It
was
(extremely)
attractive
blind faith at first sight
the way his knowledge flirted
with my mind
sharing
images of kings and
queens who once
ruled ancient fertile lands

I
understood
(completely)
the language in his eyes understood
(completely)
that spoke of longing for me
to me
his stare
absorbed the vision
of my melanin skin, down to the
lovely beauty he sought within me
gave new meaning to
(loving the skin I'm in)
(loving the skin I'm in)
With
his touch
came a current
through me akin to his touch
came a current
the river Nile
I
felt
the
anointing
of our ancestors
Our
hearts' beat
like hearts' beat
African drums, as our bodies
sacredly bond to
the sound of symbolic
tribal songs
We
became
awaken souls
committed to each other,
nurtured in the
rediscovery of our
culture
