Nana Akosua’s fierce poetry performance during the International Women’s Day book slam organised by the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) and Alliance Francaise (AF) inspired the following tweet from from a member of the audience:
“Nana Akosua’s handle please. She won my oscar. Great job with the show tonight. Kudos!”
On the occasion of World Poetry Day we celebrate Nana Akosua Hanson and all the inspiring poets who move us with their words, and delight us with their performances. Enjoy one of the pieces performed to keyboards by the very talented Nana Akosua on International Women’s Day.
Lovemaking in Purple Rain
Soft lips, soft hands, wet bodies, slow rhythms…
I give me, all of me, to You.
Stroke me like You Love me..Love me like You need me…just for one night…
A wet rose sliding down my cleavage, my hands encircling your waist, sliding lower…
Reach into the depths of my bruised heart…it’s dark down there. It’s dead…but Love me. Just this night.
Warm tongues probing, searching…entangled rhythms of tales as old as time…withered wishes of worn fairytales
Fingers brush the warm wetness of open thighs…
Breathing heavily on sensitive tips…
An incestuous affair of pain and pleasure…tears glistening on the tips of pubic hairs…please…Love me…if only for one night...
Shadows on a bruised wall…arched backs, breathing in the secret of night
Entangle me in the rich darkness that relaxes my soul
Light, a mirage of a rude awakening….drink deep my bittersweet juices
Sinful traps of sorrowful tunes, Love my lonely lips till thorny crowns hover above a bleeding head
Winding waists…clawing fingers…come inside me…take me slowly…yessss
Be with me, of me, by me…till You becomes Me and Me becomes You in the powerful circle of…Good.
Love me. Just this night
Climax hovers on edges of that sweet, sweet atmosphere…
Grab my hair…breathe in my…you feel so good…
Higher and higher…faster and faster…images, a chorused blur of Love tales, Love tunes…Love me…Just this night Love me
Fantasy meets reality on a purple horizon I’m…Free
