Black Love Poetry is mainly from African-American poets.



Here are five more examples of modern black love poetry:

I Long To Be

by BlueWater

A gentle whisper into the breeze

In hope you will hear me…

Arms open wide

Stretching

The North winds

Carries me

Peacefully

Toward you

Catch me

Hold me

Embrace me

Stroke me

Feel me

Lovely

In the comfort of your arms

I am longing to be

Wrap in the quilt of my thoughts

In hope

You can hear…my whisper on the breeze

In hope

That the wind will carry me

To where I long

To be

Written I Long To Be



A gentle whisper into the breeze

In hope you will hear me…

open wide

Stretching Carries me

Peacefully

Toward you

Catch me

Hold me

Embrace me

Stroke me

Feel me

Lovely

In the comfort of your arms

I am longing to be

Wrap in the quilt of my thoughts

In hope

You can hear…my whisper on the breeze

In hope

That the wind will carry me

To where I long

To be



Under the Midst, I take Your All

Under the midst, I take your all

The pour of the rain

Becomes another storm



Lightening

Strike twice

Lightening twice more

The bolt of the lighten

So firm, so strong



The fire the body

Adds steams to the water

As the affect from the wave

Gust the deep water.



A fog of emotion

Release in the mist

As you tenderly

Taste of my lips



My arms hold firm

My finger stroking your back

A moan escape

In the storm

In the night



Under the midst, I take your all

The pour of the rain is the storm

From the Rapture our spirit soars

The rhythm increases more and more



Feeling myself drowning in the bliss

I am brought back by a passionate kiss

open my eyes feeling so warm

In your arms the release of the storm



Come Back To Me

by Angye Hawkins

Sweet man of mine

love me like you did

in days gone by

Share with me your secrets

and your heart's desire.



Touch me with your heart

with your hands

making me your slave

and becoming mine.



Oh I long to return to

those days

when love was new and hot

and we were one.



Sweet man of mine

Come back to me.

This next example of black love poetry comes accross rather forcefully. See what you make of what appears an excess of emotion...



I WANT TO KNOW

by Miranda Adams

I want to know how you love

I want to know how you want to be loved

I want to know the very essence

Captured in your mind and soul

Do you have a tender heart so meek and mild

Or is your heart one full of

Rage

Hurt

Pain and hunger for my reality

I WANT TO KNOW YOU



I want to know who you are

I want to know who you want to be

I want to see and partake in your dreams

If your second world will allow me

It's okay to let your barriers down

I will be gentle and sensitive

With your fragile heart and antique mind

Allowing you that freedom of expression

Freeing you from any suppression that is within

I WANT TO KNOW YOU



I want to know how you feel

When my smile meets your eyes

When my full lips connect with your mahogany face

I want to know how you truly feel

When you hear my voice rickashayin within your mind

Like the sound of the ocean captured in a shell

Is your heart warm

Does it yearn for my caress and gentle tug

I WANT TO KNOW YOU



I want to know what you want

I want to know how you want it

What your likes and dislikes are

I WANT TO KNOW YOU



I want to know the uniqueness

That makes you who you are

The person that has me so intrigued

Anticipating every conversation and physical and

emotional Connection

I WANT TO KNOW YOU



I want to know what makes you smile

I want to know what makes you frown

I want to be your pick you up

When you are somewhat down

I want to be your outlet of love

Consistent with time

Not setting any boundaries

Just referring to our love as a passionate crime

I WANT TO KNOW YOU



I want to know your favorite

Color

Scent

Day, Time, and season

You stare at me as if you want to know my exact

reason.....



I have a Gentle Heart

I have a Meek and Mild Mind

I have the time that is consistent

Just as my feelings are

I have a hunger for companionship

I am looking for that one special candidate

To share in my sexual energy

An energy that is awaiting the perfect outlet

With the proper voltage



Am I waiting for you........

Do you fit this description........

How would you or I know

If I didn't ask the Question

I WANT TO KNOW......

Who you are.



I doubt if I have a more emphatic example of the passions redolent in black love poetry than I WANT TO KNOW!

In contrasting style of black love poetry to the previous example, here is "The Serenade" to conclude this page:

The Serenade

by MzBHavin

I want,,,

To be serenaded

By my violinist, tonight

And, I want the melody

To begin

Soft & slow

Fingers dancing

Across my fingerboard

Ever so gently



I want it to melt me.



An andante,

With the slide rise & fall

Of the bow

My neck cradled in

The palm of strong hands



Breaking,,,

Is a taunting,

Waking the sounding post

within me

creating energy

with your fine tuning

Covering every essential part of me



The scale has waken me

to ecstasy

a most certain desire

seduction every beat

to every note to

every 4th measure



Bow piercing, piercing, piercing

Me like a rod

'This Duet'

A forte like lovers

I am

Dripping

White Satin.
