Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Romanticism

Darkie Me Shy

Can she see
the beryl words I keep
hidden inside?

Precious words I want to say,
but I’m too
darkie me shy

I cover my cocoon feelings
with an awkward “hi”
Whenever she Madame butterfly
	      passes by

I love how she gives me
a bright smile 
with her beautiful eyes

Makes jade heart 
	no want to be
so darkie me shy
	
Oh, how I love
her candlelight eyes

They shine forest green,
    at dawn sunrise

This lovely morning,
I overheard her name
for the first time ...

Today, me going to tell her mine

And hope that our lives
	can become 
           as one Divine

Oh, how I love
her halo radiant eyes

They glow          sky emerald
in the evening twilight

Going to let her see
the tears of joy
kept bottled up inside

Shower her with love ...
give a kimono kiss no goodbye

Rainbow light 
every evergreen lantern 
in Tokyo tonight

Watch the glowing teardrops
brighten the harbor sky

Let her see the Sol fire passion
	  when doves cry

Then there be no aurora soul 
reason why
to stay darkie me shy
