My Mistress has many names given to her by all those that adore her<\/p>\n
My Mistress has many children of all shapes, sizes, and color<\/p>\n
She is a great teacher and lover to all<\/p>\n
Teaching us all how to sing, dance, cast, and cook<\/p>\n
She can hop, sway, and swing<\/p>\n
Her dances and songs are better than sin<\/p>\n
My Mistress knows how to tempt the devil himself into letting loose and roll with the good times<\/p>\n
She’s spicy, sweet, full of rhythm and Congo beats<\/p>\n
Her recipes call for several measures of magic and the Holy Trinity<\/p>\n
Once I landed on this Creole beauty, I knew my eyes will look for no other<\/p>\n
When I tasted her, my soul cried out for more<\/p>\n
When her trumpets and drums banged against my skin my heart was rooted in<\/p>\n
She does not belong to me but I learned to love her selflessly<\/p>\n
My body may not have been borne from her flesh but I am kept<\/p>\n
My Mistress of Jazz, my Madam of Gumbo, my Duchess of coffee and beignets and Priestess of all things that go bump in the night<\/p>\n
My hips sway to your seductions<\/p>\n
My soul sings for your trumpets<\/p>\n
My spirit is seasoned by your herbs and spices<\/p>\n
My blood is now infused by your second line<\/p>\n
My Mistress your name rings out to my being<\/p>\n
New Orleans you are tantalizing and freeing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
