My African Beauty

My African Beauty Oh, breathtakingly beautiful woman, The queen of beauty has arrived, As if a gift from the sky sent to me. But sticks and stones may break my bones, For I long for you to be my drink, To quench my thirst with your presence. My heart flutters like a butterfly, Taking flight far away, Captivated by the caresses of your deep brown eyes, Teasing me with a single glance. Your simplicity sweeps my bitterness away. To me, you are not a headache, But a hidden hangover of love. You are like alcohol, Your charm penetrating my head through my heart, Like a drink through my throat, Leaving me in a state of rapture, Drunk on your sweet words. Oh, my African beauty.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
