She would like to share some new pieces with our readers:

 

 

 

 

 

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.
