Is it weird to say

That I wanna kiss you,

That I want to know how it feels

When our chocolate lips

Press together-

Overlapping each other?

Your lips are like the summer

And when I look at them,

I can’t help but want to feel

The summer breeze.

I don’t mind that you’re short

Because I can always think

About what happened

Before she left.

The chocolate lips

Of this summer girl-

That clouds my mind-

Has made me smile every time

I walk outside.

I bask in her heart

For only a short moment.

Coming back to reality-

She sits next to me

With curls that define gravity.

She licks her lips

As if she forgot the taste

Of her melanin skin.

Her eyes are the milky way

That leads to an infinity

Of lust and sadness.

Her voice is like the river-

It flows into my ears

And it doesn’t go out the other.

I’m a victim

To her voice and the way she moves.

Her laugh is running,

Running through my veins.

Her goofiness

Reminds me of my momma

And her kindness

Is like my gma.

She is the only chocolate

That I will take a bite into,

And she doesn’t know

How admirable she is.

Every day I want to tell her

That she is the sunbeam

I love to feel.

That she is the water

I want to drink.

That she is the milky way

To my universe.

I wish I can stay with summer

But winter is keeping me from staying.

I have to stay cold for winter,

So I can’t stay warm forever.

Winter has to be long term,

Summer is always short,

No matter what happens to her

She’ll always be in my heart.
