My Kind of woman: A valentine in words

She is graceful like a ballet 
peaceful like the violin 
well spoken like words 
and her beauty is penned in figurative lines
that reveal the artistry 
of her creators stencil.
Her figure and curves 
are calligraphycally exotic,
like a pencil
her smile shades away tears 
that endless years of blue and black 
have collected.
In her eyes is the suns beautiful glare
into which when i stare
my glory is reflected
for like a crystals glare 
the best about me 
she brings out and bears.
Her faith is strong,
elegantly unmatched,
it's the bone that collars my neck.
She touches me 
and heals my wreck.
Her cotton soft hands
laced in pearls of love
strum my efforts with joy
and when I drown in rivers
they wrap around me in faith.

She makes the stars shine brighter
and her smile adds an 'er to the words; 
sexy,
and pretty,
prettier than all other
oh what a cutie.
The skin that sleeves her hands 
simply is; to touch, soothing.
Calming, relaxing,
are the words she airs,
she dispenses them with glory
intelligently sophisticated 
and yet no ounce of pride.

My Joy, My kinda woman
                                                        Woman by window: patent place
whose soulfulness 
moves my body 
to the rhythm of her blues,
whose pulse is the tempo 
to which my heart dances.
My kinda woman 
who has hands
and is willing to use them
and still respect me as her man,
guide and provider.
Whose occupation not need be a chef
but handles her business well enough
it keeps me wanting more
no precautions about concoctions 
just pure satisfaction.

whose warmth not only radiate
from the silky smooth 
and beauty
of her ravishing nakedness,
what unharmed pulchritude
that so delicately keeps me insatiable
it's awing effect
like a butterfly out its cocoon,
but  also from knowing 
I wake beside the grandmother
of my childrens' children
and her infinite beauty
even in they yet unborn.

I know what you're selling 
and I'm very happily buying
you're such a beautiful conundrum
i hear drums sounding immaculate
it's my heart beating
to the tune of your love.
So I'm testing this river with both feet 
walking on flaming coal
to place all my eggs in a basket
at your door,
open your heart 
and let trust be the bridge
between the gaps of our heart
and love the screw
that keeps 'em together...

Love you this valentine and beyond...

What Do You See?


I see;
a forest of trees, that bleed away
hundreds of growth years
as they are felled and cut.
As their barks are sanded,
fined and mashed to a pulp,
and bleached,
sun dried and cut again
to the satisfaction of mans gain
worried only about the papers grain
too thin and wide would bleed out ink
bright and slippery,
would it frame the perfect smile?
Or would the finely sewn synchrony
of alphabets like polka dots
on its dull, clean-white background
be the key to unlocking someones' closed ways
or will they hold the secrets of ancient days?
Would it be flexible enough
for a scroll to reveal God himself?
maybe they would bury a childs' playful thoughts
with his stick friends in a note pad
as they arrange a beautiful orchestra
and dramatically act out an opera
or maybe, just maybe
explain the cure for cancer.
Shall these words make new laws
or will their choruses ensnare us in prejudice
would they scream out lies
or be a gentle caress on the soul
letting spines tingle.
Shall they make bellies rumble and tongues water
or maybe they shall outline
the hollows in our foundations
On a dirty brown sketch pad.
But what do I see?
a plain sheet of paper
lying in my imagination.
What do you see?

My Reflection

Poem Inspired by:  Woomie: You-nique Reflection
                                                              


You stand before me
in perfect resemblance
a complete ensemble
of characters that sleeve my soul
is packing in the depths of your heart
we're wearing the same hat-
you are my reflection.
Sharing my emotion
I see you
and see the scars that,
line the very depths of my mind
from the painful habits
that inhabits my spirit,
I see you and think
oh! purify me.
