African Woman

Like a Black Tulip
Her distinctive dark skin
Outshines a host of angels
And her soft, lovely lips
Dressed up with sweet sweat
From her heroic tiredness
Cure my tormented heart
When they quiver
As the ‘I love you' words
Amble on her truthful tongue
And then slip
Incessantly into feelings
Feelings unquenchable 
Feelings indescribable
Feelings irresistible
