Black Love |
I don’t want to chill |
but I keep getting these tracks |
so I ease back |
and breathe raps |
like a slow burn |
meditative |
contemplative |
I say it’s prayers |
I know it’s many layers |
when music hits |
it can leave craters |
far enough away |
you could see a face in it |
mask or an image |
I’m tracing the imprint left |
and never get it quite correct |
it’s just a breath |
on the nape of your neck |
at best |
we all long to connect |
like spirit and flesh |
with no restrictions |
it’s not about sex |
but could be too |
i want to stand in my truth |
naked and bare |
totally cared for |
sacred and rare |
with a nature to share |
some can’t handle the glare |
and that’s fair |
i am daring |
can be too much |
i don’t rush |
maybe i’m not easy to love |
or i set myself up |
with high expectations |
that no one can touch |
but i feel it in friendships |
feel it moments |
and feel beautiful |
when i am seen in wholeness |
a sensuality that i believe my home is |
but some days |
i still feel homeless |
even in my own house |
so i get out |
and dream as loud |
as my body can project |
unprotected |
vulnerable |
respected |
feared and admired |
but rarely met |
we are all at our best when connected |
just watch for sharp edges |
when involved with reflection |
Black love |
i don’t gotta explain too much |
my folks got my back |
like no one does |
something bout loving you in our native tongue |
opens up possibilities |
and heals where i’m from |
i love the way my name feels in your mouth |
i hope i hold yours as delicate and proud |
i wonder if the ancestors smile when they see us |
something bout your happiness feels like freedom |
Black love. |
