Morning Moments(I love)

Empty Words

Little did she know

The sweet nothings he whispered

Were exactly, that

Behind Closed Doors: A Haiku Series #3 & Conclusion

Invisible bars

Of willing participant

Codependent life

A lifetime sentence

Only they are capable

Of extinguishing

Behind Closed Doors: A Haiku Series #2

Black eyes hid behind

Rosy colored sunglasses

Hope, where there is none.

Inescapable

Even with distance

Our chemistry still reacts

Let's quit fighting it.

Behind Closed Doors: A Haiku Series #1

Though they are silent

Their tear trails tell vile stories 

Of abusiveness 

Alliance...A Haiku

I'm your reflection

The shadow you can not shake

She, who shares your skin

Awaken Souls...

It was extremely attractive

blind faith at first sight 

the way his knowledge flirted 

with my mind, sharing images 

of kings and queens who once

ruled ancient fertile lands

I understood completely 

the language in his eyes that 

spoke of longing for me, to me

his stare absorbed the vision

of my melanin skin down to the 

lovely beauty he sought within me 

gave new meaning to 

loving the skin I'm in

With his touch came a current

through me akin to the river Nile

I felt the anointing of our ancestors

Our hearts' beat like African drums 

as our bodies sacredly bond to 

the sound of symbolic tribal songs

We became awaken souls

committed to each other,

She and Her Love Poet

She felt 

the rythum of 

his verse

Every 

sensuous syllable 

against her canvas soothed 

her inhibition  

Eagerness 

to experience the way 

wordplay on his lips 

she could never resist 

his kisses

Uniquely 

he chanted 

over generous curves 

explored deep in valleys where 

her inspired warm stream creatively

engaged his

He reveled in 

peaked mountains 

and laid claim to exotic lands 

fertile with her desire to be written

into the history of 

his love poems

In His Eyes, I Saw Me

Love stood before me,

Tall and confident. 

Untarnished, by superficial 

tendencies birth into society. 

Magnificent, in his

ability to remain true.

Love stood before me, 

Admiring flaws Of Unique 

beauty 

Without

a single word, or

Touch

Love stood before me.

Reflecting deep desire, 

that pooled in his eyes 

...and

I have never seen 

a more beautiful, 

reflection of me

Bodies...

Even though, 

she could see "for the meantime"

lurking in his eyes

And her heart recognized 

his words, "I love you" 

as a lie

She 

swallowed them 

like candy coated truth

Because...

It 

meant 

more to her to have 

anybody's body by her's

than to be without 

somebody

His 

'goodbye' 

was unspoken, but 

written 

all-over-her-body 

He had cum and gone

And... 

once again 

Somebody, had her body

And she had

nobody

...but her own
