Brown Skin

a conversation with Shadow brought this poem out

 

Brown Skin

.

I love the deep culture

That lies within your skin

The inner strength

That guides your every thought

The way you are gifted

To bring dreams into reality

From spoken words

That are immortalized

With your actions

Which speaks volumes

Of your value

To me

.

I am one man who

Loves, no... adores you

From your spiritual presence

To your physical beauty

.

Every time you are around me

It feels like the sun

is reaching down

kissing me upon my lips

.

I feel your everlasting soul

Holding me tight

throughout the night

Giving me the strength to move on

this invisible path called life

.

You are my guiding light

In the middle of the night

You’re the only one

That I can turn too

When I feel vulnerable

Weak and meek

.

You’re the reason why

I can live this life

Holding within me

All shame that comes with it

For loving you comes with a price

And for me.. it is the separation

From family and friends

Who just don’t understand

.

That I love you

for more reasons

Than your porcelain skin

Blue eyes and blonde hair

It is the woman who lives within

That skin that has captured my heart

And who holds it today

And until

Eternity times ten

Abosolutely Beautiful

"And who holds it today
And until
Eternity times ten"

These words take my breath away

[Cylis Derrens]

I definitely like the images this piece delivers. Love despite diversity. It describes some parts of my parents' relationship.

[April Child]

Beautiful and touching. What a tribute and I love shadow's comment about being colourblind, what a wonderful affliction!

[Shadow]

With this piece you have struck a powerful blow for love and all those who are truly colorblind


Well Struck Sir

[Charisma Moonfairy]

This is wonderful and, as with so many others, I felt like you were talking to me and me alone minus the blue eyes and blonde hair thing. Anything wonderful piece of work my dear friend.

Love should not be hindered by boundaries created and corrupted by mankind. Good write. Love her well.
