I Am the One Who...Remains!!!

I am the one whose eyes swallow you into a chocolate abyss, as you staring lost into a soul whose life has just began, but is not defined by the vessel. I am the one whose strength is defined by the arch of her back, and whose emotional burden is carried on the breadth of her shoulders. I am the one who sees the weight unbearable to carry, but still manages to stretch her neck with pride as the Ashanti princess does upon her throne. I am the one whose sexiness is defined by the thickness of her lips, where the arch curbs a taste of sweet honey unknown to the world but sacred for him. I am the one whose hips sway to an enticing beat, belly full of life but dormant until the hour when the sun rays disperse over a foreign land. I am the one whose breadth of the noes is tormented with ridicule, but who's skin is ordained with the richness of cocoa and immersed into an opulence of mahogany. I am the one whose neck snaps abruptly, face grimacing at the presence of insolence. I am the one whose cut of the eye pierces the ego, whose kiss of the teeth reeks with attitude baptized in a haughty flare. I am the one who was cradled int the bounty of love, and suckled at the teat of knowledge. I am the one who escaped the shackles of protection, and will soon stand alone faced with the day of accountability.

But it is I amongst all adversity and blessings, throughout the journey of life, It is I who's spirit remains the same, constant, in tune with the divine, edified by the fruit, at one with peace. Yes it is I who remains a beautiful black woman, African to the root, yet remains a beautiful black woman!!!!!!
