The Strong B.B.W.

Her skin....
The smell of jasmine in the brisk sun 
as her body perspires in the warm sunlight

Her Hair....  
Strength. Long medium brown soft lucious 
like the color of a licoris stick
the smell of olives and the faint smell of honey 
as she washes the shampoo from it

Her Lips....
Full the sweet the taste of peppermint
soft like the morning breeze
lucious as a ray of sun
from the light red lip gloss she wears

Pride....
She lives for it
The strong broad walk 
Her head held up high to the sky
The presence of her step
The firmness of her back as she moves
The Look of power as she strides
The feirceness in her arms

THE STRONG BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN

The Dreaming Burning Heart

Harmlessly on a search one day 
Our paths crossed 
Looking into your eyes met 
I began to faint 
I started to dream 
As the fire started to burn in my heart
I came across a moment in time
where once A pleasant meal 
And yearning for you to walk through the door
Upon a candle lit dinner 
Appetizers of chocolate hearts
Strawberries and white wine
Light meal of chicken cheese soup
Then the fire lit even more into my heart...

As the flames cleared and the smoke settled
I see us sitting in a long green meadow
white silky cloth with cheese and crackers
I take the water and pour it in my warm hands
I caress your feet and give them a nice passionate massage
You lie in my arms and we look into the sky
The wind blows a white dove into the weeping willow tree
I watch you as you gently close your eyes 
The chill as the goose bumps form on your arms
I grab your hands and pull you close to the burning heart of mine
The flames grow larger now 

The voices in my head believes that Love is there
and before I know it
The words come out my head
and slip down to my tounge
and they come out with fierceness
My heart melts for you in pure passion
And as I awaken 
I only feel Pity 
For it was just a dream
And as I glimpse you walk past me
For a moment 
I Dreamed a dream
Of love
Dont let the fire go out
