Watermelon Sweet
Your skin smooth dark chocolate
Eyes sweet like summer and watermelon juice
Twirled together with the laughter of children
braids neatly aligned, clothes pressed crisp
gentle lingering the scent of cologne
Looks like gangster but vibes like the warmth of summer
swooping me onto the dance floor with one bold move
laughing, me, dancing to Rap music
my sensuality against the hard of this song
to which you know every word
It was your eyes I was dancing to
Yes, to linger for a moment
in the beauty of your eyes
and the warmth of your desire
made me feel like a piece of fresh home made candy
that had not yet hardened your mouth watering
for that first bite of sweetness
all we could do was laugh and dance
later hugging me goodbye tight and warm
your heart big and open like a banquet laid out
laced with come ride in my Cadillac
us looking into eyes laughing a moment of sweet connection
you were my angel tonight
my heart so heavy
the light inside of me fading
about to flicker out
tonight the beauty in your eyes
kept the light in me
alive
