She’s been through the hottest fire, passed by the sharpest edges
But life hasn’t betrayed her
Even during the lonely state of being idle, her mind has only waxed stronger
Her type of woman is rare, she possesses the heart of a queen
She is beautiful
People say black is beauty
My lips shiver as I attempt to describe this royal beauty
She is bbbold, clllassy
Black is beautiful
Leticia is beautiful
Black is African, so I’d chant her eulogy in an African way
I call her Ewa, she is beauty herself
I call her Arewa, she portrays her beauty
I call her Awelewa, she’s a centre of attention for men
I call her Orekelewa, she has the charisma that makes her beauty glow
I call her Ewatomi, her beauty is just adequate
Black is beauty
She has a magical smile
The kind that heals a wounded heart
The ‘sight’ of her lips
So soft, oh!
How I wish could have them for breakfast and dinner
She has the body of a goddess
With legs as straight as rainfall from the sky
She’s so confident
A perfect work of art
She’s a priceless treasure
How I’d love to see her soon
I have seen so many beautiful women,
Yet her beauty is with a difference.
I wish I could lay claim to her heart,
but because another man has the key to her heart
… I’d rather not say further.
One last word…
She is beauty personified
