I never Knew…

I never knew…

I never knew…

I never knew what I was missing 

Till I went dancing; 

Where I found myself meeting. 

As time got itchy and flying 

I got settled to drinking. 

I never knew that I would be seeing 

A girl in Caribbean dressing. 

At the corner of my eye, I noticed her approaching; 

Her white smile beaming 

That she got me turning. 

She signaled for a sitting 

While I was blushing. 

She was a girl from Sudan; 

Here touring and campin'. 

Her skin was a simmering black; 

From a queened face to back. 

I smiled at her name; 

They called her Miriam. 

Miriam knew a love language 

Of a charm and courage. 

She didn't care that I had scars; 

They just reminded her of hers. 

She said love must hurt; 

It trains a heart. 

I laughed, 

She smiled. 

Before I knew we were talking 

While laughing 

With fingers doing an intertwining. 

All the noise was disappearing 

Leaving us caught in a teasing. 

We danced 

And closely held. 

Her slim body tingled with excitement 

At our every rhythmic movement. 

I looked into her eyes; they were burning 

Causing me a wanting 

And a wishing for tomorrow to be without a morning. 

She paused  

Touched my lips that poised. 

As we kissed 

In excitement she kicked. 

I never knew what I was missing 

Till I got meeting 

A girl in Caribbean dressing.
