She said “why wouldn’t you keep it sacred”
I had never truly valued my intimacy
That was the situation she painted for me
Letting thieves in the night collect pieces of me
Peacefully broken with structured confidence
I was a physical creature
Deeply felt and pleasure seeking
I blessed the un-anointed
They left me void and craving
The real energy
The Jill Scott feel
The India Arie self-acceptance
The consistency of Ella Mai
The passion of SZA
The soul of Angie Stone
The rhythm and blues of Syd
The sexuality of Khelani
The sultry of H.E.R.
The wisdom and knowledge of Lauryn
The bass captures of Ashanti
The loving hold of Tamia
The high pitch mastering of Mariah
The hips and grooves of Lady Saw
The unequivocal beauty of Whitney
Singing and humming and drumming to my cadence
Speaking our unique love language
I was a magician in her waters
She was a mathematician in the calculus of my persona
Holding me with her vocals
I travel every word of my queens words
Stamping every journey of my passport to her heart
I waited impatiently for every moment of this
When she arrives I’ll understand her purpose with each kiss.
