Black man
Vanilla, carmel, chocolate skin
glowing
You taste as sweet as you look
I want to brush my palm against
your smooth baldness
I want to caress your waves
I want to run my fingers through your locks
Eyes, obsidian with joy and
confidence-
No one can touch your spirit
Looking into them I fall into the river
that is you
Arms prepared to enfold me
Hands ready to brush away tears
Chest waiting to feel my weight
lean against you
Your heartbeat finds the rhythm of blood
flowing through my body
You can charm your way into and out of
any little thing
Stride to me with that smile on your face
when you know you done wrong
Soft laugh from deep within your chest
when you know you done made it right...
Lick your lips and say
awwww babygirl...
You make me into your honey
just waiting to be poured
Pull me to you
Kiss my neck
Rub the small of my back
Let your breath touch my cheek…
damn, Black man
You are all I need
