RA Student Literary Series: Beauty In Shades

Erubescent tones of suntanned umber

glistening in the summer sun

spread across the vast majority of a balanced figure.

Beautiful mahogany,

kissed by undertones of marmalade and bronze,

glows against the monotonous shades of a northern winter.

Melanated creme fills the atmosphere

with a warm aura radiating from

a single individual.

Values deeper than the African night are highlighted

by the crisp moon.

Chestnuts and hazelnut tints fuller than the deepest ocean

flow smoother than a warm autumn breeze across graceful vessels.

Soothing cool shaded sand complexions are marbled

with a variety of brunette freckles.

These are my beautiful brothers and sisters, each blessed by God himself.

Unique in every possible equation.
