If you have been enjoying the poetry series on Alex Elle like I have, please feel free to devour her work via Amazon or directly via alexelle.com
I look forward to meditating on and sharing more of her poetry, and I hope you find as much joy as I did digging through her work.

I love seeing:
Black men who undeniably love black women and not just for
our curves, color combinations, thickness, lips and breasts,
but because of our honey, our flavor, our sweetness, our poise
and the loudness of our souls. They see us as Queens; they
crown us as such. It is understood that we can be modestly
grandiose; even though some may claim our blackness leaves
us ashamed and scared to show our God given glow.
I melt seeing:
Black men who undeniably love black women for birthing their
daughters and raising their sons and who embrace that fact that
we are not just a vessel or a beautiful bold statue to show off.
We are where they come from, we are who they love.
Black Men (Undeniable Love)
