Impulse
Brilliant brown vibes curl around my neck,
drop down my spine and embrace my ribcages,
I am one holding the night
and command its flow to linger
with anticipation.
Believe, the beauty of this woman
is a symphonic landscape on my velvety imagination,
I follow her aromatic shadow
down the steamy corridors of my soul.
Dark skin, I worship the hands
that molded you from the inside of your mothers womb.
Ancient bone of the Ashanti tribe,
seedling of the Luba tree,
your fruits shall be forever sweet to the southern palate.
You illuminate the present better than stars
light up the heavens,
I hold the night, you bring the glow.
