Standing Coins Poem by j mike de prudent

Standing Coins



Standing coins

It is ringing in her ears
Standing a dump as she swallows her spit
She washes her hand from her head to chest
She is in a cold cell of loneliness
In romance Ashake caresses her body
As she thought of him thinking about her
Or what else it can be? Akanni is missing me!
Ohhhhp!
How I wish my Akanni was here
Ashake lost herself in thought of love
Chantinting his name In of appraisal
'Akanni iko, Omo oloruka meji'
'In pretence of love though it may rough there it is smooth'
Maybe he is there tilling the soil
He must be whilistling my name as he toils
May be I cant wait to have him tonight!
Under the Orombo tree when the stars are shinning bright

Alas!the knot of love is a complicate task
The standing coins I see the face that phases me
As the thought of Akanni freezing the heart of Ashake
Same as Akanni is lost in thought of Aduke
Aduke! Not a concubine but a secret lover
Who has a secret lover!

So in pretence and disguise all come to them above
Akanni find Ashake in a stranger hand
And Aduke sees Akanni in stranger hand

So how will the milk split?
If the costmake it stronger
Think of it as good as it is Dearing
When they meet at the heaps of lies
Because of the side of the coins
They find the pleasureat the heaps to sit and lie
