Nigerian Queen
December 13, 2016
From the kinky hair to the heels of my feet
Dark chocolate covering my body like velvet
I love it,
This is my shield.
My smooth cocoa lips
Pressed by none
Enticed by many
Hot chocolate!
The alluring motion of my body,
Swaying against the wind like clock work.
Hypnotizing.
Bold like Crimson angels,
Descending from the heavens.
Searching for a Miracle
My Fortune.
My journey telling eyes
Black like the night sky
With stars shining in then
A glow,
My Autopoiesis Glow.
History placed on my shoulders
Heavy,
Like the pride of my ancestors
My Strength.
The slight curve in my hips
And shape of my bust
Is Beauty
Miss cleopatra
African queen
Where my story begins
