Your brown skin reminds me of all the things I love

Appointed to me by Eros from above

•

Your brown skin reminds me of all the things I know

For I’ve been struck blindly by the arrow

•

Your brown skin is like looking into a mirror

In synchronicity with the pain that lingers

•

Your brown skin reminds me how beautiful I am, truly

Healing from my wounds where he sought beauty

•

Your brown skin says to my brown skin

This is where our love will begin
