Love At First Stanza

He takes over the room when he enters and I drape his existence around me...immediately

I take on his stature as he draws me close

with his majestic magic...his elevated presence...his distinguished grace

He's able to draw me in even though I'm not ready for it

he demands it...effortlessly.

His smooth brown manliness takes its place in the dimly lit space and then he starts pouring it all over the room. I begin to sink, my lungs filling up with his scent.

He is coated with confidence and a luxurious presence that exceeds even their already high expectation as he recites

his poem

soothing to my very soul

He said his name is KWANE

K-Kingly

W-Wise

A-Alluring

N-Noetic

E- Eclectic

It’s in his name.

I stare and then

I experience it. I want the it in the him.

I wrap myself around his lingo and relax in his flow as he matches my rhythm. We ride together.

He enchants me.

Every

Single

Moment

the moment I laid eyes on him

Once we’re done

In that space

He gives me that ladies first stance and I walk out with him.

And those left behind are feeding off his chocolate… I am too. I’m ready for more.

So he takes me to Baby Kay's on the corner and I fall in love while Dino plays the guitar.
