Piano In My Head

Piano In My Head( how I met my partner)

As Paapa and Koo Bentum sat 
Under the sacred Onyaa,
Sipping the little pito 
Left under the breasts of the calabash
Lamenting over the passage of Bruwaa, 
Her golden strip plucked my eyes! 
I could feel it down the bows of my heart 
Striking the keys on my every piano 
Making my pink sound 
Turn into a great white sound- 
a classical music!

Flashbacks had it rumours of Kwansima, 
Parading its paramours 
Of how we met after that funeral. 
My heart felt at rest, a calm sea
For it found its right rib
Dancing abogya in my caged chest. 

For this period 
I've gotten to know the real you 
An enchanting damsel, whose love tales 
Shared the little ampesi of Maame's abom with me.
Like a poet of love, she changed my last name 
Into a contagious rhyme verse 
Making my heart wallow
In this pool of love in ebusua kuruwa…
