Come Into My Room

come into my room
my african queen
wear that gown that makes you look like queen Nzinga Mbande
do the things that will make me 
remember what i read in the books about Cleopatra
as soon as i look into your eyes 
the moment you come into my room
your eyes exorcise the demons out of me
you are that milk that was good for my health
as a child growing up
though my mama forced me to take that milk
i reminisce,you are all that i need
to calm my nerves
come into my room
give me that inspiration to write
of my joy and happiness
no more sorrow and sadness
many who read my poems sure know
what it is that i'm talking about
come into my room.
