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
