Meditation on Beauty and the Black Woman
(A Work in Progress) I know what this world says beauty is - as do we all. But we who know just laugh: to this we will never be in thrall. We know that beauty dwells both close to home and in far rarer places- And that deep lovers need much skill before they can savor her embraces... Beauty is shallow and skin deep but also deep as blood and bone... When I close my eyes and lose all sense of space and time So that I feel only the heat and strong pull of my blood, Within this reverie, deepest of my deep down dreams, The desire unfurls, sweetest in this world, for a brown skinned girl: Her lips full, almond-eyed, my sistah, full of soul, and full round curves: She and only she can ever be beauty-full for me....

I just want to say, that is BEAUTIFUL! This, IMHO, symbolizes the LOVE you can only receive from a black woman. SHE, connects with the feelings of a black man. SHE identifies with, and embraces HIS struggle, just to be closer to her man. You can't put your arms around me, kiss me, tell me you love me, and not embrace my passion, and my struggle. A black woman sincerely and fully embraces you, and loves you like no other woman on the planet... their aint nuthin' like her!!! THAT TYPE OF HONESTY IS BELOW MY PAYGRADE. |

(jus' a lil bit) You're rich in beauty And that's SO evident Your radiant essence Exquisite in EVERY inch Your enchanting body With those heavenly thighs The perfect size Extravagant eyes keep me hypnotized I'm captivated by Carefree skills that give me chills As you caress me freely, Giving expression to my obsession Unafraid to explore It's YOU that I implore Want more, live for and feverishly adore Who is this black mother nature That nurtures me and controls my core? ...... I'll stop there(it's kinda long), that's just a small dedication to my sistahs THAT TYPE OF HONESTY IS BELOW MY PAYGRADE. |

I'm glad you like my poor attempt at poetry. I haven't written in awhile. And I was in the mood to try my hand at writing one.

Because Mother's day just past i was thinking of this and happened upon this thread.
I love God for blessing me with black women. I really do. I think of my mother and i hope this post is suited to this topic. My mother was the most loving person i've ever known on this earth. I was only blessed with her prescene for 22years. In that time i learned and was taught what a loving woman was all about. She loved our family like no other i have ever seen. Literally held together both sides, took care of her own mother, great grandmother, a woman from a nursing home by putting her in her own condo,taking a student that was about to be homeless and got her a place, bought her mother a car as a gift and battled terminal cancer all the way. She was very compassionate and had empathy for everyone. She went out of her way to help anyone she could. She taught me how to be humble, and how what not to become. See, i had a wonderful example of how to love another human being. She, my mother, was my learning example of how to love others. She received her Masters of Nursing while all of the above was going on. Took care of my father while he was on dialysis with full kidney failure. She was a woman that i know was special to God ...and to all of us. I think of her and marveled at the depths of her loving heart and soul. She always had time for you, no matter who you were and had a level of patience and peace that most never knew existed. My mother is gone from this earth but always remains in my heart. She holds a special place dear to me because of the example she gave and there is hardly a time that goes by that i don't think of her. So special, so wonderfuly valuable to this earth and the ripple effects of her love touched thousands. Those thousands were at her funeral. They even dedicated a scholarship to her name and memory. She just went out of her way to help others. Thank you my black mother, for instilling such a wonderful love in me. May i be worthy of passing that on to my son, and maybe one day a black woman to show her that real unconditional love still does exist. Peace all and I love ya mom and i miss you always. Your well taught pupil. CLL |

I love black women because of my mother.
She didn't graduate from high school... she didn't come from wealth or privilege... but she is the sanest mother I know... and has more sense than any other mother I know... After being out in the world and meeting all sorts of people from all walks of life and from all over the globe and seeing their mothers and how they relate to them... I can truly say my mother is the best... She comes out ahead of white mothers, yellow mothers, rich mothers, brown mothers, highly 'educated' mothers... the whole lot ... She is simply the best.
