The most relished moments

I’m in chains, you’re in chains too... Mr. Jailer, Stop Calling Me A Prisoner... It’s about time I bid adieu to the days where I was gaoled  wondering whether I’d for once in this damned cage be greeted with a wall of text saying you cared as much I do. I was always waiting, and waiting for the turning gyre, waiting for that moment where a sporadic conversation might flow. You all know, all the moments you initiated good, telling connection, made me more than happy — but that did not happen— oh how I hate spoilers! Perhaps  I shouldn’t have tried too hard at getting your attention; Hopes were high, might as well be better to say that false hopes which were raised threw me down a downward spiral, and I should have seen through it. Oh but these cages, these cages, mr jailer, clouded my better judgement! Start learning any African language today!  Everyone talks about love in ways that transcend what our naked eyes may want to believe. Love is love but you can’t just help it

I call him "Daddy-long-legs" because of his tall, slender frame with long legs. Just a few inches taller than I am. I was overwhelmed  in a positive way that fateful Saturday. I mean the reception itself was beyond comprehension. They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and I think that might be fairly true. " Would you like to go to Rabat with us? " Hajia Latifa   asked after the sumptuous meal of couscous had settled. Although I looked confused, probably because I did not understand what was being said, I just nodded. Rabat, okay let's go. There's no harm in that. She was already dressed in a beautiful djallabia laced with embroidery on the front. All right, that was so typical. Oh how can I forget Haj Abdelrahim (It's pronounced a certain way). I prefer to call him Alhaji Rahim since I couldn't bear with the twisting of my delicate tongue (I'm smiling in old negro spiritual). " Yo quiero", "je t'

"The city is the finest place  " , I always imagined . More often than not , I conjure up images of urban areas being the most exquisite places to ever live on this earth superior to my rural setting . The fascination of city life as depicted by movie producers enslaved my mind - forever enveloped in this illusion . I then developed a longing for an urban life devoid of boredom .          Well , there was one opportunity for me to live that dream . It was not until the day uncle Darko, who lives in the city of Accra , came home for a visit . I could not conceal the great joy I had when he informed me that he would be taking to the city for a tour . No time could be wasted as I got ready to experience the thrills of the city of Accra .          As the vehicle departed for the city, my uncle said to me ,"  my son, if you don't move the city , the city will move you  " . The statement made by him left a food for thought as I pondered over its meaning . The pictu
