Dark Chocolate

Thank God for black on black bigotry, oh the sweet dark chocolate they left for me. Thank you for their eyes did not see swarthy is the beauty I seek. Thank you for my brothers misery, because precious dark chocolate is in love with me. The bright of her smile the light of her eyes the contrast so deep. Her ebony face her curly locks eclipses the sun with angelic majesty. In the moonlight her beauty is of sparkling gold, God she's my sweet baby to honor to love and hold. Oh the folly my brothers, for when she's in my arms I dream of a sweet princess, royalty of long ago Her kiss the berry so dark so sweet. Her honey sweet waters streaming replete. I am your shining knight and the spoils of war you will keep, on bend-ed knee I will not harbor a diamond, ruby or nugget of gold, my swarthy princess you intoxicate me so. In your bosom please don't let go. Thank God my brothers did not know.
