Tuned Ebony Shades of Ecstasy

 Tuned Ebony Shades of Ecstasy

Here we are—

black as the night;

sable souls singing songs

of Nubian love—slow dancing

on opaque rhythmic nimbus clouds.

Unshackle melodies of generations

flow from charcoal tributaries

slowly undulating—

streaming between ebony sheen banks.

Estuaries of ecstasy splash joyously

into the wetness

of the dark hued sea of our love.

Tuned and harmonized

in the abyss of relief,

fading moans moor themselves

waiting the coming of the next tide.
