Black Widow

Sitting here
tracing the image
of your silhouette
I remember
the lines of your hips
while touching the curves
of your lips
with eager fingertips
as they gently kissed mine
Feeling the softness of your skin
and the touch of your hair
within my hands
I am recalled to life
by the beauty of death 

Diary

I am

an everlasting personality

A soul that has risen

From the grave

I was strong

And beautiful

I was sensitive

Yet vulnerable

I was caring

But could be mean spirited

I was loved

And yet I was hated

I was a mother

And I was a sister

I was a neighbor

And a childhood friend

I was the woman

Behind the counter

Unappreciated and fatigued

I was passed by

On the streets

Becoming the unseen

But now you are sitting

Reading my words

Hopefully moved

By my story

But will you remember my legacy

And share the diary

Of a young black woman
