I am the daughter of my father

The color that bled into me

Seen as olive; beautiful

With his darkened skin


He is covered in small scars

Lighter marks lying across his skin

To remember his stories

That is why his life is not work


His hair is peppered

Brown, so dark, almost black

Coarse as it runs with striking silver

Licking the neckline of his shirt


His eyes are dark stones

Calculated, but full of passion

Because a rock won't burn

In just any fire


This is what I am from
