Hardworking like Ogun
But you're definitely Chango
Alluring and charming
I'm enchanted by your word flow
Infatuated by the way your words wrap around my soul
Your essence is worth far more than pure gold
Your lashes kiss your skin
Like the horizon and sea
Reuniting after years of absent sun
Your eyes are like limpid pools of desire waiting to draw me in
So mesmerizing, I'm stuck in a trace
That I don't want to end
Your smile is comforting like the warmth of spring
Your laugh brings me joy
It's like hearing the canaries sing
And your skin...
Infused with melanin
Soft, fine and lustrous
Your deep brown skin
You're the heat of summer's fire
There is no one I desire...
But you
