For all black women
Who may feel less secure.
From the apathy and lack of Black Men turning from Clark Kent
Into superman, you might ask where can you turn?
If a black queen can’t find her black king where can she go?
It’s Russian roulette with chess
Yet you’re the strongest piece on the board
You feel unappreciated by the many kings you stand up for
On behalf of them my apologies
The many nights we drive your
Deep rooted emotions into a sea of tears
Filled with shattered bottles that held letters you penned
Of a love you once dreamt admiration we once gave
It’s apparent you miss our praise
I’m rather choked up I often wonder if you still see our worth
Have you given up, loving us? Have you read three stacks of literature?
On the subject have you reconsidered?
Or have you packed your carry on and boarded your flight to another kind of love?
If you wish to explore, fine but don’t be too long
Your black doesn’t crack
I’m feinding and going through withdrawals
Baby I see you
In the front lines
When we should be standing and protecting you
I see you
Your mocha skin
Looking like a double shot of espresso
One dose of your touch
Makes me wake to a better me
Baby I see you
You resemble a rich fine piece of chocolate
Straight out of Godiva
Your demeanor is silk as almond milk
A cup of you is simple and sweet like honey dew
I see you
Miss Butter Pecan
So sweet and sensual
Your candle lit type shade
Though darkness distorts our vision
Your persona lightens up our path
I’m rather insane for you..
I’ll give a lifetime of stability
This life is no good without you
I hope you bask in the glory that sits enthroned in a heavenly place
Sitting still and listening as the angles whisper your name
To the creator about His creation
Your worth is truly in Him
Before you go if you ever choose to leave
Our insecurities cover up what you really mean to thee
We hide behind the glass stain mirror, a distorted picture
Our words are few yet deep down it is you we crave
You’re all we need, so stay…
