Different Layers of Black Skin
The different layer of black skin
See My roots run deep
deeper than the curves of my mouth
and the width of my hips
she slips in the room smooth as melted chocolate
her wide eyes sliding from side to side in silence
her brown lips are a collection of melodies
within historical centuries
from back home
she sung tunes ...
you know what
I am Aphrodite
The African Goddess
My black is beautiful
along the lines of divine
and the midst of classy
It is passionate
It is rebellious among all negativity that surrounds it
Their are generations stemming from her roots
highlighting every strand of a black woman
You can see that I speak for my culture
When I tell you my black is beautiful from the kinks of my hair
to the balm of my feet
i am a descendant of unique masterpieces
my black beauty is powerful
It cannot be denied or contained
when i look in the mirror
i see the jewels across the crown of my head
and my eyes smiling
within the creases of my mouth
