ODE TO EBONY

Skin so chocolate you can lick
Curves immaculate lips and hips
The darkness of her pupils weakens
Her gait and walk even preaches

Contours that caress the dress
Body that swings to impress
She walks to a symphony
I am a student of her complex anatomy

Intelligence with industry
Etiquette and polished oratory
She is black and proud
And she is fun and loud

A conductor in the kitchen
Because her mum taught and she listened
But she is all but a tool
And she will be all but a fool

She is daddy's princess
So she is gone if you care less
Won't stop you making some noise
But she is the first to prove a point

She guards her man with feline tendacies
So she will cat fight with energy
Last to admit my man is not good to me
But first to say but he is good for me

So I admire and study her lovingly
To understand and appreciate her eventually
She runs me diabetic on brown sugar
Till i die her lock on me is secure
