HER SONG

I never knew
How good music
Could sound
Until I heard the music
From her heart

It wasn't all
Baby's breath and lace
It was also beats and breaks
NeoSoul like riffs
And wax cuts
Over Ngoma strings

Man, she played a mean
Soul sacrifice with those hips
Lennon type
Psychedelic trips
Moaned Etta James blues
from her lips

She played stylistics
Magic in her eyes
Rumbled Joe Henderson Sax
From her thighs
I swear I heard
Stairway to heaven
When my tongue
Danced deep inside

Pushed TLC to the side
Because
I was chasing waterfalls with pride
I heard the keys of NY when she'd ride

Watching her body Chi-town House me
She made me and the song cry
There were angelic
Enya hymns rising from her soul
As she let go
And I heard an Oriki for Yemaya
Wrap my body in sounds of the ocean's deep
Then fade to shore ripples over sand

With calmed breath, and eyes locked
I held her hand, sang her praise
And promised never to part

I never knew how good music could sound
Until I heard the song from her heart
