Beautiful Black Woman, my flower, my sky
My power is nothing without you
By my side
My spirit, my soul, my feelings
Inside
Should never be the cause
Of the tears that you cry
Hurt younever
Sorry, if I ever did
Three words but eight letters
I Love You
Thats what this is
StupidI once was
Black LoveI now chase
Im not afraid of transparent liquid
Running down my face
I cry for you, would die for you
Your hand inside of my hand
Is similar to the sands
Of the earth traversed by man
Our love grains will never separate, never scatter
In my world, believe me
Youre the only thing that matters
Cornell Martin
Ode of Black Love
For Every Black Woman who is or has ever been fed up
with the stupid shit that so many Black Men do.
Each of you has a piece of my heart.
Cherish it like I cherish you.
This book is for you.
I love you!
God : None of this would be possible without you. Thanks for manipulating the events that caused my earthly fathers seed to take root in my mothers womb. Thanks for all of the pain you have allowed me to experience on this material plane. If I could, I would not change a thing. You made me who I am, and I could never love another without loving you first!
My Publisher : For giving me the opportunity to creatively express myself by way of autonomous self-expression. You are doing a great service to humanity, and I will continue doing business with you one way or another for as long as God wills. We have not even scratched the surface of the kind of success that I envision. In time, you will see that my loyalty to you is unparalleled.
Shandreka and Eddison : For believing in me and supporting me throughout the years. Your love is obviously contagious, because love is all I feel when I either think of you or am in your presence. All I see is Beautiful Black Love when I look at you two love birds! Whenever I meet Mrs. Right, I want our love to be as potent as yours.
All of my nieces and nephews : I pray that you all find true love when you grow up. Sometimes the pathway to love is rocky, and sometimes it is smooth. If the former is more intense than the latter, then avoid that kind of love, because you do not need it. But if the latter is more intense than the former, then that is the kind of love I deem beautiful. Always seek beautiful love, and your lives will be joyously fulfilling.
Wendy Raquel Robinson : For being so damn down for your man! I respect you more than words can explain. He is so blessed to have you! Know that I will always consider you a goddess of the utmost quality. Your love for him inspires me.
Kerry Washington : From Standard Deviants Habla Espanol? Learning Spanish : The Basics until now, you have never ceased to amaze me. Your innate thirst for Beautiful Black Love has been of great interest to both my soul and me. I wish that I could tickle your heart with a flower of love. No hay nada en este mundo que Usted no merece. Espero que lo encuentra el amor verdadero. Truly, you are worthy of nothing less!
Vivica A. Fox : Most men misunderstand you, which is, for the most part, the primary reason why the true love you seek currently eludes you. Like so many dudes have told me that they respect my gangsta, I respect your goddess. If ever our paths cross, I believe we will both experience emotional fireworks. Keep searching for that love, girl! And when you find it, hold on to it.
Elise Neal : For being so damn strong . Heartbreak could never crush you! You are too real for most men. I know that you crave Beautiful Black Love, because I see it in your eyes, oozing from your soul. Do not let the stupidity of some men cause you to question all of us. True love will find its way to your doorstep. And, when it does, all of the pain you have ever experienced will fade away. Believe it!
Meagan Good : You are too good to go bad, so keep love on your mind and in your heart. If you do that, your earthly experience will be enhanced tenfold. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You are more beautiful inside than out!
Sharon Briggs : You are the quintessential example of a woman who is dedicated to spreading Beautiful Black Love to everyone you encounter. Clarence would be so proud of you! Keep caring and sharing. It is truly an honor to call you my friend!
All of Malcolm Xs Daughters : You have inherited the strength of both your mother and father, so you deserve the same Beautiful Black Love they shared with each other. I have all of you close to my heart.
Every Black Woman I Have Ever Hurt : Forgive me for being stupid. I deserve all of the misfortune that came my way as a result of me hurting you. Do not allow my past actions to cause you to mess over your man. He is not the man I once was. If ever I see you again, I will embrace you with nothing but loveif you allow me to.
Every Black Man who has Transcended Black Male Stupidity : The road to wisdom has been a long one, especially for those of us who have had to acquire wisdom on our own. Cherish your Beautiful Black Woman. She needs you, and you need her. Only when the two of you unite in love will mountains be moved.
All of my Haters : For being the fuel that adds velocity to the vehicle I am driving toward success. I appreciate all of the inspiration. I could never fail in your presence. Thanks for being an integral part of my life experience, as well as an essential part of my drive and determination. I see you today but will forget you tomorrow!
April Freeman : For believing in me, supporting me, and staying true and real since day one. It is because of you that you have this published book in your hands right now, so I thank you. You are absolutely the most amazing friend! Always know and remember that you will have a loyal friend in me for all eternity. We will take our friendship to the grave and continue to enjoy it in the afterlife. Believe it!
Although I have written this book primarily for Black Women, it is also for Black Men. Weak Black Men will view it as a slight to their characters, but those who are strong will understand that this work is nothing of the sort. All I have to say about this is, It is what it is. In addition, some readers may misinterpret the title and assume that I believe all Black Men are stupid. Others may assume that I oppose interracial relationships. Both of these assumptions are false. Like all men, when it comes to male-female relationships, many Black Men do stupid things. And love is not confined by race. However, I do believe that there is something special and otherwordly about true love shared by Black couples. Hence, the title. But this books contents are open to all. If you truly want to understand exactly what this book is about, read the section entitled Foretroduction: A Foreword and Introduction before delving into the following chapters. Enjoy!
