Beauty of the African women
Not just the eyes lens
It's colour;
Her lips
Regal neck
Fragile collar bone...
Stunning
Breath taking
Beauty is in the eyes of thy beholder
If you let me
I'll hold you Aries
My eyes will be your mirror
Words can't express
A mere "I love you"
You are much more than I have heard
Much more than you see
A magnificent diamond indeed
Let me hold you ?
Comfort your cheek with my palm
Breaths intertwined
Bodies warmest
Tie me to your tongue my love
Nma my love
Aries black
An ancient beauty
Africa's black woman
The absolute love of my life
Rhythm to my words
Blues in my voice
Words made
Words to come
Words I want to say
Words can't describe you
Words can't show them

My Aries black
Stubborn as heck ~ that's me
She was born an Aries, which meant fire lived in her before she had words for it. As a child, that fire had to learn how to hide. She learned how to smile while fighting wars no one else could see. She learned that silence was safer than telling the truth. The universe did not protect her then. People crossed lines they knew were wrong, and she carried it like fate, like the pain was written somewhere above her and she was meant to endure it. She grew up questioning her body, her identity, and whether what was done to her had rewritten who she was allowed to be. She loved boys, but she no longer trusted herself. Aries is not built to stay still. Fire is not meant to be contained.Hers survived by waiting. There were years she lived half-alive, orbiting fear, calling survival a life. Then something shifted. Not in the sky, but in her. She realized the stars did not choose her suffering. They only gave her the strength to walk out of it. She is still here. Still fire. Still standing.

I ask myself
what I want,
as if the veteran
doesn’t long
to return
to the battlefield
March me into the wilderness
of your body
suffocate me
with your hot breath
burn me with your heat
suppress me
with your arms of fire
run me ragged
make me climb the mountain
of your being
I long for the war
to want me back
for the fight
to burn for me
for once,
for all
I want you to conquer me,
god of war
Young and naive, she fell for an Aquarius,
over time he grew nasty and quite nefarious..
A little later came her next heart pang.
He was a fiery Aries man.
With time his habits she just couldn't stand.
A long-term lover and definitely the nicest
was a very sensitive and nurturing Pisces.
Our hearts collide in this universe,
sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.
Look at their planets, and study their stars.
Were they influenced by Jupiter or perhaps Mars?
Consult an astrologer, develop a plan, and look
at the stars whenever you can.
Settle this score,
Once and for all.
Murder
or Make Love
I haven't quite
Decided.
Or perhaps
Neither.
Terrified,
Tortured
Aries.
Do I
Destroy Myself to
Rip off your
Mask of masculine apathy,
Of Denial of your
Maker?
Astonishing self-assured warrior.
Rough acts entail his mettle and intrepidity.
Idoneous healer, he uses dauntlessness.
Effervescent, impulsive optimist, he is a torchbearer.
Self-confident, he is socially skilled and insightful.

A dark night on the 4th day of April,
Rising in the East waxing crescent moon,
In a room they heard a little voice cry,
Enters the world another life, that’s me!
So began my journey! Oh Lord, thank thee!

Aries
husband, father, doctor, and cricketer,
Lover of poetry, photography, music,
in a World divided by arrogance, ignorance and greed!
Dream of a world without borders, of happy children without starvation,
I fear world is consumed by prejudice, selfishness and lacks wisdom,
I am a devote friend, a romantic lover, a committed dad,
My magic wand would sprinkle happiness to all, smash grief like a battering
Ram!

Say a prayer for me sweetheart,
Be my salvation in the darkened night-
For you’ve been my light since the start,
Yes, that brilliance shining so utterly bright.
I need not the shadows lingering in mist,
Just the hope I bestow as I reminisced.
You bring me a soft beautiful sight,
As an Aries and Capricorn kissed.
March 25, 2019
was it last night I saw the stars realign,
where Aries and Capricorn became one
constellation-
where brilliance of glittering blue shined
like the renowned hope diamond had
shattered and scattered across the milky way,
only existing for love’s rediscovery-
I think it was.
was it this morning that I awoke from
a cosmic dream where two lovers redeemed
their love that had fallen from God’s grace-
I think it was.
for there is galaxy of reveries awaiting us,
my sweet-
where echoes of chimera revelations are
encompassed and held onto for safe keeping
so that one day we can embrace our true destiny.
is it you that makes my soul shine brighter a supernova?
yes...
I think it is.

Aries must learn danger with their own toddler test.
Taurus grasp emotions from the feel in their chest.
Geminis wish for words hearers clearly digest.
Cancers thrive in a neat, loving family nest.
Leos strive to lead infused with praise about their best.
Virgos shelve their dreams for duties that sternly pest.
Libras view couple love as perfect life's peak crest.
Scorpios forget naught, hiding all in mind's vest.
Sag needs outdoor adventure per their soul’s request.
Capricorns need for perfection is not a jest.
Aquarians hear their own drum and march with zest.
Pisces bear any news without shock or unrest.
