Shade Seduction: A love Letter to Brown Skinned Beauties
This poem is part of a short series of poems desired to make women of color fall in love with their shade of sexy.

To my brown skinned beauties,
You are the brown sugar that makes life sweet
The chocolate ice cream on a summers day
The raw earth that grows flowers and trees
And the milk chocolate in a glass
You are the peanuts in the snack jar
And the almonds roasted over the fire
You are the spicy gingerbread made at Christmastime
Or the warm hot chocolate on a winter day
Smooth as Suede
Tan like the leaves of autumn
Sultry like brown mink fur
To my brown skinned beauties,
Who were told their brown skin was too much
Just remember
When it comes to chocolate,
The world can never get enough
