The first time you left me
I drew you on my skin
With henna and paint
A darklined tribute to you
On the nut-brown tapestry of my skin
And it was a good ending.

But you came back a few years later
And i fell for you again
So much deeper than before, i knew i would not walk away from this
Whole

So when you left me once more
I drew you on my skin again
With knife and blade instead
The red lines looked beautiful
Against the death-grey of my skin.

Girl's Perspective



It was like nothing I've ever seen before..
It.. It was him.

A tall chocolate brown "him"..
Like all I've ever wanted ..

Nights with him felt like my endless euphoria
but when he left , happiness left ..

I craved him once more, the touch, the feel, the kiss
On lonely nights, on my best nights
whenever possible, i wanted him to stay forever
His perfect smile luring me to him
captivated by his melanin skin, this is what i desired

(o.d.s.d)

If some day
I should pass you
clothed in shades
of pale pastel

all I ask
is turn your face
from my failing
sense of taste...
I have an age old dread
of an old age dress sense..
Men are mad dogs,
 women, finessed felines
we'd no sooner claw
    your eyes out
than admit you're right,
we'll undoubtedly,
without hesitation - -
use our feminine wiles,
to get our own way,
and you bloodhounds
   best get used to it
or no ***** for you
    tonight, or any given day

We've got the upper paw...MEow


And, if you're a bird dog
   well, that's a whole other story,
no telling what could happen

=^;^=
Okay men, don't get your boxers in a flurry, it's all in fun! ;)

My inspiration...see, it was hardly my fault!
