African melanin

#African_melanin From a distance, I was captured, in me a flame lit, curiosity stroke my urge, in my body, suspense strangled me, dying of heat, waiting to be quenched of my yearned thirst, a chocolate pigment, velvet and silk in one cloth, I see what nature never allowed me glimpse into, maybe I lived in denial, for I chose not to go for dark skinned, until I couldn't balance myself anymore in this frame that carries my skin, African melanin I call for the old and wise, something in me was never aligned well from my infancy, I need African roots in me to be transparent now, my story acquires undiscovered tracks, I'm in African eyes, feel found, I didn't know I was lost, hear my bones stretching, awakening the Africa in me, African melanin I stare not behind, for I'm inevitably fixed to what's in front of me, a focus with my heart long missing puzzles, I wanna say Africa in you I was discovered but this African royalty before me, chokes expressions out of my mind, a melanin, one day this world shall meet you and see why I couldn't name you, I fear for the eye which shall discover this treasures wrapped inside your melanin, I fear for the heart which shall fall from your beauty edges, maybe I'm just a coward that fear has found hiding spot in but I'm certain of my discoveries, your ***** rarity, mesmerized with echoes, my pulse lose its skipping turns, please catch me, before I lose even my mind too, inside this maze of your melanin, African melanin
