Perhaps i shall call her lotus
cause i see
she’s open only in the darkness of my bedroom
where black lights reflect the night’s brightness in the dark
i see twinkles in her eyes like stars
in night skies

Black lights on white nights
free us from the harsh light of moonbeams
behind my closed blinds
exist
open minds
and cracked windows
allowing fresh air to break and enter into our lungs
as we each inhale the others carbon dioxide
waiting to exhale the taste of
lips
teeth
and tongues
existing in moment
before the morning after
after the night before
we’re dancing
on the cusp
of the impossibly
possible
MY BROWN EYES GET HER OPEN

Only
in that moment
incense smoke dances in her hair
like the finger tips
on afro picks
with the black fist

When we’re free
from public stares
and hair is down
or wrapped up
lies and false selves hold no meaning
arms only hold bodies
when hands grasp truth
darkness sets us free from all eyes
except our own
OUR EYES GET US OPEN

Did you know i can see you in the dark
. . . . . . . . . . . .
i can see your light in the dark
. . . . . . . . . . . .
i want to be the light in the center of your existence
. . . . . . . . . . . .
in the dark
no eyes need see this but your eyes and mine
CAUSE YOUR BROWN EYES GOT ME OPEN

But for now i’m just a slave
to your second sight
a slave to your free mind
open only when Isis’s light fills third eyes
like memories do minds
and words do books
love fills our conversations
about building a nation
and we call that nation family
and in your eyes i see constellations
that r2 fill the night skies
and we call that constellation
“a mothers love”
i want a mother to love my seeds
a mother is to be the first
and best teacher
even as you have been to me

Seems now i’ve studied my-story for a reason
now i can write what was left
hidden
to be found between the unthought of
memories of tomorrows yesterday
i am prepared to write her-story
that is to say
“your-story”
only that other might study and learn what a lotus should be
and this lotus of which i speak
i believe
i shall call her
. . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . .
WIFE
 
PERFECTION.

dedication to the one who holds us--men--who loves us...who opens for us...who is always there for us. BEAUTIFUL DEDICATION.

"i want to be the light in the center of your existence"

THIS SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT YOUR LOVE FOR HER.
