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. |
