Eyes Of Love

Your fingers tickle my belly…Trail up to my neck…I giggle…You laugh…Your eyes meet mine…We stare for a minute…We laugh…You focus intensely on my face…Lean in and kiss my lips…I zestfully reciprocate…You pull back…Pleased at my reaction…You ask me…Do you love me…I smile…I shake my head…Your eyes get dim…Your smile fades…I say…Let me declare my love for you…I love your smile…The way the corners curve to the side…I love your mind…The way you challenge everything…The thirst you have to know…I love the way you make me laugh…Just by staring at me…I love the way…You caress me with care…As if I’d shatter if touched too rough…I love the way you…Make love to my soul and mind…Not just my body…I feel a connection beyond this realm…When I’m in your arms…I love the emotions that emanate…Just from your embrace…I love the way you say my name…It rolls off of your tongue…I love the way you kiss me…As if I’m the air you need…I could go on forever…But forever is not enough time…You ask me do I love you…I say yes and so much more…Adoration, fondness, tenderness, affection, devotion, passion, ardor, yearning, lust, mad for…These words are only icing on my cake…For the way I feel about you…Your eyes illuminate the sun…Your smile grows bigger than the moon…You take hold of my shoulders…You look intently in my eyes…Your gaze scorches my soul…A fire ignites in my body…You place your mouth onto mine…I disintegrate in your grasp…You run your fingers through my hair…I howl…You have my blood boiling…Just from your smooch…You pull away…I say what…You say…I just want to observe and admire you…I love the way your thighs curve…The round firmness of your butt…Your legs are symmetrically perfect…Your breast are sublime…Your lips are lush and exquisite…Your face is celestial…All in all…You are yummy…I say… No not true…I am okay…Your expression turns to outrage…I say baby I’m sorry…I just don’t think so…You say…If you could understand…How much I love  you…Then you would understand…The eyes of love sees things that the mortal eyes can’t conceive…In other words…I can’t express my love for you with mere words…But only if you could see through my eyes of love than you could know

Behind These Eyes

Behind these eyes is things I never speak

Pain from all the stigma on me

Hurt from all the stereotypes put on me

Anguish from all the mistreatment of me

Behind these eyes is something you don’t expect

I am a human I do have a soul

Why is every move I make scrutinized?

Why is everybody so cold?

Behind these eyes is a soul crying out

Who can I turn to when no one likes me?

What have I done to deserve this much hate?

I just got here. Why does everyone dislikes me?

Behind these eyes is a heart of love

Even though I am abused I still love

Even though I am misused I still love

Even though I am not loved I still love

Behind these eyes is a strength

To be able to carry on in this placed on shame

To be able to go on knowing all the lies

To be able to smile with a slandered name

Behind these eyes is a broken spirit

Tired of the world weighing down on me

Tired of seeing black women this all over

Tired of everyone looking down on me

Behind these eyes is a person

Not an animal or subhuman

But a girl, woman, lady, sister, mother

So much more than what people are assuming

Behind these eyes I have feelings too

Cut me and I’ll bleed

Kill me and I’ll return to dust

Love me and I’ll succeed

Behind these eyes are the scars

From the music and movies that portray me badly

From the people who want to do studies on me

From people telling me I can’t speak madly

Behind these eyes is a beautiful soul

That is not angry just hurt

That is not mean just cautious

That is used to being sad and no mirth
