In a world where myths are real I got to see what I still don’t believe
MY BEAUTIFUL BLACK KING
I always felt as though something was missing
Thinking through it all in hopes of discovering all that newly felt void
Where I endured it all through those hard times for I knew that they’ll be far past and behind
MY BEAUTIFUL BLACK KING
Unlike many of the people out there I don’t have a president
I have a king
I crown him with my words and grace him with a cloak made of love
MY BEAUTIFUL BLACK KING
A man so fine
My dear
A triple treat
MY BEAUTIFUL BLACK KING
Just like Shakespeare’s theatrical works
For as long as you want to play my hand is yours to take
Bring.Me.Love
And just like the mirror mirror on the wall I will reflect love right back to you
MY BEAUTIFUL BLACK KING
Not once did I think I’d be writing with deep sensual ink
But then I remembered
I didn’t just simply fall onto the terra of your love
Like an ocean I dived headfirst into the waves of you
And that’s when I knew…
MY BEAUTIFUL BLACK KING
If I were to love I’d love you as the whole universe and not just a part of it
In the middle of my middle and in the mystery of a myth..
MY BEAUTIFUL BLACK KING
I’m glad I couldn’t save myself from drowning in the waters of you
For they say fates determined by the sea
And I know I was destined to be
A Queen to my king
MY BEAUTIFUL BLACK KING
YOU
YOU
Love touched my heart and I felt it’s warmth
It warmed a heart I had meant to keep cold but loving you felt different
When I write I never seem to have enough to say
How can I define it
Love might be complicated,sad,happy or anxious but more than anything love is you
A constellation of all these attributes
If space could tell our love story it would say the art of universal attraction made you a force in effect within my orbit

I bare my soul to you through these words
They might rarely rhyme but I hope these emotions and feelings resonate with you
Noticing you notice me
Love like a symphony
I’ve found my home
YOU the warmest embrace

There will never be enough words for you
Not because you’re not enough but because I love you
Without knowing how,when and from where
You are my inseparable lover embraced in the synergy of one with my entire self
Deep in our hearts where love begins,the language we’ve built together
You touched my life and soul and stole my heart
I might not know where I’m going where I’m supposed to be but you being in my life and me being in yours must mean something to me
That this was meant to be

The heart and mind may have different perspectives but being with you is one thing they’ve both seemed to agree on
That’s just the nature of being with you
You make all things make sense when they don’t
I’ve learnt to know that only you have the power to get my heart interrupting my thoughts before my mind could figure them out

You've made this poetic self live and write poetries that clasp the art of speaking truth
Each moment we together I've loved you more
And so I continue to love you even more than before
You're my sixth sense
Both in my heart and mind
My thoughts of you are in your dreams

This might not be a sonnet to a tearful lover
Divided into sestets and octaves
With 6 or 8 grouped lines
This is a piece of writing that speaks of the love i have for you
For loving you is easy
All I ever wished for
My past,present and future
Just like the memory I was born with.
Avery special poem for the love of my life - BO
