brown flesh

[october.29.2007.1:59am]

"your precious, precious, precious, baby dark skin tone..."
-lauryn hill



a genesis manifested
through low self-esteem
brought to existence
from walks upon
concrete sidewalks
of the streets of
acceptance of self.

lying idly in
her skin she
illuminates the crevices,
curves, slopes,
valleys of the stretch
of brown that consists
of her.

naked her love of
self is;
its unclothed, bare;
theres no need to
shy away from
such joy;
a joy found
within the depths of
one's soul.

caress with
hands meant to
explore and offer
pure intimate bliss.

fingertips shall tread
softly;
touch with caution;
enter with passion
with an intention
to inhale the beauty of
a rare canvas.

paint your essence
onto such a brown
surface;
create art worth admiring;
create love worthy of
reciprocation.

shes content with
her image;
molded from an
aesthetically inclined
force's vision;
gladly residing
in her flesh.
