Zulu

His love brushes me
as winnowing treetops
fanned upon the
African sky's backdrop.

He is rich soil,
rugged--brown,
and all encompassing..

He is Zulu.


Watering me
with expression
feeding the passion
of my roots
...causing them to emerge.


He is Zulu.


Daily I bask
in the sunlight
of his heat
his sizzling
masculine energy.


I grow in the sensuality
of his essence
while flourishing
in his love.


Yes, he is Zulu.

...and I, am his Queen.

Fantastic! Your poetry always talk to me...but then again, it probably talks to all tha have the pleasure of reading or hearing it

Thank you Z*...I have to say though, if it does talk to anybody else--I wouldn't know it. Your feedback is always appreciated, and you know this. :)
