Strong love
Sensitive love
Sweet love
Sweet like grandma’s clove buds
Sacred love
It sways like the baobab
Vulnerable love
Rich, illustrious love
Love of royalty
Call upon the mandrills
When that love is near
Love of great passion
It lives falsely depicted in the white world’s sphere
Misunderstood
Bold & humble
Kente clothed in pride
Wrapped in honor
Ask me what it means to hold you
My protector
My nurturer
I’d answer it is because you heal me
Strengthen me
Sensuous love
synchronized love
valiant love
timeless love

Of sticks and steel,
Between brazen sugar cane fields and bronze sunsets
I will find you
Home-bound
Smart love
It beats through the pulse of the djembe
rhythmic, lyrical love
Ah, listen
listen
Do you hear her?
Mereba
Professed on the caves
Ancient love
It lives deep
In the valleys
It skips with stones down the beaten Congo’s path
In the wells of my soul
It is whole
My, it is so whole
They crave it
a special love
The man by the river tells stories of how rare
Comet-bound
“If you seek it, treasure it”
Story tellers say
For it is gold
Rich in comfort, valuable and eternal
Callused and sun drenched
Serengeti love
Ever more Prideful
It dances through winds
The island whispers of its arrival
The lovers
The fortuners
The black love

M. Yeboah
