The African Queen

The African Queen A woman ebony colored, brown, half-white half black or blue black Her necklaces, meaningful beads and jewelry Her gait, that of the African antelope Her Majesty Wait for her to extend her hand Be nice and gentle That means no gripping her hand tightly or pumping No hugs, no kiss on the cheek, no touching the shoulder Let Her Majesty initiate the conversation with you While on the throne the departed royals watch keenly She walks only but as their representative amongst the living In her veins flows the blood charged with electrons of power She is the living beauty and incarnate essence of fertility Her smile is but a blessing to all She is a lady of generosity and elevation of the mind Hers is peace and sincerity Truth and loyalty She inspires hope, joy, and loyalty in love An essence of worthy ambition
