Adunni,
I’m not even sure what the name means
But it sits well on you –
As it brings memories of something sweeter than honey.
Blessed with this sight on a Thursday morning
You’ve gotten me reciting Oriki
And mumbling words in a language I do not understand.
Carefully sculpted with wavy strokes by the hands of the greatest artist
Beauty has found a home in you
You carry the weight of a legion with great strength and poise.
Adunni, your smile lights up my world
I hope mine does the same to you.
****
Adunni,
I can finally say they have ro efo on my head
Your voice awakens the dead poet in me
Will you let me paint you with my words?
We can go back to being just friends after.
Adunni, your body whispers words and rhythms
That sit pretty like the curves on your waist
Just this one time, be my muse
We can go back to the way it used to be after.
Adunni, let me speak my mind this one time
Please don’t look at me with that sultry smile of yours.
Don’t say awwww,
Don’t tell me I’m so sweet.
And you wish all guys were like me.
