When you place your lips upon me
My heart beats like the thundering drums of Africa
Echoing through my torso –
A hallow shell – empty
Save for this heart
Reaching through foreign ancestry
To grab the lustier creature lurking inside of me
I meditate on your stature – strong
I crave you
Not just physical beauty but the mental intricate workings
Of your cerebral artistry
Your soul sings
Like the erotic serenade of crickets
Seeking companionship in the thicket of lush green
You grace me with your being
Standing upright eclipsing my eyes like
Sun and moon embracing in the shadow
Defacing my previous preconceived fantasies
That falls short of thee
How many times can I loose myself within your caress?
And savor each intimate tryst that sparks and glint
Like a firefly kiss that ignites with pure chemistry
Creating a chaotic emotional symphony
Bringing envy to mythical Eros
Yet represents our reality
Sweet man of mine
Lay thy hand upon my quivering cheek
Folding under your touch like a forlorn rose
Upon its last petal weak
As feeble as an angel falling with wounded wing
I realize how blessed I am among women
To live this fervent dream of lovers resurrecting magic
Each morning with a mere kiss
And each night in pure bliss
I long for eternity my ebony prince
Please grant me this
