making love to a black woman
is like…
slow dancing
sweating
as she melts on your chest
and drips down your thighs
whipped cream & cherries
sliding down your leg
too fast to lick
her afro/disiac
lips, teeth, tongues
touching, tasting, teasing
in love, in motion
stroking a kitten
purring
stroking
an angel at dawn
skinny dipping
in a pool of icecubes
listening to Duke on the piano
bumping, grinding, singing
imagination music
in the dark
listening to Coltrane
playing his horn on his knees
horn on his knees
horn/knees
horn/y
feeling her body
dripping down your cheek
around your neck
into your soul
feeling her body
merging into your soul
plugging into her
rhythm
planting a rose in heaven
oooooooooooooooh
making love to a black woman
is like…
being born again
