THE AIR SHE BREATHES
Soft, atramentous vapors
Giving life to flowers as she exhales the world
With sensuous breezes
Sent deeply into ecstasy’s divine womb
Drawn fully on every breath she takes
Carried beyond clouds
Past dreams, into eternal bliss
Chocolate purity brushes her face, sweetly
Warm whispers entwining her
In swirls of wonderous splendor
Filling her nostrils and lungs with her
She breathes through dark lips she has floated across
Many times in her dreams of her
Feather sweet, warm-soft
She’s touched her soul with soothing winds
Delicate honey-flavored tenderness
Her beautiful Ebony woman caresses her mind
As she floats across the currents she creates
While moving through her life
