Mesmerized
I was mesmerized by her...
Beautiful
Caramel dipped in
seduction
She was what dreams
we're made of
The gaze of her brown eyes
put men in a trace
made souls quake
and hearts dance
she be God's rhythm
Her walk told a story
the switch in her hips
sang lullabies only
the fiber of my being
could hear
her admiration
whispered softly
sapphire lips told truth
made truth sweet
enough to taste
I was hooked
instantly addicted
to the scent of
her personality
I wanted to be
the completion
to her equation
the answer to her
problem
I just wanted to
love her and
reside within her
I knew she loved me
I can feel it in
her smile
and I desired to love
her unconditionally
If only she would let me
Men didn't know
how to love her correctly
only saw her as
hot sex on platters
but to me she was more
They only wanted to
experience her nectar
but I wished to learn her
Study her deep down
to the root of her secrets
She was black girl magic
but her scars called her
little girl lost
That's not the name
she chose to go by
Bent but not broken
she flourish in resilience
as she renamed herself
healed
nickname warrior
for she won the battles
that once stood before her
I was in awe of her...
Strength
made her attractive to me
Made me fall so far
in love with her
that I would rather
lose myself in her
reverie than to
lose her forever
I was drawn to her
like moth to flame
Reeled in
nose open wide
I threw caution
to the wind
and let myself inside her
From this day on
I promised to love
and cherish her
til death do us part
I'm fortunate I found her
never to abandon her
or return her to her
used to be
She has become my everything
because that everything
is now the new me
