BLACK WOMAN

SELF LOVE

BLACK WOMAN 

Black woman

From a black man

Know wonder sometimes I forget that I am the weaker vessel

In stamina that is

My intellect

My vision

My hope

My forceful collision with truth

I learn from my youth and it is

Embedded in my genes

Strength that is may not be seen

With the naked eye

But it underlies all that I do

How could I receive anything less from you?

Black woman

As vast as the Indian Ocean

And as fruitful as the hills of Lebanon

As valuable as the Salts found at the ends of the earth

We must always remember our worth

The joys of giving birth and never ending what Jehovah started

Celebrating differences and not letting retard what is- and created good

I have stood in commune with

My Lord,

My Father

My Creator and Confidant

And in the abundance of HIS wisdom I have nothing to be ashamed of

My pigment a testament to his greatness

This fact cannot escape us

Black woman

A fierce mother lioness

With the smoothness of black onyx

And the refinement of black sand

A diamond hidden at the base of a volcano deep inside of the motherland

Home is where she makes it

Family is protected to the death even if it is done by oneself

Her man’s right hand and most trusted companion

A champion

The most refreshing creature that brings her Rain Forest downpours to you

Tropical and sultry

A most desirable being

A warrior queen

Given us through the Sons of Ham

  I AM

A BLACKWOMAN

nice poem, though we could argue lineage for days, Ham is connected to Egyptians or so the records state, a difference from some African aspects of history, my direct lineage comes from Ephraim, one of the twelve tribes...Ham being the youngest son of Noah...Noah cursed Ham and to this day the birth of slavery as we know it...the curse also darken ham's skin, so was Noah white? ...I find it interesting at best...

Beautiful, so many cultures associate your pigment with the nature of whom we are , but we are all created in the image of the one and only ALMIGHTY WHO proclaimed his creation GOOD...I love all races and cultures, but sometimes we have to remind those who do not know of God's wonderful grace whom we are thank u so much for your reviewJVL NARASIMHA RAO..I love indian culture and food and am even learning to speak Hindi for the Greater Good of the Good News....smile

I'M TRULY FEELING THIS ONE NOT ONLY BECAUSE YOUR TALKING ABOUT ME. BUT ITS YOU AND EXPRESSING THE ESSENCES, THE AROMA THAT COMES OFF A BLACK WOMAN WHEN SHE'S TRUE TO HER GENES THIS SHOWS WHERE U STAND AND ITS ON FIRM GROUND. STAYING ROOTED WITH ONE'S SELF A BUNDLE OF WISDOM WAS SHARE THANKS YOU SO MUCH AND KEEPING IT LINED UP WITH GOD. THIS COULD MAKE A WARRIOR FALL IN LOVE!!!!! BEAUTIFUL WRITE
