Notes About The Poem

Standing On a Foot and a Knee

Executing my pace to destiny with an added pair of legs makes it a perfect symphony the long queue of my aspirations and visions will translate into reality by passing through the doors of your views. Your focus, ideology and belief, nothing more I expect corresponding to mine, like a lock and key that I respect. One can expertly execute, but two will effectively deliver every bridge has two ends and no coin has just one side. Little wonder! The body’s functionality naturalizes in pairs. the limbs, eyes, ears and lungs; even the mouth, nose and the brain house anatomically paired contents. This rounded finger-loving element just confirms our steady Life’s movement. My mind rings with an uproar of oceans but not anointing that finger becomes my dreadful superstition. Now! Let’s honour the “pair-religion” as I… Stand on a foot and a knee, engaging you with the popular line “Will you marry me?”

This is stunning work Funom. Loved the analogies of the "coupling" in the penultimate stanza and the line "but not anointing that finger becomes my dreadful superstition." Well crafted and quite poetic! Keep a'writing, my friend!
