Men in Love It's not all about what the eyes look at It's not what we have been told That men are hard and flat Or that they are rigid and cold When love stories are narrated The prince is typecast And the princess suffers the frustrated Because lies hang to the past Men are loyal too Some are deeply lost in the loving Wild stories tell of history broken by two And the wisdom of males solving They say a women loves hard Whilst a man cannot love but many They say that a woman carries a card And that she must be won Who created this game? Who constituted the cage? Who built the bag of blame? Who prowls in a fitful rage? Some men know their heart They revel in the romance They smile in joy from the start Many will admit that they value their most their bromance They play like boys They take risks in love They know something deeper than toys They embrace each other without a glove Cultures have misconstrued men Religion has overdefined men Social mores have maligned men And sexual miseducation has toxified men All men are lovers at play Ask them and you will get a million yeses They love in a billion ways every day Truth knows that there are no guesses A new man is emerging He is not afraid to touch He is happy to laugh deeply with surging A new man in whom many can vouch Especially black men Who deconstruct the myth Brothers with cosmic acumen They come in varying tastes without a plinth Pure sexual energy Understanding and patient Definition inside synergy Speaking in tones so latent Whether he loves a man Or cares for a woman Or both He is true to his divine plan He knows his place in his clan The picture is not the same The old cannot compare Men in love will not fall for shame Because they stand and prepare Men in love will not fight They know something deeper These men will not take flight Until they choose to be their own keeper ©zari olawale 2019 Photo Credit: Pinterest #blackpoetboy #meninlove #newman #deeper #change #upwardmanhood #blackkings #mypoetry #consciousman #malesrock (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvTuTy-AzQz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8x4b7n129vnj
