afro bloomin', black girl magic, cafe terrace at night, dawn, hopeless romantic, star eyes, starry night, sunflowers
Sweeter than the sound of mandolins on starry nights
Timeless as the beauty of the Starry Night
Oh star eyes,
Let me stargaze at the magic in your eyes tonight
Meet by the Café Terrace at Night
Maybe we can go on an art stroll or finger paint by candlelight
Let my fingers trace your outline
Let your hands fade into my hands,
I don’t want to know your hand from mine
Let me marvel at that Black Girl Magic neath the moonlight
I wanna serenade you with poems like:
“She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright” 1
“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” 2
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where…” 3
“I carry your heart with me (I carry it my heart)
I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear…)” 4
“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” 5
Thou art the dawn that draws songbirds,
My Woman Crush Wednesday, everyday
Sweeter than the sound of mandolins on starry nights
Timeless as the beauty of the Starry Night
Oh Queen of 10,000 moons,
This loves jones got me seeking to be your Brother to the night
Come ‘ere,
I wanna shower you with kisses,
Plant a flower in your hair
Is that alright?
It’s like I wish upon a star when I smell the coconut oil in your hair
I got a thing for that twist out with the flower near your ear
Portraits of you in a yellow sundress with the afro bloomin’ dawn on me
Like honeybees alighting on Sunflowers on sunny days
Oh, how I adore your natural hair journey
And ah, that body language has so much to say…
That inner glow is like whoa
Oh, star eyes,
In the darkest hour you tend to brighten the day
Picture yellow roses with a message card that reads:
“Gather ye rosebuds while ye may” 6
And I say that to say…
I wanna shower you with flowers just because…
Just because you brighten my day
The very thought of you is reminiscent to Nina Simone’s Wild As the Wind on replay
Thank you for the essence of all that is you…
Consider this a memento to immortalize the beauty of your dark skin,
Those star eyes,
And the way you brighten my day
