Black And Beautiful by davidkingsley59(m): 12:11pm On Feb 04, 2023 |
If you must lie to me, Maria, please try not to cry Smile like a child and wipe my tears like blind Bartimaeus Should you trip and fall off a cliff, spread your wings and fly Sing a sweet song and let the world hear your lullaby It’s okay to dance in the dark if your limelight is watching The night is a time for lives we find timeless and boring You can cry and fly and sing and dance to a song for whores, Maria Don’t be scared of freedom, my love, because you’re black and beautiful You’re a sharp sword forged for Sextus Pompeius Magnus Pius Julius Caesar “The Great” can’t face your flame in my hands Our future was carved in gold and no warlord can stop us You’re the sword and spear and I’m the horse in armors Those we trusted as doves are bad wolves, but we are God-like When our weapons got blunt with sweat and blood, we turn vampires So, we warred and cried, and sang and danced to one song with pride and joy It takes two hearts of gold, big and bold, to behold and hold Holme’s “Home” When the birds chirp and sing my tunes, will you remember? When rippling waves recede and I call, will you come? Look at the sky, gaze upon the sun, and remember Let it dazzle your eyes and take you to November Leave your pain and tears for me there, the doves and wolves will find peace On my strung wings, soar high with strong winds and seize the keys, please Unlock your world and see, deep within, what makes you black and beautiful Black is truly beautiful, my love, go look into the mirror https://meziesblog.com/black-and-beautiful/ |
