YOU

My skin tells it all

An African I stand tall

My eyelids never fall

To hinder seeing you at all

That’s why, about you I recall

I’ve been out and about

And all I say is utmost honest

To you I make my quest

Although to you I wish the best

In good and bad you rest

Your beautiful head upon my chest

Even at this my hand you’ll let

Caress your hair as you sob, laugh or sweat

In this position am able to see

An angelic face for free

Your tender heart via your eye

Your cheek that tells all

That you are one in a million

Your lips so delicate and calling

And as they part in a smile

What a gap you got

I just can hide the feeling not

In your very self, I found my being!!
