African Body

Her skin color looking like a highlighted shade Of the African brown soil Her hair looked like a leafless tree Its roots floating onto the naked ocean figured like the curve Of an African woman Her lazy eyes looking like the moon of raise Her nose shaped like the earth Her cheeks blushing like a butterfly in the garden of Eden Her smile like the sun in the open sky White teeth looking like the clouds gold teeth in middle like the sun Her lips looking like a Mauritius resort Her voice singing like birds with cellos, pianos and guitars Her neck looking like waterfall flowing down Her boobs looking like two straight separate mountains Her stomach looking like an African beach Her legs and arms looked like the river streams flowing into the ocean The sweet, southern, African piece With an un-random bush
