African Queen

African Queen
“Just like the sun…lights up the earth, you light up my life”
Words never rang so true about her
For she embodies all that would make any man sink to their knees..
From her ebony skin to her rich full bodied hair…
If her touch was labeled as forever then I have entered the realm of infinity
She possesses that sought after trinity of beauty, brains and personality
And it is that compatibility that draws me to her

“The only one I’ve ever seen, which a smile so bright”
With the uncanny ability to illuminate a room with her beautiful smile while,
Making me feel giddy inside as if I’m a child…damn she drives me wild.
As I think about her I wish I can clutch to her as women clutch handbags
Encapsulating every essence of our experience as if it was our last.

She is African beauty,
That all natural no frills, come as you are, beauty
That “You don’t even need make up or jewelry” to turn heads beauty
That “God broke the mold, when He made you” beauty
If beauty is skin deep then you are close to the bone…
With a style so pure, it is personified by elegance and confidence,
As you gracefully saunter because you know that you are from royalty
She is… my African Queen….

I had a dream

I had a dream...
That it was just me and you alone, as we
Slow danced to the ocean waves as our feet sunk into the sand while,
Staring into each other’s eyes as the crescent moon is our only source of illumination
Etching into my mind this mental illustration, hoping we can stay here forever,
I had a dream…
That Time stood still as if the earth orbits around our memories
Our hearts synchronized in the same cadence as if we were one in the same.
Our love for each other set adrift aimlessly in the right direction
And as I think about this encapsulated moment of perfection
I digress…
Because it was all a dream
I woke up from this dream,
And I realize that it was what it was
Just a figment of my imagination as we
Meet each other in person but we struggle to remember each other’s name...
But I can feel the connection that we would have
If our paths intertwined
If by some strange instance in time you were mine…
But I can only hope….I can only wish…..
But I know that happiness….
Is just a dream away….
