Song of Songs Part III
 
 
The Redbone:
 
He actually thought I didn’t know…
He was looking in on me while I took a bath!
Hiding in the garden outside, stroking himself and groaning
And me, I waited, and called him at night in my mind
With visions of him looming over me in the darkness of my room
I became flooded with my juice, and muffled screams
How could he be afraid? He was my wildest dream!
So, time went by. I was in grad school by now, and so embarrassed cause
Girls my age were all married, with two kids and I?
Well I spent my time studying the scribes of old
And minoring in physics.
In class with men, my teachers praised me, for I was the smartest of all
And the men smiled, asked to court me, but behind my back they mean mugged me…
Dreaming of the day they could use love to shut me up.

 

 
The Beloved:
I was the ruler of all.
Women, they were a dime a dozen, Andromeda on Fridays cause
She always brought her freaky friends with her…
I was bored though, it had become a game to see
How loud I could make them scream, and my patnas and I would bet
How quick we could make some foreign dignitaries’ daughter’s panties wet
I had wives, 40 children, and a bunch of stupid broads whose only goal was
To live in idle luxury, and wear my signature ring and hope
That I’d be falling through once a year to wear them out.
I had a favorite though…
My only problem was, I loved her too much to make her mine.

 

 
The Redbone:
I was known for crashing at His wives houses, on my travels while doing research
They welcomed me, hiding their scowls cause they knew…
If I was there, wouldn’t be long for He found a reason to come by…
And He would, and I would helplessly watch as they turned on their charms and
He retired with them for the evening.
I slept as far away as I could, cause I couldn’t stand
Hearing Him loose fury on their bodies
But, in the morning, he would be making me breakfast, serving it in my room
Eating and laughing with me, asking me what I was studying today.
“You gotta have a full stomach to be at your best!” he would tell me.
And he would take me to the library, and pick me up with some fire rolled and
Waitin’ in the ashtray.
On a hill I’d discuss my observations, show him my notes, and he and I would
break it down over the smoke, and watch the sun go down.
The Beloved:
She was like a sister, a road dawg, and a genius all in one.
Known for goin and busting someone’s sh*t
on my behalf, fighting men who
Were stupid enough to break rank.
We would ride into the war zones, places where my wives would puke coming near
She never flinched, holding her cigar in her lip, dressed like a guy to hide her
beauty and
Command her respect
The type of girl you didn’t mind around your boys, she’d sit quiet and chuckle
from time to time while
Me and my n*ggas
relaxed
She’d play with Me, popping Me in My head and running, wrestling, burping really
loud in my face and laughing, and I’d think
She was a long tall drink
Of the truth.
Then came the suitors.
They took over the radio stations, pledging undying love
Deeding her galaxies
I’d make them f*ckers
pay billions
Just to take a walk with her
and I’d feel my anger boil
Feelin’ helpless, cause I couldn’t bear to hurt her
And I thought if I asked for her hand, that’s what would happen, and I’d lose
all of her
See, her companionship was enough.

 

 
The Redbone
My fantasies got worse and worse,
I screamed into the night and could hear Him in the distance, moaning my name
So, one day, after the ball game, I came up and kissed Him in the car and
He grabbed me, grabbed me like a man does his wife
And I looked in his eyes, and saw…Him..
And there we were, in his room, and I pulled up my skirt
He buried his face in me, licking, sucking and biting and
I pulled out his root, and groaned, it was so..pretty..
I’d seen them before…but his was so large, but not deformed, or freakish
It…was perfect.
He had snapped, grabbing at me, hugging me and kissing me
Saying something about “You’re the only one for me.”
And he rubbed himself on me. I screamed with joy and He spilled himself in the
sheets.

 

 
The Beloved:
I ran like hell out of My own room!
All I could think is, You might get her pregnant, stupid!
I heard her crying and I thought, What now?
Boy, she’s smart though, she knew I wouldn’t take it,
She had to give it to Me.
She knew if she made our Father mad, she could get sent to dwell in some far
flung place..forever.
Even still, she got Me, damn, she got Me…
I was goin out that afternoon, just to ride around with the fellas, to chill
out, and see what, and who we could get into.
It was raining, a steady rain, but I still put on my cream colored linen, and my
white leather boots, my best ones…
I had taken the trash from my room out, setting it in the garbage, and out of
nowhere, She ran up on Me, and threw water, rainwater on my shoes, basically
ruining them.
I was pissed. I have no idea why, when so many times, I’d have walked away, and
made her pay Me for them, but I ran out into the garden after her.
The rain was a steady, soaking rain, dripping liquid purple onto My white
clothes, and I stripped them off, in My anger, and set them outside the door of
the house.
I ran out into the garden.
Let me help you understand, this was a big garden. It was about 5 square miles
of fruits, vegetables, flowers, fountains and the softest grass known. There
were many places to hide.
I had to track her by her footprints in My mind.
I went deeper and deeper into the garden when I saw a flash of red and golden
brown
She laughed in her mind, and I saw her hair, wet and clinging to her skin, then
I saw she was naked.
Now, protocol demands that If she’s naked and I’m naked, I can’t let her see Me.
So now, I was being chased.
Hours went by, and the afternoon turned into evening. It was the weirdest day of
My life
I’d feel her getting closer, and I would take off, losing my bearings in My own
damn garden!
I was thirsty, hungry from running, and lost!
The hours had went by, with me catching glimpses of her, wet hair and her
eyes…they had turned dark with anger…or so I thought. I knew she was pissed
cause of what …
Well what had happened the other night…but what could I do?
I couldn’t hear her, and I entered a clearing, and saw a big peach, hanging, and
I grabbed it, and bit into it, chewing, and bam!
She tackled My ass.

 

 
I lay on the ground, looking at her, looking at the deep blue-violet of the
night
“What the f*ck
is your problem?” I yelled
She stood over me, and I looked at her, her thick self, nipples erect and
seashell pink
Her wet hair sticking to her, and her…sh*t,
for lack of a better word, she had a fat coochie, covered in red hair.
I felt myself swell up, and lying helpless, I knew…
She kneeled down, opening herself up, glistening pink
And placed herself over my root and… she looked at me and I knew
This girl is going to force herself on Me!
I wanted to stop her, I wanted to, but she was so fine….
Please, Im so sorry. She said.
Then she slid herself onto me, when my tip touched her lips I felt this strange,
wonderful tickle and
She slammed herself down onto me…”I love you…” she said while she did it.
I writhed in the grass, screaming., and I exploded.
I felt 25 suns instantly supernova by the force of my orgasm.
I opened my eyes, and she sat there, touching my face and smiling.
“I don’t care anymore, I don’t care, you’re all I need….”
I took hold of her and lost all my sense
One minute she was over me, chanting my name and crying
The next I had her pinned on a wall, it was like I, a Man, couldn’t stop coming,
Couldn’t stop crying, I twisted her all around, pounding into her
I spilled so much that flowers started blooming around us
I was so angry, and so happy at the same time
We went all out, she spent hours sucking on me, I would grab her face and
explode in it, yelling at her, “You set me up!” and she would just keep begging,
Please, more!
Then the sun rose the next morning, and My anger went away…
I wept in her arms, and told her. “I’m making you my lady, my wife, f*ck
the others, I’m only keeping you at my side.
“I love you, love you, you, you…” was all that was said as
I wound himself into her again, We couldn’t stop…it was like We were merging
into One.
Eating fruit for our hunger…I stayed there with her for a week! A whole week!
I heard our Father coming…and felt her fear, and I covered her in kisses and
told her
“If he banishes you, I’m coming too..” as she cried and
Our Father just stood at the edge of the garden and asked?
“You two OK?”
We walked toward him, naked, and holding hands.
“Father, I want to marry her, right now!” I said quietly.
He laughed.
“I was wondering when you Two would stop being silly and get together! I already
have the wedding planned!”
He had never before spoke of the 10 palaces he built, long ago just for their
honeymoon.

 

 
The Redbone:
My Father cried right before we walked down the aisle.
“Your mother and I pledged you two to each other when you were born.”
We were starting to think we’d have to change plans…
I wanted only the best man for you, and He was that man.
I wept openly during the ceremony, He did too.
Imagine wasting eons being silly and blind
When all you needed was right there.
The Marriage Supper was incredible,
Over a million guests, He was acting a fool as usual
They poured oil on him, anointing the Marriage, and his Spirit took it in,
laughing
He started a Soul Train line, clowning, dancing silly, and I laughed like always
He passed out the best dro, had the servants get wine aged since the beginning
of time
That sh*t
would put you on your ass, and folks were tearing it up
There was a 1 mile long procession of cars following us to the palace,
And the clowning continued, n*ggas
cracking jokes, jumping fully clothed into the pool
Cats hollering “Hell Yeah! Into the night
And we danced, like always, but now he could put his hands on my hips,
He could rub and touch, and murmur what was going to happen to me later on.
I had become so aroused I had to leave, sneaking off during on of the million
photo
Ops with Him and His boys.
I snuck into our bedchamber, and cried because my Mother had made it perfect.
Pillars of creamy candles were the only light, the bed made in royal purple
sheets,
She went to the balcony, and touched the billowy white curtains, parting them to
see the sea.
She dressed in the teal boyshorts, and the teal camisole, and lay down, heart
beating,
Thinking, how blessed, how honored I am. That He would put all to the side and
make me His one and only
He had deeded me four universes
And precisely weighed all matter within them
And deposited their weight’s worth in gold, platinum, all kinds of priceless
jewels, and silver
In her treasury.
He had built a thousand schools, with state of the art libraries in My name
And devoted them strictly to Womankind
And most importantly, He gave his wives away to good men, and
He came and made his home with Her
He came to her that evening, eyes low, full of good wine,
And he slowly, so slowly, pulled her onto him, and spilled his love all over
her, wherever she wanted it, and rocked her to sleep.

 

The Beloved:
I wasn’t having Her stay home barefoot and pregnant
She was willing to fight by my side in the War
And She was more than capable
She had My children, though.
We came home for times, to calm down and tend to our babies
And brought them with us, they were special, even the infants
Had Power enough to destroy a galaxy.
We hated that there could not be sweet peace everywhere, yet
We knew that, together, We were more powerful than anything besides God.
And one blissful day We would finish dealing with the Ignorant One.
I will always love Her, with all of My Heart.
