What I want by Christo Diata

TO: A sista who once asked me what I want...

What I want?
Once a woman asked me what I want
Some questions require thought
I answer it here…

What I want
I want to fall in love with one woman
Know her heart, fears, mind, and what she needs to share
Have sex with the same woman for the next fifty years
Be in love as she parts and counts each of my gray hairs
Until one day
Sitting on sandy shores we will both stare
Out over the horizon watching the sunset
Hugging the moon light
Holding hands
Underneath our bed sheets the morning tide
We will become as free as the sun rise
And rule our birthed lands
Guiding our children’s hands
Until what they want is to be like us
And tell our story just to touch
The souls of those that need to be touched
And once a woman asked me what I want
Sometimes
What I want is the patience and friendship to know
What we want
