Poetry of the DarkChild
Beautiful...
luscious..gentle
strong..soft
bodacious..captivating
illuminating
tall..short..lean..large
shades of dawn
autumn..spring..and fall
happy..sad..good..bad
giving..selfish..nurturing..neglect
sexy..dark..hard..timid

Provocative..innocent..mysterious
explicit..
quiet..loud..naive..wise
patient..irritable..lethargic
reviving...

Majestic..homely..modest..plain
her mood changes..
her mood swings..
nevertheless
the woman is the soul
seeker
keeper
believer
reliever
of life's essence...
"Ebony
Queens"
Where do you find her...
anywhere you choose...
in the suburbs or in the hood...
on TV or watching the screen...
out in front or behind the scene...
in the restaurant being served
or being the waitress with you hors d' oeuvres...

Like bees to honey
she swarms all around you
piercing the virginity of your wisdom...
so you don't have to search
just sniff her aroma as
you wake up in the morning...
open your eyes when you
step out on the street...
ignorance is blind
if you don't see...
the sublime glimmer of
Ebony Queens
