Succulent

she's super succulent with such a print of beauty etched into her soul
the type of sista whose blackness radiates in darkness she even has a glow
not your ordinary woman whose goals are fixed on superficial matters
because her mind is set on heaven intent on climbing Jacob's ladder
i've had her in my life daily approaching seven hundred twenty days &
i can't lie i was walking dead before i met her but ever since i'm being raised
in the shadow of an angel whose reflection bears that of our Creator &
though i'm still beset with issues her presence inspires me to be greater
than i was before the day before so forevermore i shall endure
to explore the deepest depths to the core so together we can be pure
like raindrops and newborns or sunrises and new morns
plus we've got a chemistry that's scientific &
even experienced a few storms that we've weathered like tornado chasers
through prayer so afterwards rainbows can embrace us
with the promise of the covenant to never get washed away by water &
some days have been hot but nights have gotten even hotter than lava
that flows when volcanoes erupt after being under pressure for some time &
she's got some mind to mention wisdom is the essence of her presence
quite capable of managing her household showering her loved ones with blessings
addressing the needs of everyone that lives under her roof
many say a good woman's hard to find but i've got the living proof
resting comfortably on my chest while we sleep at night
yes beauty is found on the inner being but her flesh is my delight
like strawberries and whipped cream stacked high in a bowl
because my wife's super succulent with such a print of beauty etched into her soul
