I don’t knO where I should begin – when
Describing perfect brown skin
I knO where you’re from –
What I can’t sea iz
How you got to be so near to me-
Red bone undertones rising like rivers
To the surface
Reflecting inner being like mirrors
Are their purpose
Perfect brown skin is simply
Reflecting your within
Your beautiful brown skin
How bad is this adage that says-?
Beauty is only skin deep
Can you tell me –?
How deep is your skin –?
Initially absorbed now
I’m falling within
The perfect prism
Separating, then re-blending
The colors of your rhythm
Alabama soil and Georgia red clay
Lay in your skin tones
Digging deeper I sea the clarity of the Caribbean
Still deeper I see
Afrikan hills, cliffs and plateaus
[Perfect brown skin embraces your soul]
Showing what makes blackness the nicest
Flawless like diamonds too perfect for pricesHave you ever tasted chocolate?
I did when I kissed you
You haven’t even left, but yet I miss you
Your skin runs as deep as black history is embedded in the soil of America
Reaching from the strands of your DNA
Manifesting on the surface of your reality
Becoming one with your mind, body and soul
Creating who you are
Yes it reaches that far
When I think of you
What comes to mind is
Chocolate tinted sunshine
Still full of fire and
A treat for my eyes
Your skin glows as bright as onyx
And the richness of your complexion
Satisfies my appetite more than a meal fit for a king
Do you have a napkin?
I have never seen a people, a woman,
So dark-and so mysterious
Dark skin that glows and carries a fire with a level of sincerity
And security approaching purity
Lighting my way to my destination
Thanks to you, I feel safe
When I see you, I see me
Skin as dark as mine, scarred from the harshness of hate
Abused by anger and violence
Misunderstood from not being known, because of misunderstanding
Confused from a lack of purpose, not knowing its fate
But yet, so strong in the midst of opposition
Elevating to its proper position
Expressing itself through arts,
To communicate an experience that cannot be known un-less lived
Your dark skin is the strength of a culture
The blanket of a people
Nothing is as beautiful, you come is some many color’s and shades
Because of you, I pursue-loveDiscography
