MELANIN BEAUTY

MELANIN BEAUTY

 

She was adorable in her coffee tinted skin

Her beauty as rare as the clustering of dragonflies

Amazing to look upon like the gathering of butterflies

Through her eyes stars felt closer than ever

Her lips was as beautiful as the opening of petals

 

 

My heart paused when our eyes came in contact

I felt like i have seen the queen of all that is beautiful

The envy of every woman there is to be

She was thin tall and adorned in elegance

Endowed with charisma of an Ethiopian princess

 

 

Her smile was first born

Her beauty always suffocated the crowd  

All i could see was the wonder of her skin

I have fallen under the spell of this black queen

She was a fragile treasure, the elixir of beauty

 

She sparkled like she was kissed by the morning sun

She was never satisfied with her perfection

Trying to fix what GOD has personally certified

Denting you to wear a skin that isn’t yours

Like sharp sand i watched her beauty sink rapidly

 

She was deep rooted in self-doubt of her skin pigment

Not knowing the magnificence of her existence

She never knew she was a gush of glamour

Glorious to behold and graced with melanin

Gradually she became high on inferiority complex

She became lost in a world she was created to own

 

 

Your beautiful brown body is a work of art

Dipped in black gold and coated with brown sugar

You define an indestructible uniqueness

Your black skin is a badge of superiority

Black is magical and above comparison

Black complexion is the new religion .
