Old school love

I want that old school love to be taken for late night walks on the beach, Can you teach? Teach me how to love, effortlessly and unconditionally Will you surprise me with flowers in the sweet morning hours I want that old school love to be woken with a kiss on the head, a sweet…

Soul brotha

Soul brotha I want to be wrapped up in your basket of love like Moses floating down the river Nile, soul brotha I want to stare in your deep dark holes you call eyes, there like vines they draw me in, soul brotha to be touched by your smooth honey kissed skin, coated in that…

Soul ties

Crown melanin
