and yet
there is still this...
somewhere there is a place
a place that will allow me to rest
in your true beauty. a place
where to be a black woman
full of love and hope and splendor for you
is as common as salt water in the sea
is as wanted as the touch of your hands
is as necessary as the air inflating my lungs
true, there must be a place
a place where i can stand beside you
full of admiration for your humanity
full of dedication to your manhood
full of appreciation for your consciousness
for it is in this place
that i will greet your tolerance with tolerance
match your respect with respect
praise your honor with honor
uplift your kindness with kindness
yes, it is within this place of harmony
that i humbly thank you for loving me
the way a beautiful black man loves
