The Complexion of Beauty

“The Complexion of Beauty” by: Eric L. Boddie Whether you’re light, bright or dark Many hold it at extreme amounts But the truth of the matter is The heart is the only color that counts And yours is truly beautiful And your accessories are Divine Because from the ground up You are nothing less than fine Because your body is an extension Of the beauty within your soul Which shines so brightly Since your heart is made of gold As pure as the water In an untarnished stream Both nurturing and refreshing Satisfaction seldom felt outside of dreams True to yourself There is no other way you could be God colored you in beauty For all hearts to see
