Draped in Coffee, Caramel, Cinnamon

Not talking about dessert, but she's decadently sweet.

Sugar and spice with a hint of whiskey,

Who knew Brown could be so pretty.

Sunkissed mocha skin with a bronze shimmer,

She's radiant. She sparkles. Light shines within her.

She's chocolate, diamond dusted, Black and proud.

Skin so velvety smooth, she stands out in the crowd.

Legend tells that she's magic.

Daughter of Kings and Queens.

Tantalizing and illuminating.

Candy coated and ultra melanated.

There's not a soul that can tip her crown.

That's right, let that soul glow. Skin is beautiful, golden brown.
