La Morenita Posted April 18, 2002 This is a poem I found while searching the internet for somali cultural sites. I hope you nomads like this as much as I did. Black Beauty just like me... You carry yourslef with such divinity So as not to care that others see your supreme feminity With skin so deep brown complexioned And eyes of a light brown confection With lips of a strawberry hue And hair made of curls oscillating in a unique groove With curves so round and sublime That a sculpter could never construct in the abbyss of time With a voice so appeasing and craystal clear.. That one would forever wish that hum in their ear With a knowledge base so profound That what your mind lurks can nowhere else be found Black beauty just like me... Maybe in time the world will learn to embrace your perplexity But for now you will remain a Somalian deity Consuming the eyes of those who glance your way with utter passion You bring to this world a certain enigma As you display to the world your lesson... That life can be hard but you stay strong and keep your essential duty Keep family,culture,religion and love Because your a magnanimous blakc beauty just like me By Ilhaan Qassim TextText Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
