It took the light of ever single, solitary, star,
To make the shape of your body so heavenly,
Until the first eve became a total eclipse,
That made every dawn a shade of your ebony,
I stood there as he took the exact amounts,
Of beauty and elegance to shape your essence,
I hid my face until the summit of my shyness,
Became a masculinity in your presence,
I felt your body of earth and water,
Promise to quench my hunger and my thirst,
That is until I saw him spark your wild fire,
And felt a fluorescent desire to put you first,
And at that moment all of creation could feel the wind,
He blew into soul to form your spirit,
Until your moans became the sound of music,
And all the angels could stop to hear it,
I watched the flames of countless stars burn,
Until each one slowly became a cinder,
I watched him mold the clay and ash of stardust,
Into the brown sugar that made you so tender,
And at that moment I struggled with my innocence,
As I stood in the darkness of your jet,
Wishing I could lick whatever it was,
He used to make you so soft and wet,
I saw the bravest creatures come out their havens,
In the darkness of your abyss,
And become dark horses, panthers and ravens,
In the wake of his great bliss,
As they went through the eye of the great needle,
He used to sow the perfection of your lining,
And one by one come out the other side,
Embracing your rhythm in the stitching of his timing,
I felt him engrave his likeness into you,
Until the base of his chisel made me tremble,
He said if his joy of creating was a sign,
Your presence would always be his symbol,
And at that moment I wanted you so bad,
I could feel you in my marrow,
As he enriched you with enough melanin,
To seduce a Caesar and subdue a Pharaoh,
I looked through the savage fire,
Until it became the radiance of your sheen,
He wore your halo around his finger,
So I bowed down to kiss the ring,
I smiled and your true beauty was revealed,
When you looked and gave it back,
I chose this struggle, my fate was sealed,
When I saw him paint you black…
