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?
