Blue iris I eye down Green paper appearing all around Red muse muting everything blown Yellow flowers grown swinging with the sound The hues are soothing But the gray gravity brings me too a down reality A pallet mixed in with neutral tones and anxiety thrown Trying to paint a vivid escape in between the sketches of our complexion   • confused with the city baby blu

Sketches of our Complexion
Let’s dig deep into that topic no one wants to speak of. At the end of this discussion let’s see who will show me love. Here comes the blacks, the hoodlums, and the thugs. The scums of this earth the rodents, and the bugs. Always on the street corner selling them drugs. They look at me like I’m a criminal lower than the minimum. Keeping me stuck in my ways for days to years. I go to work and come home look at my wage with tears. There’s no way i’m getting out of here. I’m not going to fall, I stand tall and never fear. Even in my darkest days i’m never scared. So, let them stare, I’ll shrug my shoulders like I don’t care. I can face any battles I’m well prepared. But why must I explain myself! I am a citizen, with a good behavior, and well disciplined. I went school and graduated, education is my insulin. Things happen in life back when I had a mission then. Now, I’m just one out of many men. Who gets abused, misused, by my own American rules. Where is this freedom? Let Me Be! Like there’s no one else left but me. We are the same, the skin is where you don’t agree. My complexion is the only way you notice me. So I don’t need a name, your target is aimed. The feeling is mutual but it wasn’t always the same.

Digging Deep
Let your tears flow if they supposed to Let your smile glow if they supposed to Put your frown on before they think you soft Let them know what they want to But don't let them know your real complexion The cry of a chimpanzee

Tranquil waves are my life, because they’re so poetic and beautiful!!!!!!! That hides my complexion in the faces of the sea… I love thee this day of creation that God gave us…. All the days, weeks, months, years, are spent by social events and just living life…. But being kept in mind these small things are my personality Author V.S.C.D.P

A True Poem
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 .

BLACK WITHOUT APOLOGY
Silent is the barred mind of a Girl of a Boy.     Colored prints of my colored prints, and America wasn’t great to those whose hands build it.     And their anthem plays on, disguising detestation as protection resentful the Sun’s never made love to their complexion.

tree your bough is resplendent with the delight that taunts me so I espy her as she grows my eyes are transfixed by her glowing complexion days go too long quell my waiting pangs coiled are my feelings her essence appealing to the taste buds provoking her skin is smooth and a flesh so succulent bring her to maturity she drives me mad with insanity ripening to her full perfection of purity longing my heart strings fracture wanting the reward ready to pick the mouth exhausts to caress her fruit

I am the bomb Why? Well just look at me Look at my complexion, dark and smooth Look at my face, so fat and cute Look at my body, plump and petite Look at my soul, so bold and free Now look at you! I love your complexion Your face Your body And your soul You the bomb too Just a little differently than me But it's still cool

Love Yourself
Perfect perfections One woman once made a connection, Not to me, but the world You see, She found the key within her complexion For her whole life she faced rejection, She wasn't "YOUR" definition of perfection Your definition of perfection, kept her from discovering her own You kept her captive by your desperation, to hurt her with your words of stone For a short period of time you destroyed her throne But now she has a voice of her own The words that are made of stone You get trapped by the sound of the drone "Perfect perfections" Today, She stares into her reflection, At her complexion And says " I have Perfect perfections"

Perfect Perfections
when the red from her cheeks vanish when her eyes turn dull only to close and rest the torn soul

Ashen Complexion
I love kissing your lips until an array of rosy pale bliss shines along your ashy cheeks breathes a sigh of relief.
