Verbal dreams of midnight coated skin |
Alas my dependency upon my beloved is beginning to leak out through my pores He gazes at the stars outside my windows, and his simpleness makes me so weak I lay my head on his chest every night before I go to sleep Even our arguments are becoming deep Everyone is noticing the change inside my speech Sistahs’ watch my feminism shed into full support of my Strong Regal Man We hold hands while he drives, the way A King and Queen would hold hands riding inside a gold chariot He notices my flaws but is never harsh with his criticism He just calmly states what WE need to work on He is tender a as peaches skin that is softly bitten into allowing the nectar to flow Down my tongue nourishing my parched throat He is as satisfying as the sound of a calm night on the East side All gangsters laid next to baby mama’s worn out by the 1st of the months request for Crack Cocaine and ex pills We are truly lovers, his sweat weaves itself inside of my pores I smell his scent when he is not around Close my eyes and envision his full brown lips saying, “ You gone be home when daddy gets back?” I reply in a girlish manor, “ Yes, Daddy I’ll be home”. |
