She is beauty defined, by the grace of her emotional intelligence

The elegance of her word choices brings my guards down

The round of her genuine smile warms my perception intently, ever so gently amplified by her soft dimples

Can it all be this simple, how she asserts her heart in her regal speech

With a reach that aims to connect, while remain intact with self-respect

Who never seeks to breach by an overstep of boundaries

For she built her own to let people in, not to keep them out

To welcome me in is an honor and a privilege

So, I'm persistent in my attention to detail, matching her affection with honesty

Honestly, with no intention to receive but to reciprocate, this here is the after anticipation

Where the placement of our words dance in rhythm to attraction

The fact is...our black is beautiful

As our dark chocolate and brown caramel curls into mocha, coffee, cinnamon swirls

Leaving us stirred in a twirl of awes, this world is ours with the exchange of fluid conversation

Art-ticulation, stimulation deeper than what's behind our clothes

We show our spirits, expose our minds

The time of our lives encapsulated in fleeting moments

Focused and cherished, we are present in discussion of our likes and dislikes

Careers and fears, how the two correlate, what self-care practices we participate?

Views on family, what is our motives? Our favorite emotional response?

What God we trust, or do we leave that to luck? What do we hope to put behind us?

Does our platonics match up? If so...could there be an us?

Whatever ends up from this experience, I am pleased I was able to receive, and I was able to give

This will live in my mind rent free, for it's scenes as these that keep us alive

As rising grand aspirations to falling subtle palpitations

No matter the sex you be, regardless of what tongue you speak

By our love for this event occurred, she and I concur

We all need this one thing: Intimacy


ORIGINAL LYRICS:


She is beauty defined, by the grace of her emotional intelligence

The elegance of her word choices brings my guards down

The sound of her genuine smile warms my perception, poignant as her soft dimples

Can it all be so simple, how she asserts her heart in her regal speech

To reach and connect yet remain intact with her self-respect, to never over reach or over step

Boundaries...building them to let people in and not keep out, welcoming me in is an honour and a privilege

Persistent in my attention to detail, matching her affection with honesty

Honestly with no intention to recieve but to reciprocate, this here is after the anticipation

Placement of words dance to the rhythm of attraction, our black is beautiful as dark chocolate and brown caramel swirls

This world is ours with the exchange of fluid conversation

Art-ticulation, stimulation deeper than what's behind our clothes

We show our spirits, expose our minds, the time of our lives encapsulated in fleeting moments

Focused and cherished, we are present, in discussion of our likes and dislikes

Careers and fears, how the two correlate, what self-care practices we participate

Views on family, what is our motives, our favorite emotional response

What God we trust, or do we leave that to luck, what do we hope to put behind us

Can there be an us, if not does our platonics match up

Whatever ends up from this experience, I'm pleased to have recieved and was able to give

This will live in my mind rent free, for it's moments like these that keep us alive

Rise and fall like palpatations, but indeed this is one of the things no matter the sex we need
