Ebony Descendants

Hands in hands and eyes To eyes,heart to heart and Verdicts upon verdicts... The hearts have merged and Nothing of asunder. Ebony descendants. Their loves powerful arms, like thunder, Rigid insinuations yet Like flower, So they watch all night To see it never wither. Ebony descendants. Ebony arrangements Nature's love horns sparkling Like silver. Always together like Lilies and valleys. Walking shoulder high,Proudly Brandishing ebony complexions Like coco-butter or something Like sweet chocolate. Theirs is so pleasant. These black descendants, These ebony make ups These elastic African sunsets ... Yours is hugely elegant Yours is truly excellent.... Thank God for your presence.
