I saw it in your smile

And the song we shared

Jamila brought us close

Like two peas in a pod

We spoke like we were

Seated in a downtown

Café, sipping tea and eating

Blueberry muffins

Sharing names of our favourite

Lady poets and

You named a poem:

       Voyeur

Oh the rush I felt

When I listened

To those words

The rush to feel your

Body flushed

Against my own

Two brown girls sinning

As our song played

In the background

         Holy!

But that rush was

Never indulged in

Our connection was merely

Electronic

The current I felt when

I spoke to you was

Just a current

I don't regret you

My holy honeydew

I don't regret

Wishing you were

Naked in a room with me

With the windows wide

Open

Discussing

The matters of love

And queer

The matters of black

And femme

Then kissing

Touching

In front of them

Whoever them would be...

I was fooling around on Tinder and matched with a wonderful girl. Our conversations flowed. I loved the idea of having her but she was too far away and she was in love with another so that blew up in my face.

But anyway she taught me how to truly care for somebody, how to nurture and I'm so proud of how far she's come as a black queer feminist and I'm blessed to have somebody like her to look up to.

Share your stories of women who inspire you. Your stories of queer love. Anything. Just share. ♡
