Dark Beauty

Fullness
	Lusciousness
		Rhythms
			Grace

Pure
	Essence
		Core
			Simplicity

Complex, Rhythms, Brilliant Light

Dark Beauty

Deep Ecstasy,
	Moist Kisses
		Open Lips
			And Arms

Flesh
	Touch
		Taste
			Tears

Dark Beauty 

Open
	Direct
		Honest
			Razor-edged

Dark Beauty

Hands that hold
	And Stretch
		Unmovable Mountains
			Crossing Oceans

Dark Beauty

Eyes that Pierce
	Laughs that awaken
		Tears the fertilize
			Anger that builds

Dark Beauty

Dark skin
	Wide hips
		Darting eyes
			That kill

Darkness that holds
	Sustains
		Molds
			And tears apart

Darkness that is a woman’s heart
	Raze a continent
		Comfort a child
			Hold a nation

Dark Beauty

Moonlit kisses
	Soulful sounds
		Quiet tears
			That shout
		And shaken

Dark Beauty within
	Forever abound

Push and pull with history
	Dark Beauty
