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.
