When The Room Is Empty

Holding On

‎We were taught:

‎“do unto others

‎as you want done to you.”

‎Now we live by:

‎“do unto others

‎as they will do to you.”

‎No one gives

‎what they would deny themselves.

‎I feel you most

‎when the room is empty,

‎and lose you

‎when you everywhere is full of you. 

‎What you give

‎returns as a mirror.

‎We buried the old law,

‎but its stones still weigh our pockets.

‎We speak grace easily,

‎yet measure our lives

‎with old scales.

‎So we walk forward,

‎With hands full of yesterday

Weight Of Existence

 ‎

‎I am a free spirit.

‎If you open your eyes or if you have the eyes of the heart, you will see through the ordinary to the extraordinary in me.

‎I do not fight for myself alone; I fight for all.

‎Whether you realize it or not, we are fighting a familiar war, and we are in this together.

‎Do not wait for your cup to run over before you share

‎For what you share might be in vain 

‎It might be too late and the damage of your folded arms 

‎Might never be reversed or even undone 

‎You can choose to fight for yourself only,

‎You can think about yourself only and that is also fine

‎Putting yourself first is not always selfish 

‎But the day the full weight of existence falls on your shoulders, remember this: I have always been the living definition of "no man is an island."



‎Sometimes it is very good we put others first 

‎It is normal to give to others while you starve 

‎Because one day that little seeds you sowed 

‎Might grow to become giants oaks that will shelter

‎And feed you someday and if it doesn't too

‎One day you will be remembered as the good farmer 

‎Who put all aside just to turn the world green

Back To December

 He booked the rain for Christmas Day.




It arrived late

typical.

Even prophecies struggle with Ghana-man-time.

December cleared its throat in protest.

Harmattan had already clocked in:

dry, dusty, dependable.

But rain showed up anyway,

uninvited,

like a guest who refuses to leave,

“God sent me.”

Now everyone is a meteorologist.

Everyone’s a theologian.

The sky sneezes and Twitter screams,

“CONFIRMATION!”

At Rapperholic, the script changed.

God reveals to redeem.

Ah yes

the spiritual “terms and conditions.”

Because when nothing happens,

it’s some form of mercy. 

When something happens,

it’s prophecy.

When anything happens at all,

God was involved somehow.

The rain itself is confused.

It falls in small doses

trial version rain.

Not enough to drown anyone,

just enough to say

“Don’t relax yet.”

Is this begining of the end being foretold 

or the end of common sense?

Here, an ark can mean anything.

Today it is salvation.

Tomorrow it is content.

Next week it is a business opportunity.

Faith is flexible, it bends to fit the narrative

and never breaks accountability.

The inconsistencies don’t prove a lie.

They prove something funnier, no one really knows,

but everyone is pretending they do.

So, the rain falls in December,

the clouds plead the fifth,

and we stand in harmattan,

wet, suspicious,

laughing nervously

while calling coincidence

a sign.

April's Open Secret

It is the first day of a brand-new 

A new dawn moonshines on us,

Causing rays of sunlight on our faces,

With every reflection of the new blessing.


The goddess Venus has opened a door,

Spreading love, growth, and fertility.

Her touch makes hearts and flowers soar,

Unfolding dreams in serenity.


April arrives with hands stretched wide,

Unlocking paths once left unseen.

New doors swing open, hopes collide,

With whispers of what’s yet to be.


Yet laughter drifts upon the air,

A day of jest both bright and sly.

April Fools—beware, take care,

For truth and trick may dance nearby.


But joy and wonder intertwine,

A month of promise, light, and cheer.

For in the mirth, the stars align,

And life’s best moments shine most clear.


Despite all the joy and the merry, irritations are birthed,

So you better beware, let your guard down

Before you fall victim to April’s jest,

A gentle way of welcoming the jest,

To the beauty of the month April.




HERE



Many voices and unheard songs  

Hovering on these empty streets  

Filled with many lucid dreams and hopes  

Unwritten stories and songs  

Flood these streets with no voice to utter  

But I chanced on one today  

Without a voice, he spoke  

And it kept playing somewhere in a corner of my mind  

With the lyrics written all over him  

He said  

"It was never my intention to be here  

I once had a voice but no story  

Or even a lyric to sing  

I was drenched in this happiness  

Until the roof caved in on me  

And everything came rushing down  

And now I have many songs of many colours to sing  

No matter how hard I scream  

The world wouldn't listen  

The world is deaf and I am dumb  

I may have to learn to walk on water without drowning  

Just to lead me out of these streets  

I have no home, I am not homeless  

Just that this hopelessness  

Has rendered me homeless  

The streets have sheltered me ever since my back got broken against the wall  

By the same hearts that built it  

So I fell from the skies only to find there was never a heaven on earth  

Because home was just an egg, it breaks too easily"

The Serpents Song

I showed you the tree of life,

You fed yourself with the forbidden fruit

 Beautifully carved on the breast of the woman

 And death was the price of her feast 

I still do not get why man should be punished,

For following my lead. 

Even the Maker knows You were mortals

And no match for these honey lips 

But God always has a plan I suppose 

Man was made in His own image 

Yet man can never be like Him 

Not even me, the serpent can understand

 The way He flags His wings

 Across the secret skies.

Four Letters

 Love has four letters, and so does April, a month of love in abundance,

Where hatred grows because of its first-day prank,

And laughter spreads in our hearts from the jest we make.


In this month, strength is born, marking the beginning of all weakness,

For love flows deeper than in February’s embrace.

And cusps are born to exhibit the true powers of the cosmos,

Wielded by the sons and daughters of Aries and Taurus,

Who wore their birthday suits from the 19th to the 23rd,

Through the able eyes of astrological findings.


I am a 19th-born, somewhere between the 19th and 23rd,

Making me not only a cusp but also the fusion of fire and earth.

I therefore bear the cusp of power,

Where Aries’ fire meets Taurus' grounding force.


I lead, yet I follow the whispers of the wind.

I burn with fire, yet find solace in the calm of the soil.

Restless in spirit, yet patient in pursuit,

A warrior who fights, yet knows when to yield.


I am the spark that ignites and the ember that remains,

A force of chaos, yet a master of order.

I am both the storm and the shelter,

The beginning and the end—forever caught in between.
