black man.

im searching for my nubian king
equipped with a mahogany halo
adorning his brow
like an aura of adoration
eyes deep like the wells of my psyche
shoulders broad with arms that are always inviting
feet planted so solid that he seems to be sprouting from the ground
hardly able to move, stir, or make a sound when im around
because he is enraptured by my beauty

his hands are sturdy but smooth
his lips are soft but cool
his words are dignified
as they soothe
and im searching for him

im seeking my midnight dream
or my caramel concocted melody
composed of the hints of melanin within him
and the sun that has kissed him
im looking for he who is the words to the songs i play
the laces to my shoes
that keep me tied tight when my heart wants to stray
the lemon to my aid when im thirsty for love
the ends to my sentences when i dont know what to think of
the raft to my life when i need to be rescued
the brick to my house when i need a place of refuge

im on a hunt for my ebony epiphany
i want to feast on his mind
til his intelligence fulfills me
i want to be enamored by his presence
infatuated with his essence
smitten by his life and all the things he represents
i want to devour him like the delectable creation he is
pull him close to me and indulge in the savoriness of his kiss
gain cavities from his sweetness
til he becomes my addiction
combine him with the perfect ingredients
where i am the secret addition

my nubian king
my midnight dream
my ebony epihpany
my caramel concocted melody
i am on this quest for him
cause to this duty
i am bound
and i'll be looking for him
until
he is ready to be found.
