Black Poetry : flesh

[redlady]

you are flesh
beautiful flesh, dark flesh
tattooed flesh
dress well, smile flash
locked inside lust
feelings, ink and skin

content with
promises and desires
tastes and smells
touch and passion
you serve it
worship it
honor it...flesh

dealing with you is
dealing in flesh
bondage ties and it’s tight grip
emotional, turbulent
mind altering, brain damaging
pass me the anti-depressants
because sin has made me crazy
lost in your touch and your sex
flesh

i have chosen spirit
i have played and gambled and lost
now i have chosen spirit
i turn from the flesh
i glimpse you walking
coat pulled tightly
a chill in the air
beneath your clothes
muscles moving with taut precision

i close my eyes to flesh
i open my heart to spirit
i feel the release from the grip
the hold, the tightness...

you tell me there is no such thing as darkness and light
i have seen too many movies
no, i have seen too much reality
i choose spirit
i choose faith
i still see you
but i am free
