African Goddess(work in progress)


Molded like a goddess
Heat that turns grey into scarlet
Subtle seduction greater than that of any harlot
take a a sea-lost sailor, far inland 
To watch you walk away would be his end
No riches no treasures would be able to mend
His gaping wound, his thirst that a thousand rivers may not quench
