Black Love: A Spoken Word

In the spirit of Black History Month and the season of love, I felt it was necessary to share my take on black love and how incredibly important it is.

Black Love: A Spoken Word
thecut.com

When I think of black love,I wanna love someone the way that Whitley loved Dwayne and how Bow loves Dre or how Gina loved Martin or Monica loved Quincy...

I wanna be caressed by his silky dark chocolate skin,

be sunkissed by his soft juicy lips,

and adorned by his scandalously seductive smile

Black Love is something rare, I tell you...

It's a chemical compound that when combined with the perfect elements can be a force to be reckoned with...

It's a sense of essence, a feeling of power that literally screams BLACK POWER

Black Love is a vibe, It's a vibe that takes you to a whole notha level, out of this world, and then back down to earth because its power makes you feel oh-so whole,

whole like that last puzzle piece to your Kehinde Wiley masterpiece,

It gives you that undying strength, to show the world that we stand together like one love, as Bob Marley said...

Black love is nice and warm and rich like a hot a fudge sundae, it's just right and always hits the spot.

It's crisp and clean like a fresh pair of Nikes,

right out the box

Black love feels like royalty and regality,

He is my king and I am his queen,

When I thrive, he thrives, when I cry, he cries because he makes sure that I don't go through my pain alone.

Black love is something that can't be explained and can only be felt...

We are like supernovas riding the milky way as we merge our souls like the star-crossed lovers that the great power above intended for us to be…

Black love is a raisin in the sun, a beacon of life, a diamond in the rough, patiently waiting to be cleaned and polished, ensuring a happiness that lasts for all eternity...

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
