A Portrait of Beauty

Within my thoughts lie a portrait of beauty

Set against

a backdrop of midnight blue where dimpled stars kiss the light of the moon

I see you

Mirrored is the reflection of a smile

treasured and cradled in the bosom of mother earth as a child

you've inherited the mystical powers of your

ancestral fathers

captivating the world as one

I see you

painted in hues reds, yellows, greens and blues

musicians play a song written by your memories and

favorite tunes

and your locs ballet within the wind

your soul begins to

illuminate

the backdrop of midnight blue where dimpled stars kiss the light of the moon

I see you

with the precision of a flock of birds

your lips perfectly form nouns, adjectives and verbs

into verses of sweet poetry within

my backdrop of midnight blue where dimpled stars kiss the light of the moon

I see you

within my thoughts lie a portrait of beauty.
