Beautiful Black
Hello black,
How adorable you are
Behold, matchless beauty
Unlike that which your eyes see everyday
Glossy sable skin,
That deflects the scorch of the sun
Coal black, with a radiant glow like gold
Thick and strong, a true African woman
There is nothing,
As white as your alluring eyes
Not alabaster stone, not even snow
It shines brightly under the darkest night
Your long tresses,
And their cascade fall over your shoulder
Gives you the enchanting visage of a goddess
Yemoja, from the flowing African deep
Your captivating countenance,
Tells of the land where coal black queens
Touches the soil at all quarters
Africa, an abode of black seraphic women
