Quotes I want to be loved I want to be loved But you’re the walking red flag Wearing different shades of selectivity You live in a world of fantasy Looking for a real person to give you ecstasy Height is your banner On complexion, you always hammer Wealth is your loud speaker Class is what’s on your radar I want to be loved I want to be loved But you’re cooped up in your room like a furniture Your phone, your vision butcher Yet a dating site is not in your plan As others’ voices have walked you into a ban. A poem on the I want to be loved Love is not noisy It is like fresh waters flowing from uphill into an ocean So calm So cool So refreshing So exciting It is amazing how I had to travel here …to find it. A poem on love truly There are days I feel like throwing this body away There are days I feel like beating it like a distasteful donkey There are times I feel like burning it …and throwing the ashes somewhere even air can’t reach There are times I want nothing to do with it But when I love it …it takes me on a whole new level A poem on when I love myself I write this letter in mock reverence of your time You whose mountains of problems hang thorns and stumps On the trees of your dreams Making the closure of your eyes nightmarish And the mattress of your bed hellish Yet find time to look keenly at my strides With eagle eyes when your hawk eyes fail In reportage like an international reporter with no known portfolio If only you knew freelancing gossips receive no pay checks!!! A poem on the dear gossip of my life] In this place In this time It is a story time Around my territory Some ears are corked Enjoying my honey Flowing into them Wanting the thickest to feel the surge And it shows The hush hushes The eye eyers The unhearable mumblings are its evidence It is a past Made into a good story I care not what it entails And will certainly not let it define me now. There are many instances love turns sour Spreading through all corners of head and heart a sore …always pushed to the fore I believe no rat should live with a cat Because in famine, one will use the other for sacrifice We all know who will lose In a situation where you have to sacrifice you …for a partner’s choices Choose you Because your choices …no matter how bad Will, like a breathing in and out, …gift you the exhilaration of a trying No matter the bait one promises for your fate Choose you Don’t live loose and think your survival depends on subleting your happiness Your lonely fears, like temporary rain, will vaporize …leaving you fearless and determined If you choose yourself External links Category:Women authors from Ghana Category:Poets from Ghana Category:1983 births Category:Living people
