True Love

I drop it
like a Baldwin novel
when Beale Street was talking
True romance
when you did what you had to
because love wouldn't let you
do less
True romance
Soul to Soul
like Solomon among his thousands
sing your song
and build your house
like Jacob with his host
like the stars
we be shining forever
We found it,
regardless what they said
a negro was
We found True Love.

Shalam,
