Hello Stranger
Hello there !
Black or white
A mixture of yellow or green
Blue eyes or thick lips
May be Short or tall ,fat or slim
A blend of Asian or Caucasian
African or wherever you from,
Do you bleed? Is your blood red ?
Do you breathe?
Hello there
Do you still cry when the lights are off ?
Does your blood pressure soar in the dark ?
I guess you a grown up now, a muchacho with a buoyant forehead .
Hello there
Forget their phoney comments
You are a queen, believe it ,live it.
Hey you skinny with bulging eyes
You curvy with thick lips
You are Pretty .
Hello there
You look gorgeous in those native prints
Radiant in the purple scarf
You allure in those blue jeans
Elegant in the wooden slippers
and dazzling Afro beads .
Hello there
Your breathe smell like soursop do u mind a peck on my cheeks ?
I don't care about the lipstick stain.
Hello there
I love the gap in between your teeth
It's really beautiful
What do u call it in your language ?
Hello there
Is your hair natural ?
Your locks are amazing , long and pristine
Hey there, I love your fro!
Too bad i have gone bald at age 25
But hey my head shines bright like a diamond doesn't it?
Hello there
I saw you in a sea of faces
Your wore veil with a coloured kente
Walking in the sunshine as the daisies flamboyantly fall beneath your feet.
Hello there can I poke my hands in your ribs
Can I tickle you a bit ?
Gosh! there's a hole in your cheeks whenever you laugh! it's really pretty.
Is it a dimple?
Hello there
Your knowing smile just breaks me down
I love your braids
And your fat cheeks
They bring me so much joy
Hello there
There's something about your thick lips and droopy eyes
It puts the twinkling stars to shame each night
Can I borrow them?
Hello there
Can I kiss your forehead for motivation each morning ?
Can I call you when am down ?
Would you sing for me even if your voice is bad?
Hello there
you are perfectly created
Flawless!
I admire your courage and zeal
Your humility and confidence
Your Godliness and your selflessness.
Hello there
I've you in my poems
I love your name
I learnt it's of a Queen who fought oppression
Hello there
You are fearfully and wonderfully made
A perfect work of God's creation
Don't ever force to fit in
Never try to achieve that superficial image portrayed in media.
Hello there
Just be you ,Blossom in your uniqueness
Down the media perceptions
Distort the unrealistic images in your head
You are beautiful the way you are !
Hello stranger
You are unique just like everyone
Appreciate the similarities,
Accept the differences .
