It was extremely attractive
blind faith at first sight
the way his knowledge flirted
with my mind, sharing images
of kings and queens who once
ruled ancient fertile lands
I understood completely
the language in his eyes that
spoke of longing for me, to me
his stare absorbed the vision
of my melanin skin down to the
lovely beauty he sought within me
gave new meaning to
loving the skin I'm in
With his touch came a current
through me akin to the river Nile
I felt the anointing of our ancestors
Our hearts' beat like African drums
as our bodies sacredly bond to
the sound of symbolic tribal songs
We became awaken souls
committed to each other,
nurtured in the rediscovery
of our culture
