Ebiere

Ebiere, 

The darkness of your skin is blinding 

Your voice makes me cry

I melt at your singing 

Have you seen your eyes? 

Ebiere, 

I envy your bosom 

I wish I had your strength 

Your smile is blossom 

Can I touch your hair? 

Ebiere, 

Tell me why you walk like one unsure

Tell me why you smile at all and seek approval 

Don't you know you own the square? 

Don't you see the worship in their eyes? 

Ebiere, 

If I were a man I'd go to far off lands to find gifts to make you happy 

When I find them I'd race back to you so I can watch your face light up 

I'm a woman Ebiere, I  can only watch the men watch you 

My man stares after you, I can only wish I look like you
