Black Dove
Mysterious coaxing out and about
practiced experience loving of shout
odd environment to say the least
argumentative adulthood respecting beast
abnormal static, mixed musical tones
ear piercing nerve rattling to the bones
words with spirit of mean
language abuse, entirely not clean
exterior thickened pride
you screamed it, so I tried
controllable anger rage
on the outside, of an inner stage
safety from the noisy crowds
abrasive wordy, darkening the clouds
best as long yearly taught
you better believe, you bought
emotional strength has resisted
your throwing blows, voice fisted
tough spanking words of love
from white, into black dove
