Nubian God
I saw him across the black sands,
Under the cherry lit night sky;
His skin as dark as blackberries
And as smooth as the still dark ocean
On a warm night.
His body rippling
Like the dunes of the Sahara,
Rising and falling with majestic mounds
That play over the soil
Like a mystery about to unfold.
His eyes pierce through me
Like onyx melting in snow,
Waiting to penetrate the essence
Of the earth below.
He moves toward me
Like a Black Panther
About to devour its prey.
Slowly he approaches
And a sense of fear and pleasure
Erupt in my body and mind
My Nubian God embraces me;
I come alive with passion,
Exploding in a fog of inner peace.
