Somewhere In Life Is Love

African Star

Beautiful as the timeless thought of darkness
Lovely as silk hugging curves on a summer night
The thought and phrases that come out in her walk
Takes flight at first glance during peripheral sight
As she walks past swiftly
I am smoothly glancing
Her walk rhythmically entrancing
Her style as ancient as the drums that beat
In the heart of grasslands in the Serengeti
Shall she be my sunrise?
Captivating my mornings and awakening my senses
To her aroma of genuine womanhood
Can’t find a girl like her in the hood
Cause they can only be seen at night
Away from the nightlife and in the starlight
She stands out like a blonde highlight
Breaking the patterns of black hair
Dare I say her beauty is lasting?
Cause she gets it from her momma
The legacy of the beauty in her family
Will put your senses in a trauma
Meaning you lose your sense
Commonly used to let you know you can’t approach her with a line
It would be a crime to put her in a class with the rest
She puts the spottie ottie in the dopolicious scene
She is that brand of coffee that has no need for cream
Because she’s never bitter
And a man’s love for her will never wither
Her words could stop bullets
Before the spring releases the trigger
Her strength will never go down in history
But will stay in my memory
Forever
Just like black leather on a 95 degree day she is
The epitome of heat
A smile that makes you sweat in your seat
And melts you into submission
And she never sees it
Show her
It doesn’t take a psychologist to get to know her
To know her tears fall when it doesn’t rain
That it is hard for her to smile when there is pain
And sometimes she would rather be on a train
Far away from here
Than to be there where niggas will just stare
But won’t dare care like we do
Sometimes I wish I could show her
But I just find ways to ignore temptations
And clothe her
With fellowship
Because to that star
That shines so brightly on that African night
I am nothing more
Than a friend as distant as a lion to a herbivore lifestyle
But with the same heart
I love her with the courage to wipe tears
And to stay in touch over the years
Because even stars
Need someone to talk to
Wish upon a star


To understand my words, you must first understand my mind. Balik737
