He Saw Her

He Saw Her 

He loved her fiercely and with every fiber of his being.

Even when she was like a life taking tsunami. With death blowing winds and crushing rain.

He loved her as if she was simply a gentle, pleasant, spring shower.

He felt for her what others had promised, but failed to keep.

He saw the core of who she was and knew there was nothing more beautiful. 

On Stars and Eyelashes

On Stars and Eyelashes 

Gazing at the night sky, watching the stars come out to play. Catching glimpses of them twinkling. Soft white lights dancing, delicately against a stark backdrop. 

A single star shooting across, triggering the instinct to wish and pray upon it. As always my thoughts immediately turn to you. Wishing upon every shooting star I see. Upon every fallen eyelash. In lieu of wishing for my happiness, my heart prays for yours.  

Lost and Found

Lost and Found 

I love how you make me crave you so.

More than desire your strong hands caressing my frame.

Holding me close as if I'm your most cherished possession.

Needing your lips kissing and teasing my own. Intoxicated on breathing in the air you exhale. Ingesting the sweetness of your essence.

Making me ravenous for more. 

Pawing at you with the strength of a lioness, yet purring like a kitten.

It's magical how you make a moment in time stand still, as the rest of the world spins by in a blink of an eye.

I am lost and found in you.

She

She 

There was no mistaking.

She was pure, honest and beauty
 emanated from her soul.

Her hips naturally swayed hypnotically, with
 beats of drums deep from the Motherland as she walked.

Her skin glowed from the Sun's embrace.

Hair defying gravity, possessing the scent of
fresh coconuts and mangos, ripe from the trees.

Lips full and luscious. 

Fit to sweeten your rooibos tea.

Bold and strong, yet soft and genteel.

Just when you think you know
 her, she surprises you.

She's a warrior in her rite, but
knows she's a lady first.

Sista

Sista

Sista! Oh, sista!

I know your pain.

For we are one.

One in the same.

Sista! Oh, sista!

I know why you cry.

For the tears you shed

are not different from mine.

Sista! Oh, sista!

Embrace me close my dear.

Revel in our joys

and banish of fears.

Sista! Oh, sista!

Your beauty I see.

For we are us and

us are we.

Black Woman

Black Woman 

They tried to knock her down.

But she refused fall.

They tried to bury her.

But like a lotus, she flourished through the dirt and muck.

They tried to burn her.

But like a Phoenix, she rose from the ashes.

They tried to steal her essences.

But didn't realize she was a goddess.

Woman.

Black woman.

Precious gem of the universe.
