PICTURE OF AN ANGEL

A poem dedicated to Esther Omoyeni

I woke up in the morning
Saw a picture of an angel
Her smile is like heaven
Her countenance like the morning dew

She's is the essence of my world
Behind her smile is love, care and tenderness
Just as the sun kisses the flowers
She brings out the beauty in me

Her heart is gentle as the dove
The clouds rest on her shoulders
I couldn't find some one meek and adorable
That can ease the worries of a friend

You lite my day
Gave me a reason to be excited and happy
They say good things don't last forever
But this doesn't apply to you

ONLY FOOLS FALL IN LOVE

#Valentine #Love #AkanUdofia

A request Dedicated to Mellisa from the depth of my heart @Pascal Onyango

Life is difficult living our dreams

Yet it's thrown away for a complete stranger

A woman writes her wishes in her heart

Blessed it with love, tenderness and a prayer

Why do we seek so much for love?

Yet it caused us pain and sorrow

Sometimes I spend the whole night thinking

All the reasons I should never fall in love

But I feel like a fool whenever I see your face

It's like you caught me sitting under the stars

Time fades away like a shredded piece of paper

Each carrying memories of thought of you

Oh, what's so wrong with me?

How can I allow myself love you so blindly?

I keep losing my mind in my sleep

My feelings for you is running deep

It's alright; it was never your fault

I was selfish; I was a fool scared of falling in love

But began to see life clearer and appreciate her better

The day you wrote your name in the pages of my heart

IRREPLACEABLE

When you left I thought I'll do alright 
But many storms has come and gone 
The essence of life is falling apart 
After the rain came sleepless night

I wish I had foreseen this coming 
Life wouldn't have to be so sad 
Tearing my feelings apart 
I could only manage a fragile smile

I've tried many unsuccessful time 
To throw away memories of you 
But it's been no use working my heart out 
All this while she is still fond of you 

I feel silly, it makes me want to cry 
The world seem to be far from me and you 
Life has not been the same 

I still see traces of you in my closet 
A part of me still want you so bad 
Every night, in the morning and at noon 
You are every where in my thoughts 

For you are irreplaceable

TELL ME YOUR DREAM

#Valentine #Poem #Akan #Udofia

While the evening breeze lay on your bed

Mind clouded, thoughts flying free

The moon peeping through your window

The night whispering in your sleep

Is it about me you are dreaming?

How the stars stayed up forever in your heart

A rainy day it was and my heart getting cold

That’s when I fell unconsciously in love with you

Did you notice the way you make me smile?

How you make me happy when I am feeling sad

And all the memories you painted in the sky

It struck me right there that you are my kind of guy

I don’t ever want to leave your side

Tell me how excited I am in your dream

Was I a queen or a princess locked away in a castle?

For all that’s worth, whenever I am lonely

I would want you to be one  to come rescue me

Take me to live with you where your heart reside

For where ever the world takes you

That’s where I want to be

FOREVER

#Valentine #Poem #Akan #Udofia
A poem requested by Gaspard L Abraham Koutchika... To his lovely wife.

Forever, I want to be with you
Through the hill and valley
I am going to walk with you
Hold you close to my heart

Forever, the sun's going to set
Right where we made our vows
The first kiss we had
Brings the joy of a beautiful home

Forever, time's going to stay by your side
So we can spend moments together
Every precious thought of you
I'll paint pictures of it in my heart

Forever, you're going to be in my arms
Come rainstorm, earthquake or flood
I will never let go your hand
Will make sure you never lost a smile

Forever, you're going to live in my heart
Together we're going to watch our first baby cry
The day he takes his first step
When he says his first word, I'll be there

I LOVE YOU FOREVER❤

THE WORLD IN MY HEART

#Valentine #Poem #Akan #Udofia
Dedicated to you... For your friendship, love and support.

I've the world in my heart
I've got friends all around the universe
From Nigeria down to Africa, Germany to America
I've got friends in Asia, France, Russia and India

With so much love from England, Scotland and Canada
And countries I might not remember
But I know what it feels like to be loved
In your likes, comments, advice and support

With a billion dollars I wouldn't be able to afford
To repay back every bit of smile you planted in my heart
For I could never had gone this far
If not for your care, friendship and love

That you've made to grow in my heart over time
Today I have become a better man
In time of trials and temptation, I will overcome
Because I've got the world right in my heart

Happy Valentine Day with... LOVE FROM MY THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

THE HEART OF A FRIEND

#Valentine #Poems #AkanUdofia
Dedicated to Norbert by Gloria Taylor

You've got the heart of a friend
So huge it can accommodate the world

You could be a thousand miles away
But warm thoughts is in my heart to stay

It never get lonely out here in the cold
I know where ever you are, got my hand to hold
Your smile lite up the whole universe
At night, it stays up the sky as stars

I could never get lost as long i've you
You made the world I grew up to knew
Amazing and exceptionally beautiful
Can't stop the helplessness of being fond of you

A friend they say stick with you forever
No wonder when I am ill, just thinking of you makes me get better
Thank you for walking in my life
You made me feel young like I am still five

HOW I WISH YOU WHERE LOYAL TO MY LOVE MY JOY

#Valentine #Poem #Akan #Udofia
A Poem requested by Crownchris Ifeoluwa

I wasn't lying when I told you that I love you
I even got you name tattooed on my shoulder
Just my way of having you around with me
Where ever I am on the road, will take you with me

I wrote my heart out to you in black and white
Showed you the pages of my feelings for you
For you I couldn't spill a cup of water
Since I found out you're the right girl for me

But why do you keep my feelings away from you
Don't you want to be apart of the picture
Would be nice to have you by my side
Let me take your hand and lite your smile

Now the sun is falling out of reach
Hope I've got the heart to withstand it
My love for you is withering slowing
Don't tell me you are not feeling it too

Can you tell me what is it you want me to do
To convince you that I care a lot about you
Can you roll over to my bed side
If you don't mind, and let me to take you home

DON'T WALK AWAY

#Valetine #Poem #Akan #Udofia

Dedicated to Tashiv Ndoro by Refentse Ingrid

Please don't walk away
You're all I've got
I acted brave when am with you
But inside I am a scared little child

At night when I am walking back home
I feel you presence in the stars
The world would be incomplete without you
Can't imagine a world without the sun and moon

When ever I am lonely, knew I could count on you
People keep talking about true love
But I couldn't express the way you make me feel
I let my selfishness and ego got the best of me

I will lose everything the day you walk out of my life
I will be lost, devastated and depressed
Life will be miserable without you
A man such as you is hard to come by

IN LOVE WITH YOU

#Valentine #Poem #Akan #Udofia

A request Dedicated to Peace by Chibuzo Christain

Writing you this letter has been difficult

Its the hardest thing I have ever done

I feel shy and scared but don't want to lose you

I think about you twenty four seven

My feelings for you were locked inside

One evening as we sat together under the cloud

My feelings fell and broke wide open

Ever since has been running free with thoughts of you

I tried to tell you like a million times

But don't seem to find the words to express this feelings

It hurts me so bad holding back this from you

I got use to you and somehow fell in love with you

I asked the wind to whisper to you

That everyday I think about you

But she don't know the depth of my love for you

How my heartbeats faster when ever I am with you

I love you with every breathe in my heart

I regret everyday that passes by that I am lonely inside

You know how to make me smile and feel alright

You are like the rose planted in the garden of my heart

Please don't say anything

Just look into my eyes and hold my hands

Take my heart, for it belong to you

All I think of lately is to be with you

MISSING YOU

#Valentine #Poem #Akan #Udofia
A poem as requested by Clinton R Kamanga

Last night I looked at the sky but couldn't find a star
The night was quiet; in my heart I was wearing a scar
As I stare at the world without you in it
I cold breeze blew my thoughts and I felt lonely in my heart

I might be doing well despite life challenges
I might look healthy and fit to work for years
I might be walking down the street wearing a smile to everyone around me
But there will still be emptiness deep within me

Can't seem to find my direction, because without you I will be lost
Like the stars you add life to the cloud in my heart
You made my heart beautiful every night by just been around 

I could sail the sea of life but someone as special as you I can't find 

I can't imagine life without you
I can't afford to spend another lonely night without you
A world without you will leave my heart wide open
I will be confused, be out of my mind and miserable

HEAVENLY LOVE

#‎Valentine‬ ‪#‎Poems‬ ‪#‎Akan
Dedicated to my Pastor Dennis Aicken by Cheryl Holtz

 

North, west, south and east
Served the Lord without thoughts of gain
Selflessly you sold all you've got for nothing
For a brother's life to be at the right place

You might not know how many weary lives you've found
The countless souls saved from devil's pit
And brought them back into God's fold
Every bruises inflicted on you is to uplift a brother

May God refilled every empty barrel used for his sake
Every sacrifices made, may God refill it with His grace
Day and night on your knees you prayed
For every heart that's lost through Jesus will find the way

A Shepard watching over God's flocks
A true disciple and leader of God's work
Heaven blessed the day you where made
For the lives rescued from eternal condemnation

SONG IN MY SOUL

#‎Valentine‬ ‪#‎Poems‬ ‪#‎Akan
Dedicated to my Pastor Dennis Aicken as requested by Chery Holtz

There is a song in my soul

A song of Thanksgiving
For God has been faithful to me

A song of grace
For God has been good to me

A song of victory
He fought all my battle for me

A song of mercy
For He pardon my sins and set me free

A song of joy
For He fills my heart with blessing and favour

A song of worship
For He took my glory beyond heaven 

A song of peace
When I am was sad He comfort me

A song of healing
When I was sick or broken hearten He visits me

Oh hallelujah, I will sing praises to thy mighty Lord
For I would never had gone this far if not for His grace

LOVE UNDEFINED

 #Valentine #Poems #Akan #Udofia

Dedicated to  my lovey Kids Jen and Joshua Mphanda By Agnes Mphanda

I have never felt so special in my life
I never doubted God wouldn't give me a perfect smile
But it baffled me to wonder why He loves me so much
Why when He created the world, He blessed me as such

Gave away two beautiful angels to watch over me
They thought me how to care and be patient
When I am sometimes down, they remind me to be thankful
They remind me why Jesus died on the cross for me

I knew I had to pray every night before I lay me down to sleep
His words thought me not to be worried
Because He has already taking care for my needs
To every women did God give sufficient grace

The strength to carter for her home
The will to uphold a mothers hope
To love, care and protect the her family
Right from her tender age

I could never love one, but two amazing kids
Everything I ask for in life, Father you gave to me free
I will always praise and adore you lord
For given me the privilege to be a mother

UNDER THE CLOUD

#Valentine #Poems #Akan #Udofia
Dedicated to Iheanyichukwu Iheanyi as requested by  HerExcellency Chizaram Janemaris

Its not often to come across someone so rare
When it rains, stand with you out in the cold
When you are ill or got a flu
Lay with you by your bed until you feel brand new

When you are down and feeling sad
Just thinking of them makes you smile
Stands by you through thick and think
When in need one can always count on him

You are special in every way
When ever I travel out of town
You call to check on me from time to time
Every moment we spent together is priceless

No one can measure the value you add to my life
No one can count the stars you planted in my heart
You seem to know my thoughts and feelings
Like an angel sent to watch over me

Thank you for being there for me
Thank you for been a friend, one-of-a-kind
There is no way I can pay back your love and friendship
But to let you know that I understand

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE

 #Valentine #Poems #AkanUdofia

Dedicated to Kelvin Eshun... With Love from Kristina Oheneba 

I love you just the way you are

I am not looking for diamond or crystal in you

I am not in love with you because you are handsome

Wealth got nothing to do with the way I am feeling

When I look into your eyes I see someone special within

It clings deep into my heart when I first set eyes on you

There is something unique and special that's found in you

There is no need to hide my feelings behind the curtain

You've got a soft heart; your thoughts are genuine to nothing

Every night I want to hold you in my arms

The reason I keep seeing you in my dreams

Tomorrow, to the world might be just another day

But to me it’s another privilege to be with you

When you smile, it lights up memories of a lifetime

No one touches my heart the way you do

Everything about you is remarkable, it's just the way you are

DEAR STEPHANIE

Dedicated to Stephanie with love from your brother... Amoak Abd Derrick

Of all the good memories I have had

Nothing comes close to our childhood

The tenderness of your love taught me how to care

I was selfish as a child, now a man with a heart the world to share

You where dad’s favorites

In no time you also became mom’s favorite

Always trying to beat me on our way back from school

Your pretty little smile tells so much about you

I think you were born the same day God gave birth to the sun

Must be the reason why at home I feel like the last born

Besides being pretty, you knew how to make my worries fly

Got me out of trouble, I was too weak to tell a lie

Sometime when you pretend you don’t care

It get scared when I get teased by my friends

We were perfect together, everyone could tell

My sister, my best friend, for you I will always be there

In Tamale, I am as proud to be a brother of a princess

Everyone we knew seem to fall in love with you

Oh Stephanie, I am glad we spent a good time together

Wish you the best of life and hope someday you fulfill your dreams
