Rain Forest

RAINFOREST

by Haki R. Madhubuti

You are forest rain


dense with life green colors


forever pulling the blue of life into you


see you walk and


I would burst rainwater into you


swim in & out of you


opening you like anxious earthquakes


uncontrollable, but beautiful & dangerous.

Get with this woman come


fire frozen beauty,


men cannot sleep around you


your presence demands attention


demands notice


demands touch & motion & communication.

You are runner


swift like warm wind hurricanes


fast like stolen firebirds


& you disrupt the silence in me


make me speak memories long forgotten & unshared


secrets uttered in strange storms,


deep, full sounds reserved for magical lovers.

Listen runner


I’ve shared pain with you,


I have commented on future worlds to you,


I have let you touch the weak & strength of me,


I have tasted the tip of your ripeness &


kissed sweat from your middle.


I have bit into your mouth and


sucked the life-forces from your insides

And I know you. Understand you.


I have shared books and travel and music


and growth with you. 


sweet knows honey & I know you.


under salted water tides


& running against polluted earth

I’ve tried to be good to you woman


tried to care beyond words


care beyond distant spaces


beyond sensitive phases & quiet lies


beyond cruel music & false images.

Indeed, you are an original high & dream maker


& true men do not try to limit you.

Listen woman Black


I do not wish to dominate your dreams


or obstruct your vision.


Trust my emotion, feel.


Know that I am near & with you


& will cut the cold of winter winds to reach you.

you are delicate bronze


in spring, summers & special autumns


you are forest rain


dark & runner & hurricane-black


frequently,


I say frequently I bring you


midnight rain.

(Repeat)

Listen woman Black


I do not wish to dominate your dreams


or obstruct your vision.


Trust my emotion, feel.


Know that I am near & with you


& will cut the cold of winter winds to reach you.

you are delicate bronze


in spring, summers & special autumns


you are forest rain


dark & runner & hurricane-black


frequently,


I say frequently I bring you


midnight rain.
