Black Poetry : everything I feel doesn’t always rhyme

[TotalView]

I know I’m not suppose to need you
but I do I need you to hold me
while I drench myself in these tears
feeling lonely and alone
aware you know exactly where and how
to locate that spot that is bruised
so you can apply your love balm
by the tender things you do
like presenting a story of a dozen roses
to someone who loves nature
almost as much as she loves you

sitting here freshly showered
applying cream and butter to my body
visioning it is his hands doing so
my eyes communicating with his
that as One we are never alone
and our kisses are our bond
letting nothing nor any one
interfere with our natural flow
or whatever else it takes
to strengthen our tether forever

I just want to write to you
until you come for me
I just want to dream about you
until there are no more dreams to be had
I just want to lie in your arms
until there is no more space in the universe
I just want to have faith in you
until time has returned to nothingness
I just want to love you
for as long as I can
and you permit me

with you I hope and pray I become
the person God intends for me to be
I feel in my understanding that circumstances
and just some plain folk have attempted
throughout my life to alter
my own perception of myself
of who I am and where I’m from
not knowing it was my search for you
that kept my soul and spirit fit
and my posture strong and erect
while dancing to your exact beat
down the path that takes me to My Him
so that I can love this god with all that I am
forever and ever more

the moon folds as we frolic in the rain
my voice next to yours free to speak
truthfully in the language of courtship,
our thoughts and silhouettes touching
our embroidered emotions and desires
matching and on full display
not afraid to journey wing to wing
with a love designed for us as our feathers
to keep us and stabilize our flight from fear
all our flaws and mistakes left in

**surrounding you in my love**
