Listen

"... and there are mornings much like today
where I wake just a little too early  -
bestowing upon me the task
of having to capture all that gorgeous
in a few groggy glances over pillowcases
of catching the sands
between our bed and our motherland
as they glisten on her skin -
with a little help from GODs glow
AH! what a wonderous task of loving a Queen!.."

an excerpt from Queen (2015)  by Iman Carter


"if we met when we were young, ring pops would consecrate our love."

" ... i vow to always kiss you like it's our lips last meeting, leaving love poems on your lips until you literally breathe me..."

excerpts from Our Timeless Love (2012) by Iman Carter
