Village Maiden

I am a story among stories Riddled with many victories; I was written in a womb Now trapped in the tomb. My body has a voice Blessed with poise; Beauty held in alluring contour That sends even gods on a sexual tour. I am a black child dressed in grace That reflects on my man’s face; Reason leads me like a horse-drawn carriage In my quest for marriage.
