Interracial Love Poem

Love knows no color
we love with our heart
loving without barriers
we write with our soul
therefore we are artists...

this is a poem
about interracial love
sit back and read it
and learn like Aesop's fables...

She is dark like the night
I am bright as day
when we are together
we create a radiant light..

She the dark ebony princess
dark against my ivory skin
contrasting the shades of our bodies
we marinate in reality's dreams
stapling our color together
a passion that takes us
to forbidden exotic places...

Our color entangles within our arms
we dance in meadows taboo
we kiss in the soft tall grass
crushing daisies with our naked bodies..

 we speak bliss and love with our tongues
a language not even her African ancestors would understand
creating magic in our stolen moments
as our bodies yearn to satisfy the other..

Elders before us roll over in their graves in anguish
surprised a love so sacred and eternal
this bridge between two souls
perhaps could be too painful to witness...

My body electric to her brown crescent moon figure
sparking as i caress with vanilla fingers
into any crater that can  be found
satisfying the insatiable desires of our shadows..

After long afternoons of tongue and touch
we find safety in our refuge
laying in the ruins of our forbidden pleasures
so snug and serene in our exotic jungle...

Robin Davis November 10, 2013 at 12:48 PM Ken This is a powerful and honest write. Full of sensuality, love, truth and thought. I agree. Love should never be judged by color, sex, disability or anything else. If you love someone, nothing else matters.

Kim Van Breda October 8, 2013 at 9:14 AM Brilliant !! Erotic, yet embracing a topic that for some reason is still questioned. As you say .. we love with our hearts, and love is not skin deep. Just by the way.. our church Pastor is married to what he calls his "Chocolate Princess" :) Ken Carroll October 8, 2013 at 10:00 AM Hi Kim, Thanks for your wonderful visit. Ken
