Brown Skin

Kissed by the Sun, as if

You were brewed in melanin

Representation of everyone from

Nefertiti to Yemaya

I love your Brown Skin

A gem more precious than anything

Known by man

A gift from Oshun

I want to bless you with

The desires of your heart, and

I am to plant my seed in the soil

Of your soul only after

Tilling in the midday Sun,

Then can I reap, and

Bask in the glory that is a

Bountiful harvest of Oko

I love your Brown Skin!

Drenched in melanin

As if Olorun opened the heavens, and

Poured into you

I love your Brown Skin

Rich like the soil of the

Congo river basin

sweet like Mango

juicy as Marla

nourishing to my soul

I love your Brown Skin
