Love Poem: Ebony Skin

Ebony Skin

Hide your true self, lighter is better 
bound your beauty in brown shadows of regret. 
Fear your power
Fear your dominance. 
As the world, throws their lies. 
Blurred is their vision. 
Would you allow wheat among the fields 
to shade you, or
Darken clouds, comfort you
embrace what is yours, embrace your
skin.
