My Lady
My lady is as fine as a spring day is pretty
and sweet as Ghetto Kool-Aid
Yeah, she reminds me of a Negro Spiritual
cause every time I get near her
I just wanna Steal [her] Away to [me], and Lay Down
my Burden…down by the river side

I love the way you love your wife. I love that you write these lovely poems for her. You are one of the reasons why I love Black men. You know how to be in love...
A very Grown Man, Grown Woman kind of in-love!
Thank you!
Very nice, Stephen. A beautiful poem for a beauty.
Peace,

Lovebabz-
Thank you for that compliment. Just like the 80's song said, "Love is a Battle Field." It ain't always easy, but when it's right...it sho' feels good. :)
Geoffrey-
Thank you, brother. I was in trouble with her last week, but now everything is cool. I said, "look, baby. I wrote a poem just for you." Peace~
I do not know which one is more beautiful your poem, or your wife.
Or maybe it is the way you are able to express your rare, raw love for your beautiful bride.
All three are gifts!
I thought of you this Sunday, attended a black love poetry thing and loved it, how beautiful is a soul that can articulate its essence...
Hi Stephen !
I like your words as always. They sound for me like a song. Yeah ! These kinds of little words give the rythm like on percussion
Faith-
Your comment was like poetry. Thanks and good to see you.
Lady Putz-
Wow! Your words are beautiful too. Thank you. I'm just glad that you can appreciate it.
