Black and White of A Woman

Black and white of woman, or she’s brighter than the knight, a singular beauty created divine; her bravery has shown throughout time now.

The mystique in her eyes draws me back in rapture from time to time.

I can’t help but be thankful for white within black eyes, just trying to capture the light that shines in thee.

She stays looking in the mirror searching for something to see, the pain that she’s feeling, only wondering what is to be.

Breaking through her soft brown skin it’s black that streams into the eyes of people

In this stage of her life She’s been through a lot. In this season of life She’s ready to rock and roll!

This poem is inspired by a very good friend and supportive readers always. Yana Bostongirl You have given me so much inspiration. Her article Why I Quit Blaming Myself can be an inspiration to you too.
