Your Soul

Another's words inspired me.  Hers were an ode to Black Men.  Mine are solely for my beautiful Black Man.


I see Your Vibrant Soul
its Fierceness Roars at life.
Your Stamina Defies the World
with a polite Fuck you and
an Adamant and Stoic refusal to give up or give in.
your footsteps Beat their unique Drum that calls me to Dance.
i hear and Willingly follow as you Guide Us on our Journey.
the Colors, Shades, Depths of your soul
have Moved me from my first glimpse at your Tapestry.

You Tangle me in the Complexity of your soul.
and Bind me in the Safety of its titanium velvet Cocoon.
you've granted me Sanctuary and let me curl beneath your soul's sweet Protective shadow
so Close that I can feel its strong Pulse and smell its heady Man scent.
Under you, i want to spend a Lifetime
Tracing every line, shadow, curve, and crevice of your Breath-taking Spirit.
let me Warm your Cold spots with my Breath.
Heal your Bruises with my Tears.
Kiss away those scars of disappointment and sorrow that Lay within it.
be the salve for the aches of your wounds.
Please may I Care for your soul, Nurture it, Feed it, Love it so tenderly?
oh and there...
Yes...there...
I bask in your infectious Joy that springs like a Rainbow on a fresh spring day
as the Sun suddenly Breaks through the clouds.
It Engulfs me until i'm bursting with light.
your soul's Laugh lines reflect the love and Wonder you Harbor so Quietly.
how I Love to Play with you, giggling and jumping through the Magic we share.

i stand Forever in Awe of You.
in You i see a brilliant Star about to Burst from behind a cloudy night sky
to Radiate across your corner of the Sky.
i see a thousand beautiful Possibilities With you.
all surrounded by a deep full Harmony that echoes through the Walls my soul.
i watch as you carry your responsibilities with a Grace and ease few manage
and stay true to the Man of Character and Integrity i've admired
Despite the struggles and hardships you Tackle and Defeat.
with your Tenacious grip you hold Tight to what Matters to you Most.
standing on the Solid foundation of your Honor and Pride you bow to No master and
Define your own Destiny.

i am flawed and human.
I know sometimes i am too Careful too Intense too driven
that I can Think too much
and try Too Hard and be Naive and inquisitive and maybe a Little too Soft.
but You.
you.
you.
You.
are My
imperfect Hero.
my Bumbling efforts are simply my foolish Attempts
to Guard and Protect you in return.
No other comes before you in my Eyes.
i would Slay Dragons demons and beasts for you.
Fight the world for you.
i Kneel at your Feet and Surrender to you my Everything
because your soul Touches the very Root of me.
it is my Rain, Sun, Earth
that surrounds me and give my life Focus and Hope.
my Sole focus.
a True hope.
into you i Pour all that i Am.
because i Never want you to search for more
or Doubt my Intent.

i get Lost sometimes in your soul's loving caress.
The Richness of You overwhelms my Sense and Reason and Strength.
every Promise you've Given me
the Moments we've Shared
every Door you've opened to me
the Dreams we dream Together
Each of those are like brilliant gems you've placed so purposely into my heart.
i Pledge to Protect your Trust and the Gifts that you've bestowed to me
with every Ounce of my Will.
because your Soul
your Love
you
you
You
are my Everything.
