My Latest Love Poem ...

IN LOVE, WITH ALL MY LOVE …

Have You Ever Been In Love With A Black Man Who Loves You Back,
Man
Let Me Say That Again
Have You Ever Been In Love With A Black Man Who Loves You Back,
Man
He Dots Your I’s
You Cross His T’s
Make A SISTA Wanna Say
Please, Baby, Baby, Please

Every time I Close My Eyes
I Think Of The Most Admirable Man Alive
He’s The Ultimate High
The Ultimate Reason Why
I
Do
What He Wants Me To

Have You Ever Been In Love With A Black Man Who Loves You?
He Into You
Feeling You
Touching You
He Listens to You
Pays Attention to You
Respects Your Point of View
Preparing Himself To Say “I Do”

Have You Ever Been In Love Like That,
With A Black Man Who Loves You Back?
Promises To Shower You With Diamonds And Silks And Gold
To Build Monuments For You
Statues Of You
Takes Kingdoms And Gives Them To You

And For Him,
You Do
Whatever
His
Heart
Desires
You Keep His Love Warm With Your Tempered Fire
And With Every Seed He Sows
You Give Him Back 10-Fold
The Love Never Grows Old
It Just Grows …
And Grows And Grows And Grows And Grows And Grows

More Beautifoel
Than A Garden Of Flowers
Taller Than The Tallest Towers
More Fresh Than An April Shower
I Mean, You Get The Picture Of What I’m Sayin
To Be In Love With A Black Man That Ain’t Playin
You Breathe Out As He Breathes In
And There’s No End
To A Love Like That
When You In Love With A Black Man Who Loves You Back,
Man
