Shango

Your thunder lights up the sky And I get to watch The majestic amber in the clouds you have charged with the light You embody even in your name The intensity in your eyes Draw me in It's where you hold your darkness And I love your darkness How can I love your light without loving the dark You make my hips quiver to the drumming of your loins My body dances to vibrations of your beat You caress me like the clay you made me from Tinting your fingers of red mud Perfecting the grooves of my being with the diligence of artist hands After you blew your breath of life into me I blessed your head with a crown of fire The very same fire I hold in my belly You carry my loc dangled on your war-blade So I can be with you for every battle And you will feel you are home Wherever your feet travels I am here to remind you of your royalty And to weld the steel in your spine And to soak your woes in my basin And charge your crown with my belly Where you can sleep in peacefulness Away from the turbulence of war I split myself into two And retire my armor at your feet And fasten the honey pot you feed from To my waist I blanket your body with the gracious nature of sensuality To remind you of softness That war does not permit And to remind you that even your own softness Has strength Marefefun my Shango
