and so this dance!

Novisi Dzitrie

and this dance
you bring
beckoning me
dazzling me
charming me!

do i have liberty
to deem it as i see
the motives of your mazy motions?

and what if…?
what if
this dance you dance around me
is only a trap you bring to ensnare me
enslave me…
make me bow at the snap of your fingers
before your temple!
poor soul me
you scare me!

OR
do I take it without
question
i’m just such a master drummer
so much so
i drum you beats
caressing the pulse of your soul
unleashing the flow of rhythm in you
with such dexterity at my finger tips
you canNOT resist!

so you come!
you come rolling your eyes at me
staring me a dewy-morning gaze
from the corner of your eyes

and so you come!

you come with the call of your glossy-lips
teasing me
seducing me
and leaving me
and leaving me
HOLY
with the lingering wriggle
of your hips
you!
you sex me!

Taboos

An article by Nana Nyarko Boateng

Our sex culture is in a "blockbuster series". Though roles are largely inexact; women, men and children get on it like it's nobody's production. In the absence of a well meaning director, nobody says cut, no one says lights; all there is, is action. The Ghanaian culture is diverse, and yet there are some common characteristics and fundamental concepts across the nation. Sex is one theme that has a common consensus on how it should be handled. Many Ghanaians are comfortable with keeping sex in the throne room of taboos. Our sexual psychology and manners protrudes on an inattentively expanded stage where audiences pretend not to see the human blood that drips from their complimentary tickets.

Polemic on Our Deception as a People

An article by Nana Yaw Sarpong

In Africa, we have continued to live as a people who do not bite-- although in our collective effort we can more than any other grouping-- not even when we are wronged. When we wrong others, we are quick to make things right, not for fear, but for peaceful co-existence. That has been our way, the way.
