Nerve Endings

Man
You remind me
Of Black Love
That old school
Black Love
Like I knew it once before
Or
Like I was born with it innately
That Great Black Love
That smells like
Hair grease and soap
When you're sitting on my lap
Cocoa butter and Strawberry Chapstick
When you're rubbing against my skin
That Black, Black Love Where
Lutha, Anita and Teddy
Play back to back to black
Frankincense and Vanilla candles
Scent the air
As you push your thigh
Between my thighs
And I cup the back of your neck
With one hand
While caressing your waist
With the other hand
Your breasts
Lay heavy on my heart
As I feel you breathe on me
I wanna blow you like a horn
And hear you scream out my name
musically
Give me what you got
Give me you

Woman
You Remind me
Of Black Love
That Sensual Black Love
That grooves through my blood
Blurs my senses
And kneads my body to a purr
That hot summer Black Love
Sneaking kisses on the porch swing
As we escape the heat
That makes us sweat
Drip
Melt
Pool
Our minds into one thought
One feeling
One being
One Love
That Blistering Black Love
Scalding
Branding
Possessive Black Love
That holds you to me
In me
On me
Under Me
With Me
In tandem
In rhythm
In Love
That gripping Black Love
From which I do not want to escape

I can dig that!

Assuage

Through the daunting perils
That is love and sacrifice
I sauntered about
Until I came amidst new ground
Expecting all I've known to disappear
And be replaced by expecting greatness
Or Great Expectations
Greater made by the dandy springing forth
From my face
Intrinsically valuating the merits
Of a life led right
Around the corner from a life led wrong
And yet, we all belong
On the same street of happiness
Where I find myself
Drenched in the downpour of your attention
Of your intention
To bring richness to a pauper spirit
Caught up with shaking his head
At the ways of the world
We're worlds away
But at night, our voices play
For me anyway
Setting parameters around discussion
So as to escape from our escape
And give the world, what we will give each other
A way to be better
A way to build fortresses of Love
Made magnetic by the state of our persons
Or, better still, our personalities
We touch down like tornadoes
Leaving peace in our wake
I awake. . .you awake
This isn't a dream
Our actions, now have meaning
I am better
For relating to you
Assuage

Pure (An Homage)

I looked out my work window today
And saw the cascading fall of raindrops
Cleanse the Earth of all that was past
Refresh the character of those awaiting new
And I immediately thought of you
Sleeping
Dreaming
Breathing
Hoping
Looking for brighter days
You are the Earth after it rains
Now that the rain has stopped
I see you everywhere
