Black Love

Your kiss is a love letter to my heart In bliss receiving with open arms The purple pen you use rights all wrongs Connecting me to you in a soulful song Why is it we struggle within love Embraces double like winged dove We find a feud to be a tarp In an hour or two making love like art If we can find us over vanity See green four leaf clover of sanity Rainbow brushes beneath the waist Passion gushes like water from lake Not defined by lowest denomination Black love in prime a tribal celebration. 11/24/23 Kandle Karen Jones

It is one thing to write about love, it is another to understand what it means on a deeper plane. "If we can find us over vanity" to me that is as plain as plain can be...... warmly A.S.
