and into<br />
the early morning warm coffee shops<br />
in Trafalgar Square.<br />
I,<br />
Kwatei Nee-Owoo will woo<br />
ALL OVER AGAIN<br />
the apple blossoms of your Amerindic<br />
cheeks<br />
moon-massaged by a touch of bronze<br />
with words woven<br />

the cherry blossoms<br />
in your amethystine hair<br />
all the way from the narrow winding<br />
paths<br />
of the osonno-serenaded nightmarket<br />
at Bukom Square<br />
into the jacaranda fairyland folds<br />
of the caves in Papua New Guinea.<br />

the warmth of your Sunday morning<br />
palm<br />
with calabashfuls of spring water<br />
from the bounteous bubbling bossom<br />
of the Kintampo Waterfalls.<br />
