(My Reply to One Man's Response to the question of Should I Love A Sista)
His skin filled with melanin
Shades of honey
A henna man
Darkened like a midnight sky
Should I love a Brotha…?
Like any other
Would be
Could be
Worthy of a Onyx Queen’s Eye
Our dreams can’t deny
God’s Infinite love
Together-We rise above it all
We never fall-We fly-We soar
In his eyes
Heaven’s doors open wide
He put deep sighs in my chest
His breath takes mine away
Remembering why I pray
Asking each day….
Should I love a Brotha…?
Nappy edges calling me home
His Africaness roams in his kiss
His thickness-His Spiritness
He makes our ancestors smile
Takes me Black awhile
His style be soul food
Interludes of cheese grits
Chicken wings
Fried-Baked-Smothered
A Brotha is an insatiable thing
Like cool sips of Kool-Aid
Even on a hot day
A Brotha is always cool
Sometimes, he be cold as ice
Make s you wanna think twice and ask
It’s a hellava’ task
But…
Should I love a Brotha…?
In his Kingly Knightness
I simply know this
The only answer is
He is all I’ll ever need!
Should I love a Brotha…?
As your Sista
Your lover
Your friend
Til’ this earthly end
The answer could only be…
Indeed.
See,
I love you My Brotha
Now,
Should you be questioning loving Me?
