The colors of Harmony

Ebony & Ivory

“The colors of harmony”

Dark Golden ringlets fall soft upon her shoulders

Press them through the plates to make them smoother, longer

Clear lacquer to pink lips to make them drip with beckoning

She prepares herself for the moment of reckoning

Rose gold pigments to green eyes behind long lashes

Porcelain foundation to hide the scars from former gashes

Anything to make his heartbeat quicken

As she slathers on oil to make her long, ivory legs glisten

If only he knew he takes her higher than the heavens

That her insides quiver every second of his presence

She hears the purring of his Audi and swallows the lump in her throat

He enters, quickly undresses, his dark, able body her only antidote

The only cure for the ache in her moon-bathed skin

The only adequate relief from the gnawing within

She glows with anticipation, iridescent skin now red and flushed

He unwraps her from her dress gently, as if to earn her trust

For what seems like hours, he drowns in her flavor

Every drop of sweet starfruit nectar he intends to savor

With his brown flesh and her supple, pink and ivory skin,

Passion only intensifies from being forbidden

This is the moment “harmony” can be described in color –

It’s dark skin meets light, glistening all over

It’s black pupils dilated, emerald eyes wide and irisated

As two opposites attract to become fully satiated

On his elbows, he stops to hover

His golden Jamaican flag pendant, dangling from his neck above her

She questions what could have possibly paused her lover

He can’t confess that he fears he’ll never get enough of her

He traces her lacquered, pink and puckered lips

Before wrapping his skillful hands around her wrists

Before plunging deep into her succulent and saturated center,

Before learning the greatest pleasure he’ll forever remember

Ebony and ivory, friendship stimulated ardently

Never before intertwined so fervently

More than a song, it’s Dr. King’s dream

It’s poetry in motion, it’s unity between opposite beings

It’s black and white, and it’s white hot with sensuality

It’s war made into peace, it’s the colors of harmony.
