What do you think when you see us black women
How do you feel when we love you without fault
You got to understand that not all of us are
super pretty,
...
I'd like to think that life's great
That God really do exist
Watching over us humans
And loving us despite all
...
when my journey through life has ended
And my feet has been tied for all the wanderings of the world
when my heart has finally gotten home
and my dusty body layed to an eternal rest
...
My mind is like a poem
so straight and cunny
My mind is like a map of a country
like the dark side of the moon
...
For twenty-three, I know a lot of things
I know that tight is never as tight as leggings
that 'we will see' always means 'No
...
Now can I even believe in this blasphemy?
A fake sweet lie spread everywhere!
My life, my love, my future! My death!
Can I even forseen?
...
Can you please tell the world to be silent?
I need to hear my own voice
Can you please tell my heart to stop?
I need to get somewhere..
...
This is me reclaiming my life
I am reclaiming them all.
Am trying to tell you now
you thought its a joke?
...
The sky is without the stars tonight
nothing but a starless sight.
And this kind of night,
when you crave the touch of a beloved
...
My unknown child
Please come back to momma
Don't be angry at momma
for this bloody decision she's made
...
love is a wave of unknown emotions
love is like a sea of memory
it has no shore and destinations
love is a mystery night
...
such a beauty is this night
oh fairy man of my heart
the heart rose among finest
...
This world is complex
one moment, it gives you nothing
other moment, you have everything
...
Tears, falling so true..
showing the essence of a wasted life,
wasted effort and futile endeavours.
The chronic fought between right and wrong..
...
We are here this moment
we may not meet in the next world
but the tale of our love will always be there
It will be retold till the end of time
...
The thorns of life
caught me in a cage
The monopoly of the world
set my heart ablaze
...
Among twenty snowy mountains
The only thing moving is the eye of a black bird
I am happy to stand and stares at the sunset
not the sun......and think about how it is not really setting,
...
she's the princess of the dark
like a goddess of the dawn
she controls the night as if it were hers
her body is her essence and her asset
...
A look from you changed my whole world
I always thought i fell for your gaze
cos they made my heart flow with race.
my eyes only craves for a glimpse of your face
...
I am the QueenOfthought...so inlove with nature...i love thinking, reading and writing...an undergraduate of kwara state university, malete, kwara state, nigeria... i also love music, cooking and travelling...)
Dear Black Men, (A Letter From A Black Woman)
What do you think when you see us black women
How do you feel when we love you without fault
You got to understand that not all of us are
super pretty,
Some of us are not perfect bodied or shallow
minded to demand expensive things...
Most of us just don't worship our looks
You said we are sassy and too masculine
Its not our fault, we were raised to hustle like you
Please stop asking us to fake us,
You want a dove heart, please be a dove heart
Allow us to be your helpmate, not just your
playmate
LET us be your soulmate, not just your sexmate.
GOD created us black women to push you to
purpose
WE WERE designed to help you be the men God
calls you to be
You dont know how it feels when you constantly
depend on us, lean on us, take from us buh wont
love, marry and honor us
You keep telling us that we are full of dramas
Keep telling the world why you prefer white
women
Said because they are easier and nicer
But what you don't know is that, 'loving you isn't
any easier'
You keep coming back to us when you are
damaged
ANd when you are safe on your feet,
You leave us again
You never look back to see how vulnerable we
are,
How we are not always that strong
But we thrive to stay strong for you
We desired your friendship above all else
Even in marriage, we still crave for your
attentions
Why would you be hateful and unfaithful to your black angels
Loving us doesn't make you less a man
We need you to man up, we need you to be our
men
Stop chasing after candy eye and sexually
uncovering sisters with your lack of self control
Stop needing to feel like a big man at the
expense of your marriages and families
You need to love us black women as we are
Because you are the one that can love us
better...
