i know you
your eyes tell your secrets to me
& when your eloquent lips
touch mine
they speak
in a language
that only i can understand
you have a strength that overwhelms
inner beauty that mystifies
& a peace that fills my soul
you are bronze, beautiful
& irrepressibly mine
but when you are weary,
i will give you rest
quench your thirst for compassion
& dry your tears with my kisses
for this woman knows
the remedy to your troubled heart
& dispirited soul
black man,
i understand your pain
& this is what i have to offer
so come,
when troubles are heavy laden
come
lay your head upon my *****
& i will be your strength
when you are weak
