• Eastern beauty,
    Gleaming ebony hair,
    Clear ivory skin,
    Eyes the color of Midnight.

    Western prince,
    Tousled mouse-brown locks,
    Freckled and tanning flesh,
    Eyes the color of chocolate.

    Northern queen,
    Elegant golden falls,
    Ice-pale flawless skin,
    Eyes the color of the summer sky.

    Southern son,
    Tightly-curled blackness above,
    Creamy blackness all around,
    Eyes the color of rich Niger mud.

    Inner heart,
    Burning passion raging against its bonds,
    Soothing love and hope taming all,
    Aching sadness and loss, loss, loss...
    In every eye there ever was.
