Valentine's Day by Donna Renita Hamilton
I fell in Love on a Rich Chocolate night, dancing under Coconut stars beneath the light of a Cream-filled moon.
He and I, our caramel bare feet glazed with Vanilla sands. Cinnamon wafted in the air, we did inhale.
I am Butterscotch, He is Toffee. We together in the Sea, swirling, dipping, twirling- Laughing, Tasting, Loving.
Making Cappuccino topped with Whipped Cream.
Master Bay Shun & the Brown Girl
By Donna Renita Hamilton
I am beneath the full silhouette of the moon.
I am stark. The sky is pitch.
She is naked and spikes
the Ocean with her beauty.
I am her reflection.
A fluid limb envelops my body.
I glide my finger down a honey colored arm
Sweat has concentrated its stickiness
so it runs freely. I dip a finger and
taste the sweet sap.
I reach up and wrap my hand around his
thick neck. They barely make it half way.
But it's Okay because I know the spot
That longs my touch. Waves rise. I
Close my eyes.
My fingers. Ravenous, enter his mouth
in search of wet-warmth, lips and tongue.
He feeds them. Nibbles each one at a time.
He holds them captive, momentarily.
My body trembles. Fiery chills rise
inside. I reach to stroke him. But
He takes my hand and places it between
My thighs. He wants I to touch Me.
I stretch, arch. He smoothes and sooths.
Seduces my nipples and they shy away.
Then grow with anticipation. Coy
erection. His handsome mouth
swallows them.
My mind needs quenching. Am I
speaking in tongues? He pulls my
bottom lip into his and moistens
my mouth. I no longer thirst.
He drenches my thoughts.
My neck, my ears my eyes.
My nape, my lobes, my lashes.
My breast, My belly, my b-button.
Throbbing.
Tingling.
My feet! My toes!
My back, my ass, my thick brown thighs.
My belly again. My b-button again.
My, Oh wait a minute! wait a minute!
My, My, My cli…my clit…My…
Sweet, wet, succulent, Pu Puss Sy!
I see blue, yellow, red, orange, and green.
I see the color of moist, and hunger,
and passion.
I smell a rainbow.
My emotions are soaking wet.
Pulsating, Vibrating.
The Ocean explodes. I arch my back--
Wwway back. Spring back some
more then forward.
I want to kiss Him, ravish Him, Love Him.
But He is no longer There?
I Celebrate
by Donna Renita Hamilton
My name is Nikki Nu born into this
here world on a Black night
in a Black chevy, between Black thighs.
My Mama named me Nicole the new belonged to
that dark moon. Later she says she may
have picked, Sepia. But says it held no
strength. "No, Mama I say, that’s isn’t dark
enough. Sable maybe?” she smiles.
Yes, some say I am what’cha call Blue Black,
Coal Black, Black as Day, Shiny Black.
Black as Day. . . that’s the thigh slapping one.
“Amen.”
Oh, but Yall don’t get it twisted.
God loves my Blackness. The Sun
smiles upon me owing me no apology.
I keep my
head up high adoring its radiance.
And I kiss it with mature lips.
I gaze at the Moon with wide inquisitive
eyes. She is noble amidst the dark sky.
I am thankful for her. She reminds Me of
Me. I embrace her with grateful arms.
I taste lemony days drenched in sunshine
and inhale the cool peppermint night breeze.
I dance a two-step with my Sister
silhouette, sashaying my wide hips--swish swish.
I raise my dark arms high above my head
stretching, reaching. My brilliant
fingertips grace a timid star.
“Don’t be shy” I tell her. “Shine baby Shine”
I am Nikki Nu,
New for that Black moon
I was born under. New because I stand
tall, erect, akimbo. Draped in Blue
Black from head to toe.
Some say I am
Charcoal, Black as the Day is, Shiny Black.
With a name that could a been Sepia.
But My Mama said it wasn’t STRONG enough.
I am a
Black woman A-F-R-I-C-A-N American
and I am proud. Yes, world I celebrate.
I celebrate then. I celebrate now. I
celebrate my Ebony, Onyx, Night Skin
FOREVER.
