BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL
BUT NOT AS BEAUTIFUL IF NOT ON AN AFRICAN WOMAN.
WITH LONG SILKY BLACK HAIR
A FACE THAT LIGHTENS ALL GLOOMINESS.
A SMILE THAT GLADDENS THE DOWNTRODDEN.
A BODY WITH THE RIGHT CURVES, CONTOURS AND CLEAVAGES
LIKE THE SUBTLEST POETRY.
A SKIN SO SMOOTH THAT BUTTER MELTS AWAY
AND EYES SO HAZEL THEY COULD CUT THROUGH THE DARKEST OF SKIES
AN AQUILLIAN NOSE SO STRAIGHT THAT PINOCCHIO GREENS WITH ENVY
BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL
BUT IT HAS TO BE ON MY AFRICAN WOMAN
"One of my musings from back 2010"
