My African Woman

Like a lake in the desert

Every bird wants to drink of her water

Like the Garden of Eden, flawless

Nature caresses her naturalness

Like a needle in a hay sack

May be difficult to find before the sun retraces its track

Like the African once-cherished value of virginity

Visibly scarce in this vicinity

Like a lion in the jungle

Only a privileged huntsman gets her without rumble

Beauty, character and decency to juggle

All, she combines with enigma

There, in the downtown region, I was signaled

By the virtues of the African Woman

This poem is dedicated to the African Woman, who combines beauty, character and decency with enigma. Love you, the African Woman.
