Male

She hears the careless whispers

when you're sleeping

no promise you're keeping

she does not hear

and she weeps 4 your heart when it is breaking

stops 2 dry her tears

in the Venusian atmosphere

 

Nature became her sacristy

the vestments of her nobility

are Sacredly stored

and when wine in poured

as homage 2 the Savior

earth savors

her aftertaste on the cusp of dawn

 

Heaven and earth move in Sacred places

traces

of her perfume

linger in the void of limitless space

the Father of the family

the 1st among all equals

has blessed you with a prequel

starring her as your bride

 

Mountains rise 2 praise her

the incoming tide is resltess

waiting 4 her to smile

and her child

the sun produces a solar storm

so her entry into your cosmos

will be warmed

 

Bioluminescence glows

so beautifully on the darkest night

as she takes you on a journey

across the sea

4 water reveals true love in its purity

of all that's past

and what shall be

 

The power within the force of nature

venerate her as Mana

the supernatural power of the stars

and as Mars

turns red with jealousy

she blesses you with

her passionate divinity

 

AND IN YOUR SOLITARY SILENCE

YOU WILL LISTEN

FOR SNOW MELT DRIPPING ON ICICLES

SOUNDING THE CHIME

AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT YOU'RE WORTHY

2 BE LOVED EVERLASTING

BY A LADY DEVINE

 

She is known as Orenda of the Iriquois Nation

Manitou of the Algonquin

provided by the spirits all elements

are within her sweet embrace

and when you make love 2 her

you will perform slowly

4 such transcendental moments

cannot be in haste

 

She is known as Mulungu Imana

in tales of ancient Africa

the beautiful barakah of the Arab world

before Christ was born

deemed she was gypsy moon of sun and rainbows

ruler of all the land

before the continets were torn

 

And when the earth emerged out of chaos

she aligned the constellations

in perfect harmony

so men could one day aspire

to follow the nothern stars

leading 2 the birth of the Messiah

 

When Heaven was but God's animation

her sweet chorus illuminated the celestial bodies

lighting the Father's home

concepts of heavenly personification

from her spiritual essence

the first seeds of life were sown

 

As a numinous being

she sends lightning 2 scorch the barren plain

in the coming anticipation

of the soothing rains

and when Aurora Borealis

lights the Northern reaches of space

comets slow 2 greet her

before continuing their galaxial chase

 

Bathed in perfect melanin

her body in absolute proportion

her absorption

of the sun's rays

light her inner being

but dare not mistreat her

4 she is the First Daughter

of the Most Omnipotent One

the All Seeing

 

AND IN YOUR SOLITARY SILENCE

YOU WILL LISTEN

4 SNOW MELT DRIPPING ON ICICLES

SOUNDING THE CHIME

AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT YOU'RE WORTHY

2 BE LOVED EVERLASTING

BY

A

LADY

DEVINE

Wed, 26 Jan 2011 15:15:00 -0800 I AM (A BLACK WOMAN) http://dgreaves.posterous.com/i-am-a-black-woman http://dgreaves.posterous.com/i-am-a-black-woman

Black_women

I am a Black Woman

the newborn universe suckled at my teat

oh

you didn't know?

why then on clear nights do the constellations

appear so vibrant and sweet

I am sleek

I am well defined

I was a consort of the spirits

before recorded Hue-Man time

I am fine

no need to gape at my beautiful behind

every time

I strut I remind

artists that I am a portrait sublime

 

I AM A BLACK WOMAN

SINCE THE BEGINNING OF RECORDED TIME

I HAVE FILLED MEN OF ALL RACES

WITH WONDER AND SURPRISE

SHIELD YOUR EYES

AS MY BEAUTIFUL BLACKNESS

ECLIPSES THE SUNRISE

 

I am a Black Woman

The Mother of the First Land

come closer baby

feel my hands

the calluses and bruises

I change the diaper of Neptune

when Venus refuses

I determined my Black Man's glorious fate

and asked for no reward

I was raped

as my King was lead away in shackles and chains

and still I remain

a queen

the quintessence

the essence

of the Dream

 

I AM A BLACK WOMAN

SINCE THE BEGINNING OF RECORDED TIME

I HAVE FILLED MEN OF ALL RACES

WITH WONDER AND SURPRISE

SHIELD YOUR EYES

AS MY BEAUTIFUL BLACKNESS

ECLIPSES THE SUNRISE

 

I am a Black Woman

I Sojourned for the Truth

I am Coretta Scott King

Myrlie Evers

and Betty Shabazz

I didn't attend child birth classes

or practice lamaze

I had my babies right out there

in the cotton and cane fields

come closer baby

look at my beautiful yield

I am the backbone of my Mother Earth

I am so priceless

I am beyond worth

and still I scrubbed white women's floors

performed their mundane chores

healed their white babies sores

was forced to give in

when

they could not take their white men's sexual abuse anymore

and still

I

like an aged wine

am robust

sensual

pleasing to the palate

and so DAMN fine

 

I AM A BLACK WOMAN

SINCE THE BEGINNING OF RECORDED TIME

I HAVE FILLED MEN OF ALL RACES

WITH WONDER AND SURPRISE

SHIELD YOUR EYES

AS MY BEAUTIFUL BLACKNESS

ECLIPSES THE SUNRISE

 

I am a Black Woman

I don't have an attitude

I AM attitude

not trying to boast

or be rude

but I am the Creator's most perfect gift

with the fluttering of an eyelash

I can heal

or create a rift

I can shift

from a ghetto princess

to a White House Queen

no need for me to dare

I AM THE DREAM

hell

I am sexy even when I breathe

I don't hope

I achieve

I give my man reason to believe

and Lord knows

when the sons I sire

violently expire

I grieve

but,

I pick myself up

and start the new day fresh

for, I am a Black Woman

I AM THE BEST

 

I AM A BLACK WOMAN

SINCE THE BEGINNING OF RECORDED TIME

I HAVE FILLED MEN OF ALL RACES

WITH WONDER AND SURPRISE

SHIELD YOUR EYES

AS MY BEAUTIFUL BLACKNESS

ECLIPSES THE SUNRISE
