Black Woman

I will never forget you. Bus. Beautiful. Walk home
The feeling. The travelling. Your aura. Bomber lady

From London to Paris. A way to Budapest. By bus
Oh, the night landscape was so nice. Friend the glass

Amazing. I love. I loved. Enjoyed. Her honest life
She said, Can I sleep? I watched her. Black woman.

I didn’t say anything.  She leaned into my lap. Woman
Beautiful. Womanly lady. Perfect shape. Black. African

This happened in the last seats. Right was the side
Oh, beaten, my heart. But I didn’t get the love. Hmm

I didn’t want. No. I don’t do that with a woman. Slept
Sleepy was. This woman. I felt her for my baby. Girl

Young. Young child. Hmm. Hmm. She was a mature
Whole. Perfect. Not a lady. The woman. The wished

Hmm. I was happy. Very. A lady came to me. Doesn’t
Matter her nationality. Hmm. She was honest. Lovefully

We travelled to Paris. She needed sleep. A hand. Love
Daughter. Nice lady. I loved. Her. Magnetic. A black diamond

The bus arrived. A beautiful black lady slept on me. She gone
Hmm. Get off. She. Then I. Yes. I stayed alone. No woman

I watched her. She walked far. The bus driver smiled. I was sad
Hmm. No woman again. Left. I needed. Her. Dream. I believed

A life
A new
I needed you

Hmm
Black diamond
You walk far
Black Woman
A style

I will never forget you
The heart
I respect
Always
You
