Assurance

My love..
You are persistent.
Consistent.
Able to listen
And pay attention.
So mild mannered
and mellowed out.
You never gripe,
or even shout.
You smile often,
and enjoy yourself.
You never struggle
or cry for help.
You always see
the light in things,
and skip the sadness
that darkness brings.
You strip naked
with so much confidence.
You take me over
with so much dominance.
You’re so much more
than just an optimist.
Your love is air
to my esophagus.
Like a glass of
bittersweet aged wine,
you take a sip
and take your time.
Appreciating every flaw
and abnormality.
Giving me a vacation
from my reality.
Taking and making
me touch myself.
Beautiful black woman.
‘Take the time to love yourself’
Beautiful black woman.
‘Put yourself first sometimes’
Beautiful black woman.
‘It’s okay to want to cry’
Beautiful black woman.
Your beautiful soul
brings waves of change
upon my beachside of
frustration and insecurity.
You grant me
the perfect amount
of assurance.
