My 'Fro

Dark as the midnight sky
She stands tall and proud
She's sexy & thick
Standing out in the crowd

Ignoring the haters
She knows that she's cute
Embracing the motherland
Staying true to her roots,

"Pure envy," she laughs,
"And I feel their pain,
There was a time, when I too,
Used to run from the rain."

"But my coils are like curves,
And flirtatious winks are my kinks.
They are a blessing from above."
My fro is sexy, don't you think?

One Year Ago Today

One year ago today as I got dressed,
I knew that day would be my best;
That day you professed your love to me
We were married for time and eternity.

One year ago today you held my hand,
with tears in my eyes I wore your band;
You kissed me once, I kissed you twice
My God, your lips never felt so nice.

One year ago today we sang and we danced,
Mesmerized by passion, intrigued by romance;
Hypnotized by love, no one else I could see
"You're all I need," you sang to me.

One year ago today our love became one
The journey to paradise, we've only just begun.

I Am A Woman (unfinished)

I am a woman.
I love and I nurture.
From my womb
Born is the future.
From my breasts,
You know, the ones you caress,
and so is it fed.
I am a woman.
I'm soft and I'm gentle.
Complicated you say?
Cuz you can't understand my mental
when I say it is okay
but I feel another way.
Confused you say?
I am a woman.

Jealous Much?

Look at my skin
Smooth and brown
You say that brown is the color of dirt
Are you jealous?
I am PROUD of my brown
The color of mother earth
The foundation of all life

Look at my hair
Beautiful and Powerful
You say that it is nappy
Are you jealous?
I am PROUD of my coils
Commanding respect, my fro compliments
My dark skin and my thick lips

Look at my body
Big and sexy
You say that I am fat
Are you jealous?
I am PROUD of my endless curves
My full breasts and my wide hips
My thick waist and voluptuous thighs

Look at me
I am a Black woman
Strong and proud
Are you jealous?

Happy Valentine's Day

See what I did with two of my poems here!

3 Kisses

1 love,
2 people,
3 kisses.

1 woman captured the eye of
1 man.
1 man won the heart of
1 woman,
1 lust, 1 crush, 1 bond, 1 union.
Now, always, and
4 ever.

Love led 2 paths,
2 pasts,
2 now. Let love lead
Our present 2
1 Future
2gether.

3 kisses,
2 people,
1 love.

This poem was inspired by the three kisses me and the hubz exchange every morning before parting ways. It used to be just one kiss like normal people, but somewhere between engagement and marriage , it jumped to 3 kisses. I like to think of each one kiss standing for the past, present, and future. I always know when something is amiss or needs to be addressed in our marriage if I only get one or two kisses.... I think, "Where's my kiss for our future?"
