Someone like you
Exactly where does one start
When trying to put into words
The very essence and epitome of the words “Black Art”

For you are truly a marvel
And a wonder to behold
Your qualities are immeasurable
Almost too many to be told

To say you are stunning or ****
Might seem just a tad passe
For a woman of your magnitude
Isn’t born every day

Don’t get me wrong
For to look at you is the most pleasurable of treats
Cuz you’re finer than a century of days long
From the tip of your head to the soles of your feet

But what the average eye misses
And therefore could never perceive
Beyond your outer beauty lies so much more
Than they would ever believe

Skin so soft and silky
Lips so luscious and smooth
Eyes that pierce the night
Like the light of ten thousand moons


The face of an angel
So far beyond compare
To gaze upon it causes exquisite pleasure
To those who are blessed enough to dare

The voice of the most heavenly choir
Softly stroking, soothing the soul
Just the thought of your whispers
Leaves one fighting for control

Hair strong yet silky
Shining day or night with it’s own glow
Tempts one to stroke it
Though it may burn to the core of their soul

******* so perfectly made by God himself
Whisper kiss me; caress me in ones ear
And like the song of the siren
Hypnotize all whether far or near

But, as amazing as they are
These qualities, though they surely serve their purpose
When it comes to this woman of true divinity
They only begin to scratch the surface

For to the careful eye with wisdom
That’s compelled to search within
The wonders of what you truly are
Are unfolded from within

Don’t get me wrong
You’re all that and more, and with such stunning features
When you walk, the way you walk
All I can say is Lord, Help Me Jesus

But as the inner you unfolds
And all the style and grace are parlayed
Any man with any sense
For a gazillion dollars you he would not trade

For inside the heart with compassion and love
Lies the purest and most important features
The loving, caring and understanding
Christ filled and one of his most gentlest creatures

Don’t get me wrong
If you cross her, that just may be all for your ***
But the thing that’s sure to hurt the most
She’ll **** you and still maintain her style and class

But for the most part, she just wants to be loved
And to love just as strong in return
In such a way that’ll make sure the receiver
Is hooked by the love that she gives that he’s earned

But does it stop there...Oh no no, heavens no
For this is still only the beginning
The untrained would pass by never knowing they lost out
On the best part of all..... the true meaning

A true woman of God through and through
Filled with the spirit of the Lord above
In her heart, mind, spirit, body and soul
Lie the true meaning of real love

Never boastful or judgemental
Not one to hurt or betray
Always there to listen or lend a hand
A true friend day after day after day

And she knows just how to heal you
Always knowing what to do or say
When you hurt she hurts and she knows
Be sure she’s coming to dry your tears away

All this and yet independent and determined
To the outside world Working class while working class
And heaven above help me
When you move the way you move, (**** you got a phat ***!)

Body of a goddess? Yes !
And with the mind of a scholar
Now who would have thought such a combination possible ?
The mere thought of it makes you wanna holla

Warm and sensitive
Always there when needed
Give you her last dollar and the shirt off her back
While asking nothing in return, just always the sweetest

Loving and caring
Put your all into her if you dare
And the love she gives to you in return
Will be so much more than beyond compare

Well, that’s all for now
I guess for now I’m through
The problem is.... there just aren’t enough words
To describe someone like you
