Inside of a Woman - A Poem

When you are inside of a woman,
especially a black woman,
the feeling is unexplainable.
When she surrounds you, as if to protect you,
with her soft and sweet love,
keeping you warm when you are cold,
touching you, passionately,
because you and her are one,
your hearts beat together,
your thoughts are forever.
Longevity is sought when you are inside of a woman.
When you are inside of a woman,
you both know what is sure to come.
You both seek what you have been waiting for,
what has eluded you for so long.
But now that you are inside of a woman,
you will not let her go easily!
You will fight through the pain,
fight through harsh emotions of the past
to claim what is yours and yours alone.
For when you are inside of a woman,
you are closest to the most undeniable sensation,
of truth.
Truth that cannot be frowned upon,
only to those that do not know the truth and splendour,
of being inside of a woman.
The way that is was set out to be from the beginning.
I shall not stand by and let not a woman know me,
for I am her authority and she is my truth,
and I am strong when I stand erected in truth.
No one can deny me my truth.
No one can deny me of being inside of, my woman,
Heart, mind and soul.
