Digging the earth,
A black diamond found in the dirt
So precious and rare
Like a coat in an icy cold winter ...
Or a water fountain in the middle of the Sahara desert
That quinches a real man's thirst
A black princess with nappy hair
Dimples on both sides of the cheek
Colgate smile and sparkling eyes
With a cotton heart, very soft, warm and sweet;
has a thing for Lylies and daisies
No piercing or tattoos,
No makeup or fancy shoes--
Very elegant, yet simple
Very intellectual and yet professional;
and Knows how to cook some good soul food
Essence of a black woman ...
Never advertise her perfume
but knows its value--
independent, yet dependent too;
has a strong character but not overly too rude
Spontaneous and down to earth,
Love a little hardcore, and still enjoys the blues
Coca cola curve as her body sways ...
Not too religious but spiritual;
Very beautiful, inside and out

Like a coat in an icy cold winter ...
Or a water fountain in the middle of the Sahara desert
you started this very beautifully but then you suddely made it as if it was a song
with rhymes and all
I think it kinda messed up the feel from the beging
but I was amazed at this line from that first stanza
like a coat in an icy cold winter
made convert "icy cold winter" for something else
cold has many other vocabulary
naw mean?
but I love the background its very inspiring...
-
Very beautifully presented here. Full of emotion and great imagery, with of course true, honest intentions.

You have an amazing way with words, It makes your hert flutter.You muyst have loads of girls after you. wonderfully written.

Brilliant and Truthful!
Oh Mr Macintoch, your words are so beautifully exquisite it makes my soul swoon. I think you've described me to a T. The only difference between me and this 'Black Diamond' is that I don't really care for Lylies and daisies. I love roses and exotic flowers that look and smell beautiful. My goodness, what a gorgeous background you've choosen for such a precious stone. Thank you for sharing and stopping by my HP.
