Spineless

untitled (ode to black love)

untitled (ode to black love)

today the sky was pregnant with promise
promise of restoration, of rebirth
of new life
I could feel your presence in the dark, beauty of the heaviness
your love is the essence of it all

a train rumbled past in the distance and the ground beneath my feet shook
the sky opened, letting out a wail, and I was wiped clean
all I want is to be in your arms
tucked away in your warmth
I sprinted home with your honey, brown eyes in mind

you led me to bed as soon as I arrived
stripping me of my soaking clothes
heating me with your body
pressed your love into me until I'm consumed in your flames, you center me but I still felt myself ascending

my love makes you feel like a man
your intimacy reminds me I'm all woman
the revolution happens when I'm in your arms
when our lips meet
loving you feels like someone's burning sage inside of my heart

you deserve to be marveled
your waters are pure, your forbidden fruit is sacred
my tongue is the gospel and this is the rapture
this love makes my soul erupt in flames
if this is my hell, I never want to leave

this sentence feels like paradise
feels like gasoline being poured inside of me
heat pools in the pit of my stomach
the life source drips from between my legs when you're inside of me
then you drink from it

I feel renewed, like I've been wiped clean
let me bathe you in my waters
let's make music with our love
an orchestra of sound
fingers pulling strings -- fingers pulling hair
gliding slowly over pleasure places
cool fingers creating a sweet note
Welcome Home
