Rozm!chelle's Poetry

These are my words. They encircle me, in warm or cold weather, in the face of mean spirited or love flushed versions of me. Hear them, feel them, wear them, embrace them as I do. Only then will you understand their power and truly appreciate their value.

Celestial Woman

It is the moonlight in my skin,
that's why I glow in the dark
it is the night-time in my beauty
the bright crescent moon in my smile
and the eclipses of my eyes,
each sparkle in my pupils
a collage of constellations
i hula-hoop in the rings of Saturn,
playing jacks with the stars
shooting pool with the planets,
sinking them into neverending black holes
spinning on the merry-go-round
of Mercury's orbit
yes, I am a Black Woman
and for me, the world turns
and the universe
is simply my playground.
