Short Smoothened Poems

The one who dipped his hands in the till
Adventurist misdemeanour discovered
That waywardness create no anxiety
We smoothened ruffled feathers

We found our mind and heart tranquil 
To be truthful we surprised ourself
But why not forgive and forget
Love is God’s healing elixir...

To town,
from town.

Clay patta, 
saffron civara.
Smoothened walking stick,
the companion of the unlonely
alone.
Downhill,
uphill.

Through clouds,
through fog.
Soles worn,
robes tattered.

Wake, rise...
Weary, rest...

This flesh, in truth,
the begging bowl
we each were issued....

felon fiery flames
squashing salient traits
spent emotions shrunk 
smoothened per trunk
fallen by gaze
birthed by rave

ensconced ember etched
feelings fuel fetched
damped desire's death

smiles scrunching seeps
sans struggling splits
scattering side screams

Adejoke Oun Wunmi
I love you!!!

concentric circles clouds 
mushy mists growl
tainted tarred twain
epileptic ensconced spray
rustic rims raved
adapting aura's aid

mystic mood swung
lurching lousy lust
taming torpedic tongue

callous Cherub called
vile veins' gores
dripping damped draws

scrunched syllables smoothened
haggard hierarchy heightened.

Hideous hank hoisted
smoothened scrunched sculpted 
tactic turn twisting 
scared surges skipping 
smithereens into span
contracted turbulent trance

vile vibed passion
inflected per punctures 
birthed by seizures

damped draws drooping 
growling gaunt gaiety 
lanky lust lurching 

ensconced eyes envisaged
weary lids wakes.

reviving rusts revamping 
frolic feigning feasts
damped desires drooping 
mystic mists moaning 
puked passion plying 
tactic tier tucking 

sour scrunched smoothened
pleasant parks heightened 
dark dances darkened

fiery flames simpering
mocking mystic mists
towering; twigs twisting 

archaic aura blending 
brooding base bleeding.

I burst forth
From the womb of earth
A thin trickle
Rain’s foster child
With every shower
I grew in size
I sped through rocks
And gnarled roots wide
I smoothened stones
I caressed grass
I paved my way in gushes and splash
I frothed and foamed
As I jumped and danced
I swirled and whirled
Around reeds and sand
I know not 
How long I will be
So every moment
I celebrate me....

The moderate warmth,
and its attendant
humid air,
rising mild temperatures
on smoothened sands.
Tilting towards the warm
showers of the tropical sun,
and basking on the tranquil
beach, I enjoy a sunbath.
With my sunscreen lotion,
applied gently on my soft
and beautifully tanned
Scandinavian skin,
I warm up for the
forthcoming global annual
beauty competition
in the land of the flying
fish....

What if all hope was lost
The frightened child never comforted
The desperate suicidal teen toes gripped on the riverbank
Broken splintered lives eager for the end
i look deep into the abyss as it falls into me
No one knows i have no hope
I walk amongst the dead shadows
My pretence on my face
Inside upon a smoothened rock 
Spot light from above
crushed and withered
hope crumbles and carried on the wind 
is gone...

sometimes it so happens
love knocks on icy hearts 
and is cold shouldered

in timeless time jagged rocks
are smoothened by the river’s flow
love employs no force

unconscious souls 
yet rooted in animal nature
appear cloaked in human form

the indwelling spirit
is the same within all
only coordinates differ

there’s neither judgment nor shame
the sunlight continues to stream
on all life without prejudice

Take me Samantha
I beg you,
to your flourishing abode
within the idyllic shores of
Barbados.
To the smoothened sands
of the placid beaches of
Bathsheba, for our
deep romantic adventure
and ecstatic surfing.
A split second with you
in the land of the flying fish,
would no doubt be a lifetime
to remember.
As we bask beneath the caribbean sun,
amidst the pride of Barbados,
with a flourish, your smile would
usher me deeper into your world....
