SOMBER SLATY AFRICAN LADY

SOMBER SLATY AFRICAN LADY

Somber slaty African lady

Take a pew upon the island

Of this feeble-like but willing

Soul of mine

My love is full and with you

Alone will share.

Somber slaty African lady

You are as beautiful as the little

Berries of the field

Words as sonorous as of the nightingale you speak

Your voice echoes within like the slight sparkle

Of lightening after the rain

Searching the core ambience of my fading soul.

Somber slaty African lady

Mother Nature has thrown a hissy fit

Because I said to her

“None of your offspring is as pretty

As my lady”

Your beauty is purer than the

Purest of golds.

Somber slaty African lady

Stay a little while longer

And a day more

Until an unending forever

I’m loving each day

As it passes by

Only because you are here.

Somber slaty African lady

I’ve laid a wreath by the hill side

There we can spend each autumn’s night

Savouring the warmness that comes

From me to you

Lend me a hand for the morrow to come

And I will make you a woman of worth.

Somber slaty African lady

Stay a little while longer

And a day more

Until an unending forever.
