Nubianesque

You.

Elegantly evident,

creatively, excessively attractive.



You.

The queen known to be

both

bountiful and beautiful.



Men

for the lack of a way in which

to verbalize you call you

voluptuous.



I, dub you...Nubianesque.



For the river Nile

can be seen in the

shape of your eyes.



For the mothers, mother's,

and mother land is alive in

the spectrum Sepia of your

skin tone.



For the golden brilliance

of Ra, the Sun, so evident,

in the brightness of your smile.



For the intellect of Timbuktu,

shining, so forthright

through the windows of your

soul.



For the indulgent curves of

the land from Serengeti to

the hills of Kilimanjaro.



I see in you

the reflection

of my life, my future, my love.

Always there and constant as

potential energy.  As bountious

as a lover's kisses.



My adoration is endless.  So,

be ye ever wonderful my queen.



Always beautiful.

Always bright.

Forever Nubianesque.




Author's Notes/Comments: 

The first of my more ethnic work. This poem expresses my admiration and adoration of rubenesque and voluptuous black women. While I love women of all shapes and sizes, this poem provides a mental picture to the reader utilizing African metaphor and mental pictures.

MR. HAMBY, THIS IS BRAINS 'N BEAUTY I MUST SAY I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY YOU CHOSE TO EXPRESS YOURESELF ON THE OTHER SITE BUT THIS POEM AND THE OTHER FEW THAT I HAD A CHANCE TO READ HAVE GIVEN ME INSIGHT TO SOMEONE I WOULD SAY HAS A SOUL THAT RUNS AS DEEP AS ANY RIVER AND AS WIDE AS ANY OCEAN. ANY YOUNG WOMAN WHO HAS THE CHANCE TO DATE OR MARRY YOU HAS LUCKED UP ON A TRUE GEM.
THIS POEM CREATED VISUAL IMAGERY THAT TRANSCEND THE PAGE IT WAS WRITTEN ON AND LEAVE YOU THE READER FEELING AS IF IT WAS MEANT JUST FOR YOU. WELL IN THIS CASE ME....LOL
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND AND KEEP YOU. CONTINUE DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING WRITE ON, RIGHT ON!!

PEACE & LOVE
