SPEAK OF OUR LOVE

Soror Taishi Shaw
Lambda Eta Chapter, Sam Houston State University

Deep as the night when the sunlight dies,
and pure as it's light in the sapphire skies,
innocent as a young babe's questions why,
that's how I feel when I look in your eyes.

New as s blanket of frest morning dew,
bold as a spring jay's streak of blue.
Gay as yellow's brightest hue,
that's how I feel when I'm close to you.

Hot as the white in the desert sun,
smooth as a gazelles graceful run,
relieved as the land when the rain has come,
that's how I feel when our two become one.

Strong as the heart that sacrifices for love,
peaceful as the place touched by wings of a dove,
true as the promise that is waiting above,
thats how I feel when you speak of our love.

"SighberLove"...

By Soror Yolanda Williams

"In a quiet midst...
an internal search
for the reasoning of how such an incomparable treasure
began to foster such a mesmeritic passion that flows like a
river tainted
by the sweet innocence of "love" discovered.
The kind that makes you dizzy...
when you close your eyes, they water & dance at mere
thought...

The kind that makes you smile, shake your head as you press
the send button...
The kind that makes you want to share all that you've been
endowed with...
When in the midst of your fingertips...
I listen as you tell me how a word can make your day ...
that you love
because i am
and that you know i'm more than my wrists will allow me to
reveal."

To the Kat I met in Orlando

A Smile, A Dance, A Glance
No words spoken
but a smile from across the room
Just as she caught my eye
I had caught hers
A smile
that was not forgotten
and told a
hello
that could not be said
in any language
or in any amount of words
The beauty of her
smile
out shined everything else in the room

A dance
like no other
with again a look
in those
beautiful eyes
An elegant dress
with a beautiful silhouette
accentuating
the many curves
of this Queen
of the
east

Moving slowly from left to right
a dance so simple
yet so sensual, passionate
The only flaw was the
songs end

Not many words exchanged
just a smile again

And as greeted so was the farewell
a sweet smile and a wave goodbye
which lasted all
but a few seconds
but lasted so much longer
Finally appreciating the beauty
from a distance with the desire
to speak more
but
distance preventing that from occurring

A smile I will always remember.

To the Kat

I wish I didn't love you....

Everytime I look at your picture, or think of your voice

feelings well up within my heart which overflow into a river of tears which run from my eyes....

Everytime I think of the times we've shared and the closeness that has developed

between us, I want to ball up in the fetal position and cry myself to sleep....

Everytime I think of the fact that you can never be mine for your pledge is to another

I wish I didn't love you.....

feelings don't go away overnight...and my heart longs for you daily...

everytime I imagine the softness of your lips, the warmth of your embrace...

this lonliness tears me apart inside....
