Colored skin


OH how you glitter and sparkle 

Oh my darling how your melting slowly in time 

Oh how your  red pops to enhances your shine

Oh how your white is clean and clear 

Oh how Your smile brighter 

Oh how your dripping in fifty shades of chocolate

Oh My love for you are Melanated

Oh how you are A women of color

Oh how your confidence is at its high 

Oh how you never walk but strut and rise 

Oh how she says "It's called confidence" so sweet 

Oh how your skin is more than your canvas

Oh how your skin is your armor of pure ageless beauty 

Oh how you are colored
