you are a survivor
you are silenced because the color
of your skin intimidates the ones with
none.

your ancestors
your lineage
was strong
fighting everyday to get you
here
and this is what you make of them

that better place
all that fight and toil
to plant their seed and make a nation

for you to get here and their blood
just
to have a faint taste of freedom
to see you happy
blossoming
never succumbing to the the foot of a lesser one
you are
the rich fruit that will never cease
to bear fruit

you are
another for black history month

His smoothness is a highly exhilarating enchantment
Streaming streamlined strength
Shimmering golden sensation
He pulls me into his mesmerizing mancave
Captures me in his deliciously superheated passion
His fiery excitable masculinity cripples me
Makes me sink deep into his liquid loving sweetness

His stillness is like the tranquil glassy seas
Like the vast, resplendent, and sun-kissed trees and leaves
He is a sparkling and tropic treasure
Immaculately unmappable, warm, and alluring
I want to feel his misty everlasting magicalness
His fresh, sensuous dazzlingness

Listen to him speak his astonishingly
Suave slang to my heart and soul
Electrify me all over, hold me imprisoned
In his sweet liquid lovingness
Strikingly bright-eyed, powerful, and tall mulatto
Exuberant, shrewd, and vigorous

I see prominent seamless stars in his expressive ebony eyes
He is so blazingly beauteous as an expansively dreamy flamingo
Remarkably blossoming lips
With bright, vivid hues like dragonfruit
He blooms boundlessly in my mind
He makes me eject perpetually inexpressible ecstasy
Sheer, blissful, and unquestionable perfection
Super sizzling electric immeasurableness

Sometimes it takes time
Decades even
For flowers to grow

The gift is given
But it waits. Percolates.
Even you don't know

Tulips. Roses. Catteleyas.
Florida sun
Reno snow

Mustard seeds
Thai lotus
Dragonfruit. On we go.

i may not be bold enough
to claim that i'd **** for you,
but if you seek proof of my heart,
i'll slice and peel you a purple dragonfruit.

in the end,
my hands will be stained—
not with blood, but purple,
and it would mean all the same.
