Hot butter chocolate Will tempt your desire It will heat up your senses It will dazzle your tongue With its smooth satin flavor And capture your needs With a taste you can savor Like a potion of love It's an Aphrodisiac And it comes in all shades From tan to dark black For hot butter chocolate Will have you begging for more And you'll crave that sweet taste You can't find in a store It's sexy brown sugar That is hard to resist And there's no turning back From its candy like kiss If you haven't indulged In this succulent switch Then you're missing the joy That's hot, butter rich.

Such a burden of sadness Can be seen on her face She's been used and abused From men of all race She seems distant and lost With low self-esteem For life has been cruel And she's only eighteen She gave birth to a child That she doesn't even know And life on the streets Has taken its toll Always selling her body For sex without gain To support a bad habit Of drugs in her vein Disrespected and scarred By smooth talking guys Who will strip her of cash And then feed her with lies Once a symbol of beauty She looks wretched and old Another homeless poor girl Left out in the cold She's looking for love In all the wrong places Always reaching for help From all the wrong faces Another victim of shame Trying to keep hope alive She struggles for strength And that will to survive But life will continue As she gives it her best To another day of despair And another day without rest

I have this friend Who met another one of my friends Now, they are close friends Actually, they are boyfriend and girlfriend Soon to be husband and wife You see, when they met it was love at first sight And that's something that I just could not, quite… grasp I just couldn't comprehend, how, when two people's eyes meet contact Their emotions would react In such a fact, that Their mind would create illusionary memories that it would flashback, to I could never understand this concept Well, until I met This, Ebony Goddess This, Nubian Princess This, Mahogany Queen This, JET Beauty of the week That makes me weak With those elegant words that she speak Like Hi, and Hello… You see, I never have felt like this about someone before That's a little vague, let me explain it some more I remember seeing her around campus one day Her beauty, so magnificent, I didn't know what to say I would find myself daydreaming About us going on dates Talking on the phone late At night, going on morning Both of us laying in our bed's yawning Around a quarter 'til three Talking about "You sleep…" "Naw… I mean I'm sleepy, but I ain't sleep…" When I first saw her, my mind didn't tarry at all For the thought "This is the girl that I want to marry," evolved At times I would fantasize and wish That our lips would be intertwine in a kiss Long… Deep… Soft…Passionate… Subtle…Sweet…Luscious…Immaculate A kiss so quiet, yet, it still speak volumes… Or sometimes my mind is over consumed With the thoughts of her having my kids… Man, what a incredible feeling that is I would sometimes picture her in the kitchen cooking And I would sneak up behind her, wrap my arms around her waist and whisper "Hey, good looking" You see, I don't have the words in my vocabulary to explain The feeling I would have if she were to share my last name I know she catches me staring her at times And I hope she's listening to me on this stage, reciting this poetic rhyme Because when I look in her beautiful brown eyes, those windows to her soul I feel even richer than the man who owns silver and gold Because my heart soars like an eagle in flight I now understand the concept of Love at First Sight…

The familiarity That lies beneath your eyes Only visible to me So surreal Like we've bonded on another level Having shared dreams and failures Been intimate in some past life Made love of egyptian sands Warming the night air Leaving me with your seed to bare You know a place in my heart That only exists to you By Charles McDowell
