The Strong Black Man

Intrigued by the aura of your being
Before me a black Adonis I am seeing
The perfect vision of blackness and manliness
Wrapped into one
I reach out for you and suddenly you are gone
Lost in a world full of insanities
confusion, turmoil and strife
An endangered species so rare is he
Yet the only one worthy of me
The Strong Black Man
Evidence of your greatness in the world left
behind
Continuously fading throughout the test of time
The Strong Black Man
Sometimes I wonder if you only exist in my imagination
But this is not just an illusion
But one of God's greatest creations
The Strong Black Man


To the fellas we certainly need more strong black men

TRU... it's a great poem - and who am I to argue with your sentiments? Smile

One thought though... Adonis is a greek word/concept so I wondered - if you don't mind TRU - if someone could help out with an equivalent replacement word of African origin?
