Alani

by @Wordsmith

Alani Name of thunder sealed in silk Where the sky wrote secrets in ancestral ink Born not just of womb; but of word A name that prays; that pierces; that’s heard I wear my name like woven pride From the paths of prophets my fathers stride Ala ni... we own the gold of grace Even the gods give way to my face Alani; okunrin to n sun aaro meta Man who dreams thrice before the dawn breaks better my heart; a palace of praise my lips; psalmed with poetic blaze I am the whisper of warriors... the witness of winds A woven will where wisdom begins My name is a proverb; passed through fire Still glowing bold like ancestral choir Call me "not common"; I come from core From palms that plant; from prayers that pour I walk in wealth they cannot weigh My name is a drumbeat that kings obey Alani I walk like myth; breathe like song Even the moon hums my name all night long my steps... sermons on sacred sand my fingers... scrolls from spirit’s hand I am power; pulse; poise and plan From woven whispers of ancient man Let the world know when they call me in,... They summon a storm with a royal grin To love Alani is to love a seasonless spring To touch him is to wake everything The stars wore envy the night I'm kissed By fate; by grace; or a lover’s mist I am a spirit wrapped in skin The holy hidden... deep within A mystery only God decodes Yet a comfort where love’s river flows So let the world remember this Alani is not a man alone; he’s bliss He’s a poetry; a portal; a praise on feet Where romance; reverence; and reign all meet
