Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
Looking For
Not a man
Whose tall and dark,
Fairskinned
And has no spark,
Pretty face,
With pretty eyes,
Pretty shoes,
And pretty ties,
Flashy clothes,
And flashy cars,
Flashy things,
Hide who you are
Not a beauty
In his sight,
Not a man,
Who awes
his might,
Not a man,
Who'll love myself,
Or comfort,
And keep myself.
You,
Are not the heart of me,
Not,
My rock,
And not my tree,
Not the shoulder,
For me to lean,
Not the one,
Who'll keep me mean
Been,
And gone,
Many times before,
I was whom
I was searching for.
