Ember Fire

the color of my melanin

By Chamere LittlejohnPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

My melanin

needs no introduction

it is

smooth and melodic

dipped in

caramel exotic flavors.

My melanin

resembles the color

of a

glowing ember fire

blazing though

a summers' night.

My melanin

was born to

be a

world changer and

an innovator

yes, a CREATOR!

My melanin

is a queen

crown adjusted

jewels dripping behind

as it

takes the throne.

My melanin

asks me to

love it

embrace and cherish

how it

makes me unique.

My melanin

reminds me of

just how

wonderfully and fearfully

I am

a museums' masterpiece.

My melanin

will take you

on a

journey to the

undiscovered unrevealed

timeless 8th wonder.

My melanin

speaks with authority

like a

lioness preying on

a gazelle

in the jungle.

My melanin

oh my melanin

I wouldn't

trade you for

the world,

you are love.
