Getting a single moment with you is all I desire

Even if it means being a coward ten times and being brave once

Regardless of the sayings of the thousands;it might seem bizzare

This is something I have thought about;not once, not twice

Romeo might seem too fake a name, but I am me

Unacquainted with you, the more reason I want to

Days have gone by but what I feel is what I feel

Entangeled in my own thoughts

                                  

Simple is your smile

Endearing is your presence

Far from what they say, I am ready to walk a thousand more mile

Against all odds, I shall hold you even in your absence

Regarless of what you might say

Kindly deny me not of your footprint

Ordinary as I may seem, nerver say nay

Radiate your beauty on me, and it shall form a dint

Knowledge of your presence makes me freeze

Pretty is small a word to describe your beauty

Enthused  is me when you pass by;  a breeze

Never shall I stop gazing even till eternity

Days have gone by yet I stand at the center of my thoughts

Ever wishing for  such a moment

                                                              

To that fair ladyA work by nartey romeo akwetey and akwasi siaw agyemang

They came in pair

But I noticed her

Not because she was fair

But  because she was there

Her smile put me in awe

Then I exclaimed  wow!!!

And she asked why?

And at once my lips went dry

To console myself in surprise, I said hi!!!

And soothingly replied, hey!!!

In nature’s bossom, I found

Again, her beauty I do profound

I yearn’d to talk but I’m bound

Still tried to speak

But fright was at its peak

Because blending with nature’s beauty

I find her much pretty

In that water, clear crystal

As a beautiful coloured petal

Became I frozen as a metal

                                    

A combined ideas

Made this art pleasing to the ears

My fair lady

These are thoughts and pens

from me and my buddy
