Butterscotch Skin

Butterscotch skin
I <3 the way the sun
Kisses your melanin
Deep with your lips
And then it drips
Down to your hips
And it moves slowly
Because even the sun knows
Time with you is precious.

Caramel complexion
I <3 the way the earth
Moves at your discretion
You are the reason seasons change
And why the timeless remains
And why spring comes
At the mention of your name.

The earth knows you
And has blessed you
In it’s image.

You are my favorite color
You are brown skinned
Like god made the outline
And I colored you in
And I took my time
-And I stayed within the lines
But you are more than a color
And truly no one color
Could describe your beauty

You are the color of samba
Danced by almas
Covered in palmas
Remixed and switched to salsa
El color de aire en alta montanas
El color cuando Dios te acompana

Only God could plan this
You are the color of joy
And my heart is your canvas
