Chasing Memories

Chasing Memories  In Jannah's embrace, you lie at peace, While I strive to honor you, my love, never cease. Oh, Mommy, it's a challenging path I tread, To survive, your memory kept sacred. Everyone who met you attests to the fact, In your presence, their souls felt intact. How generous you were, your heart so wide, In the depths of your love, many found solace to confide. I feel your absence, a void so deep, Yet, we share a heart, forever it will keep. I'm but a shadow, barely living, As you rest, my heartache, unrelenting. Your heartbeat is still here, never gone, For in mine, its echoes linger on. I can't pretend, grief holds me tight, The world sees my invisible tears every day and night. Oh, how I long for one more chance, To feel your love, to share a last dance. In these words, emotions rise and swell, A poignant tale, a heartache to tell. Invisible tears may flow, and nights may be long, Yet your love in my heart, a forever song. I'll carry your legacy, your ...

Whispers of the Night Watch

Image
When darkness falls and shadows creep, My watch begins, a vigil to keep. I gaze upon the stars, so bright and grand, But one by one, they slip from my hand. The moon, a beacon in the night, I watch her fade, no trace of light. The breeze, it whispers a tender tune, As trees sway, their dance in gloom. The ground, it slumbers, peaceful and deep, While dogs howl, their secrets they keep. I stand alone while others dream, Sleep eludes me, a relentless theme. Is this my fate, a night watch's plight? To wander through darkness, devoid of respite? With a heavy heart, I question my role, A solitary figure, seeking solace for my soul. I'm a guardian of the night, in service I remain, Sacrificing sleep, a solemn vow I sustain. To safeguard the slumber of ordinary souls, In their fearless rest, my purpose gently unfolds.

I THINK GOD IS A WOMAN

I think God is a woman, strong and kind, With a heart that knows no bounds, She nurtures and cares for all mankind, And makes the world go round. She holds the power to heal and mend, With a gentle, loving touch, She stands by us until the end, Through trials that seem too much. Her strength is unwavering, Through every hardship and pain, She shines as a beacon, saving, From the darkness that we can't explain. She is a warrior, brave and true, Defender of the weak and small, Her compassion breaks through, Like a ray of hope, answering the call. I think God is a woman, For in women, I see Her grace, In their beauty, I see Her wisdom, In their love, I feel Her embrace. So let us honor women, For their endless strength and care, For they make the world a better place, From the mountains to the sea, They bring light to every space, Their beauty shines eternally, A gift to the human race. They're mothers, sisters, friends, and more, Their love knows no end, Their spirit rises up to ...

Son of Dagbong

  You have the heart of a Lion  The brain of a philosopher   The strength of a warrior  And the voice of a King 👑  You are the answer  To the prayers of many Even in darkness  You shine  You are a tough seed  Even in stones, you grow  In a supersonic speed  In darkness, you glow  You are the kindle  That burns in the rain  You always bridle  People's pain You are the wood  That sharpens iron  Your zero tolerance for falsehood  Shall take you to Zion You are the sun  That brightens our day  You are the moon  That lightens our career  You are the son  Of Our forefathers  I can go on and on  I still cannot describe you  Son of Dagbong  Chief Worrior  Voice of the People  Karifi 💪🏾 Note: This poem was written to celebrate the Birthday of a man who has touched the lives of thousands. My words cannot describe him well, I just tried to. Happiest Bi...

WOMAN'S SOLEMN CRY

Image
A WOMAN'S SOLEMN CRY The clouds has grown dark. Bending herself like an ark . Frawning her face to the cry of the fatherless in a try to endure and ensure that they fight and  cure the wounds of life's foul mar. It is in this ignominious place that we cherish opulence than our own blessed semen And our pregnant women Yet we claim to be "men" They toil in the sun While you have more than fun Our duties, we shun And take a  "temple run" They are left with pain Beaten by the rain In the company of loneliness And Sighing with bitterness That blessed semen kicks out With fear it cried out Asking questions in an alien language For he came without a luggage Into this old but strange planet With his golden tenet Being his formality Thrashed away by reality  And why won't this dreary World be Scary When men are now monkeys Jumping from tree to tree Making women donkeys The best we do is flee This is more than they bargain...

The Merciful

Image
When all seem wrong When you feel you can't belong Just cry out and sing the song "Astagfirullah" will make you strong Indeed we love to sin . But HE loves to forgive when we din. In sin we spin Yet he is still closer to us than our skin . Even the arrogant is blessed with abundant health and it's blatant that his love is exorbitant Our faith in HIM decreases . HIS hopes in us increases . We get fooled by "shaitan". Still HE insists we are "AL-INSAN". HE gives when we ask Irrespective of our past We need to  unmask before HE gives a task How blessed can we be again For HE created us with brains And brings to us HIS rains So let's cry to him when in pains .

I Want To Fly

I Want To Fly In the land of her majesty And the chambers of clumsy ironies The fireflies fly for fortune Yet cannot satisfy their greed And so I want to fly The voices of the west Like the Spartans in a battle field Chanting aggressively with their swords Singing songs of unknown melodies When all seem lost Makes me want to fly The vultures up above Hovering in the sky Hiding in the shades of love And eating the fruits of our sweat Makes me want to fly Even in the harmathan I grew thin like in the month of Ramadan Without warmth I struggle Breaking through this bottle Of lost hopes To fly into the clouds The benevolent pain Of our forefathers Will not go in vain So I grew strong feathers Stronger than that of a dove Just to fly from the fireflies Written by : Mohammed Saani Kataali Firdaus Tiyumli Aug. 2015.
