I WAS JUST THINKING OF YOU TODAY
LISTENING TO YOUR VELVET VOICE
CARRESSING MY VELVET SKIN
GOT MY HEAD SPINNING
THESE FEELING ENTICED ME
LIKE COOL ICE
BEING
MELTED OVER MY BODY
ON A HOT SUMMER’S DAY
PROBING BENEATH
MY OUTER SHELL
MASSAGING INTO
MY
INNER
WOMAN
SELF ASSURANCE
GIVING ME
GRATITUDE FOR
LOVE
AND
LIFE
I WAS MEDITATING ON YOU TODAY
TOTALLY FOCUSING ON
YOUR SHEER BRILLIANCE
RESILIENSE
OF
CHARACTER
YOUR CALM AND PLEASANT
AURA
I AM TOTALLY IN AWE
OF YOU
MESMERISED BY THE GOD
IN YOU
WHATSOEVER THINGS
ARE
LOVELY
PURE
GOOD
JUST
AND TRUE
THINK ON THESE THING
I WAS JUST THINKING
OF
YOU

ODE TO A BLACK MAN
FOR THOU HADST TAKEN THE BREATH
OUT OF MY BODY
TIS HARD TO BELIEVE OR CONCEIVE
THAT YOU HAVE BETROVED YOURSELF
TO SPEND YOUR LIFE WITH ME
FOR THOU TOUCHED
AND MY HEART DID MELT AWAY
I AM DARK BUT COMELY
SOLOMON SAID
BUT OH YOUR DARKNESS
MY LOVE
PENETRATES EVEN THE BRIGHTEST
ROOM
YOU COMPLIMENT THE SUN AS
YOUR WELL DEFINED STATURE
BIDS ME TO COME…
SOON

VISION
COVERED IN DETERMINATION TO
UPHOLD HIS POSITION OF
GREATNESS
TIS YOU MY SOUL DESIRETH
BLACK MAN
NOT EVEN THE DRY AND BARREN LANDS
OF OUR HOMELAND
CAN HINDER THY FERTILE SEED
FROM SPRINGING FORTH WITHIN ME
I SHALL BE THY QUEEN
WARRIOR
FIGHTING IN UNISON AGAINST
THE TYRANNIES OF
ABJECT POVERTY
SYSTEMS OF GREED
TOGETHER WE SHALL BE
FEEDERS OF TRUTH AND KNOWLEDGE
PRESERVING OUR HERITAGE
RE-WRITING HISTORY
REMINDING OUR PEOPLE
WHO WE ARE
AND WHAT WE ARE MEANT
TO BE
WHICH IS MORE THAN JUST
FREE……
BLACK MAN

MAKEST THOU ME TO RUN IN HASTE
AT THE SOUND OF THY VOICE
FOR INDEED YOU HAVE CHOSEN WISELY

YET BLESSED
TO KNOW BLACK MAN
TIS YOU I LOVE
AND NO ONE ELSE
