Searching for the Queen in U

[Kulmiye]

I’m here writing on loose leaf,

my mind thinking to the beat,

and my heart singing the blues deep

in my prime-scene never fall in love swift

coz I've learned how to express in hard fist

but I’m trying to feed off a jazz clip

keep my mouth zeal-

let my tune deal,

body swing

And the blue ink

Will carry out your fantasy

yet the summoning wind

is blowing the seed

Tempting by all the

Things running deep

I could see myself drifting in sea

Oh sugar- when I thought of we

simplicity burst in cold wind

with one foot in sand-

daydreaming of what it felt like to

Have a sister to called my right hand

faded pictures made my way back in rain

As we grow old -some friends

becomes just faces

others cut the laces

but you are running back to me

like this was home base

Or a marathon I let you set your own pace

As I wait for the authority

And the right word to ask you

-The honor of being my wife-

I’ll play the shadows in bay

Reflection between the bees

living proof of how our life should be

drinking from the Nile and praying

at the highest rocks in Sub-Sahara

sound of guitar and Mango

candles burning in Congo

I saw the queen in you

Waiting to be fed in ritual tone

Hungry for music and wedding ring

Open the door so I could

rock you with feathers, gold

and lullabies in rainbow

I’m yours to Go

And that’s a promise until we bone.
