Milk in my coffee
I was a bit of a dip,
Creamy yellow milk with dark caffeine
I was a mix;
I came out light
With dark, thick, frizzy hair
I was two people,
But nobody cared.
You came, dark chocolate
On a hot summer day,
The looks I remember
As others passed our way;
Holding hands
Their eyes glared with shame
And soon our secret love
Grew to hateful fame.
No one understood,
No one was there,
As we kissed our way
From your door into your lair;
You laid me down
Your skin against mine
An obvious difference
To others, so defined.
My golden crisp skin
So light against yours
Yet I was drawn closer
Soon over you an all fours
I was in between the tracks
Now crossing to your side
Removing the barriers
So you could slip inside
As I became wrapped
Deep with in your arms
We could not hold back
Despite the alarms
Milk in your coffee
I told you before,
Creamy condensed
I yearned for some more
Inside me you stirred
Our bodies so in key,
A rough passion
Soon to be set free;
We romped around for hours
Then finally we were done
But the thing we did not know
Was the story had just begun.
I knew the way you touched me
And others thought it sin
Others who did not know
The places inside me you had been
People filled with hate
Looked down on us with scorn
The same type of relation
Of which I had been born
They did not care
Of the two halves from which I had come
I was not whole
And to us, their hearts were numb
To see us touching and flirtatiously play
Your women did not find it fun
And of my lighter half
You were accepted by none
To both of our people
For you I was too light
A mutt never accepted
Yet with you I was turned white
I got a bit lighter
With each touch we shared
I embraced my black half
It was the white that I feared
They say that we are equal
Yet our love they do deny
Some time-honored code of race
Which we two have defied
Milk in daddy’s coffee
In my blood, something I knew
Now the tables have turned
And I’m the milk in you.
