Silver ebony

Silver glints on skinskin black as ebony sailedfrom African isles &oh the depth of angled eyekohl lined darkness. Skin scents sweet sandalwoodsoft melting sugar skims underfinger & I would sail theseven seas to have youby my side tonight. Silver taut on aching fleshcuts a fine but definite linebetween us: aligning planetsfor this strip of time to storein memory. Skin tint of saffron waft of chillilaughter leaps, smile that lightsgrey of everyday your skin blackas ebony & the glint of sweetsweet silver.
