Now if you ask me! I would
say the color white is not bad
at all though bland it is the basic
color to make the grayscale
pale to steel
By now I am asking why tan?
you accomplish shades of tan
sometimes a honey brown if you
use the right oils
must be nice for you to spend the
whole summer able to see the
world’s darker side with a face
reflected in your own burnt umber
stage
Don’t change the color of your eyes!
stop putting those hazel contacts in
that glistens with shades of green
Your own eyes are beautiful the gray-blue
it says you.
You’re like a flower
sensitive way down to the root
not sure whether you should squander or sleep as a stale tall blonde should you just cover your face and weep?
Were two of the same
you're like the sky
cascading with milky gleams of
star kissed twinkles
I am the essence of Earth
tall brown ruffled like the steadfast oak tree and I know the language of every leaf
Where both just women one know lesser than the other just women that tend to watch too many commercials from a TV world
that we try to build around what’s really real
you see it’s just the black and white of it
like you and me
Yvonne Coleman-Burney
