Black Beauty

Skin wonderful shades of brown
 shades of butter pecan,
walnut, mahogany, honey roasted
and a little coffee ground...
honey kissed and sun glistened
skin that's a visual treat
making that chocolate man take a seat
my skin is a natural part of me
part of my natural beauty
inside and out of me
that completely surrounds, see
it's the presence of my Black Beauty...
Braided hair or barely there
however I like to wear it.
Wear it down or wear it up
if I decide to pin it
my hair is a natural part of me
part of my natural beauty
inside and out of me
that completely surrounds, see
it's the presence of my Black Beauty...
My breasts are round,
just my size
enough to make my man's nature rise
and catch others by surprise
my breasts are a natural part of me
part of my natural beauty
inside and out of me
that completely surrounds, see
it's the presence of my Black Beauty...
My intelligence is a mystery
to those who don't consider me
of a class to progressively
interact in my community
but...
my intelligence is a natural part of me
part of my natural beauty
inside and out of me
that completely surrounds, see
it's the presence of my Black Beauty.
