Chocolate Sundays

Body ignited like my lover's eyes when she looks at me.

Sewn excellently in your mother's womb, then dyed through life, a peculiar entity.

Alien how you're fabric'd with ebony toned silk, tulle, & chiffon. I’m sure fond of your foundation.

Not your make up, but, how you’re made up. Combination of Life’s favorite materials,

so I guess you are made up, imagine that? Imperial.

Your skin: UV inverted body paint, vivid in sunbeams,

you seem perfect, lofty taste, timid at nothing, player.

Theres just something about that lushness that doesn’t taper;

Gradient only gets more valid, a chef told me color is flavor.

If that’s the case your pallet's;

deep brewed savored Hawaiian Kona coffee beans, no added cream.

Pan seared pomegranate seeds stain your finger prints liberally.

That bountiful nectar remains in your identity.

Nude entity never popped so fervent, rivaling even the highest cocoa percents;

Ya parents shared that 100, no sweetener to dilute, an acquired taste, a tall beaker of hot truth.

Who:

you gotta blow the steam off before sippin’ slowly.

Taking in all of the glory.

Surely a few pictures, equaling about a few thousand words,

could describe what your looks serve,

but, change the angle a bit, and even the sun’s gotta squint,

falling in love with your slow roasted tint,

I’m adamant you quicken the sun’s adrenaline, making him a bit nervous.

He even gets a few spots on his face when y’all have dates,

maybe like June 21st?

Solstice starts his soul stirred thirst,

making him pull out his pad and pen and verse lines like prime meridian

about how you’re distant when its drizzlin’.

Complains that you’re dimmer in the cold winter,

giving him the cold shoulder in the shade,

so hyped to wake up early in the summer to knock on your windowpane to start the day,

looking at you is payment and he just wants to share his rays.

That dark and my light looks oh so good on you babe.

From ya toes in the dew stained grass blades, to your roots that defy gravity, glistenin' with oils that glimmer your crown happily.

Nappily.

Dark skin shimmers making even nature feel like a winner to witness,

quite the livest existence, something so vibrant in all of its solar systems.
