Black Man

Thank you for loving me patiently, caringly, kindly

Please do not cease caressing me with your kind words

Baby… I like… how you call me to you

With your eyes, body, spirit, and soul.

I respond to you with all of me

Nothing will I withhold

Hold me close to you

Your heart beat sings to me

Your embrace fits me perfectly

Let me stay a little while in tune with you and me

The world stops

Frozen

While your love touches me intimately

I look up as your beauty your eyes wash over me

Baptized

Truth is I loved you the first time I saw you walk by

Like water.. tall dark African Prince… refreshing

Delicate

Like a dream and you touched me with your words

Embraced me with your look

 

Black Woman

Black Woman…

Stand and see the curves of the Sahara desert reflected back at you

The sparkle of the night stars in your eyes

Shine! Shine!

For your DNA is to be celebrated like the horizon in the morning sky

Shine! Shine!

For your genetic code unfolds like the beauty of a million sunsets illuminating the sky

Shine! Shine!

For thus you were created to reflect the glory of thine Maker who is Light
