La Diosa Morena

a poem about the beauty of a woman, the power of being a goddess

 

I am a black goddess

From my chest to my hips to my thighs and feet

Perfection is born. Making my way through life with finesse

There’s no reason for me to hide and be discreet.

I’m a chocolate tower of exquisite taste;

Every time I speak, I spit wisdom.

It would be a shame for all this to go to waste.

I’m so pure it hurts because it’s divine

Pushing through life like a blessed tornado

And always grinding to get what’s mine.

 

I’m only what my mama gave and my Creator made

I bet you never met a woman like me

So intelligent it hurts, so charming it works

And all the boys and girls buzz around me like bees

Drawn to me.

And I understand only a few can say

All of these bold, unbridled words.

Don’t worry, I’ll back it up, take your bet, hit the jackpot

And for this you may think me absurd

Which would be your prerogative and fine.

 I’ll turn on my smile

And be what my mama gave and my Creator made;

Still a black goddess.

Reviews

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

And modest too. What a woman. Phenomenal woman?

[The Golden Orb Weaver]

Very beautiful it is reminiscent of Maya Angelou who if anyone do you draw on for inspiration?
Is this the final adaptation?
It might benefit from parallel grammar structure.
Do you take or teach classes or is this recreational?
I like the lyrical nature of the prose.
