I Love You The Way You Are Poem by Hebert Logerie

Baby, I am a coward
But I still will go to war
For you. I love you backward
Sideways and frontward
The way you are.

I love your backhands
Your spikes, your strokes
Your deuces
Y tus dulces
Tu es douce
Comme la mousse
Oh! Baby, there is plenty of smokes
On the court today, countless hands
Are feverishly applauding your sets
You are winning again, all bets
Are on you; you are a true champion
A beautiful black stallion
In a nice, foxy and classy way
My eyes cannot stay away
From your swings and your screams
I ‘m imagining, I ‘m craving for an array of ice screams
Oh! I love black cherry, butter pecan, and rum-raisin
And anything that’s black
A black kiss, a sweet black pain
I admire your back
You are a winner
And I am a sinner
I love you the way you are
For you only, I will go to war
Venus must be smiling
Jupiter must be winking
Intermittently his big eyes
On those two inviting pies
Your beauty is unique and different
I wish I could sing; I wish I could paint
Your body in motion and your smile
You are sweet and simple, and I love your style.
