african american poetry

i love the old melodious lays
when i looked into your eyes
last midnight
the fragrance came
when sea-winds pierced our solitudes
and how could you dream of meeting
i expect you
what spiteful chance steals unawares
storm
doubtless i remember still
this is the ship of pearl
you are my companion
i hold your heart
i sometimes wonder if it's really true
