Aduni Poem by Asaolu Abayomi

The potter set out to work
Gathered more than enough to create
Water is not left out
Softening the hardest clay he gathered
His apprentice got the fire ready
Shrugging off all distraction
An image of a life time is in process
All inconclusive works remain Pending

The blacksmith joined in preparation
Hammering the iron to fit in
The bald looks rough
From there came the most beautiful creation
A vessel to admire
A steel to be proud of

Aduni
A glamour of gold
Shining brighter than Sun
Beaming brighter than light
From afar darkness
From near a gold
Black lightening darkness

Inner beauty
Peaceful in all
Your teeth even the snow respects
Your body charcoal bows for
Your two standing breasts cost eternity
Your hip is confusing
Your straight legs the ray envy
Wonder how much your womanhood

Her beads are special
Her neck glowing
Her hands shaking
Without music her waist making rhythm
Her soft hands
I long to rub my back
Even if I be a ship
No doubt I will wreck

My heart beat for joy
Just like the John inside Elizabeth
My body leaped in joy
When Aduni came calling
The Potter made his best
The blacksmith offered his greatest
Aduni is peace
Aduni is perfect
Aduni is me
