She - A Woman of background, culture and color. A woman who carries pride in her strides, and triumph on her shoulders. A set of thick lips of velvet , thighs of steel, eyes of molten honey, and skin smooth like butter, and roasted to a sensuous melanin complexion. He - A Man of proudness and honor. An anti-traditionalist, stripped of the ideas that were called righteous. Taboo marks his name, in blood his own blood that he cannot wash. His skin pale as the moon and rosy like petals of the spring, the spring that only SHE, can bring him to. He who finds great euphoria and bliss at the sight of SHE, who captures his bare eyes and stolen his manhood.
