Black Love?

Written by Khalia Solomon of Northwest high school


What is love?

Is it the wails of a newborn baby yearning for a mother’s touch?

Is it the giggles and tiny patter of small feet running around a home?

Is it the character in your favorite book, whose embraces you crave?

What is love?

What is love to me?

The warm honey-colored palm with dark lines detailing a story

Coarse hair and bright eyes that have been blessed by the rays of the sun

Two-toned lips, soft and sweet like melted chocolate

Skin felt in a tender embrace

It has to be this.

The nights spent awake

when the stars were beaming in tune

with our soft-spoken words

coming from the depths of our broken souls

in the wee hours of the night.
