Black Woman By Cedric Smith

I love the body of a Black woman, the curve of her hips and breasts, the lips that kiss my body in all the right places, the face of a Goddess in all her glory. When I look into her eyes, she looks into my soul. I smile because I know that her love is the love of my mother when I was a child, the love of my sister when I was an adolescent, the love of my wife now that I am a man, and the love of the Creator when I release my spirit from this body.

I love the mind of a Black Woman, the twists and turns of a mental war between her natural instincts of nurturing and her artificial urges of self-hatred. When we build, I gain an awareness of my unconscious acceptance of sexism and I am forced to consciously, sincerely, and humbly beg for her forgiveness. Her thoughts penetrate the walls of my mind wrapping my thoughts in a cocoon. When my thoughts have reached the final states of their metamorphosis, the threads of the cocoon are shed and love spreads its wings over the earth bringing peace to everyone’s existence.

I love the soul of the Black woman, the positivity that knows no boundaries, the force that set the multiverse in motion. Undefined, unmeasured, all-encompassing. Her soul is the crown we all strive to wear upon our heads, for the soul of a Black woman is the true sign of royalty.
