TABLE TURNS ☝️☝🏾

STANZA 1

She no longer asks the mirror,

Who the prettiest girl is

She no longer bothers the crystal ball,

Who it thinks, the most fairest is

She confidently accepts who she is-

by staring at it

She flaunts her reflected beauty,

by just taking a selfie

And with just a click,

The world hears of this Eve


STANZA 2

In her tweet,

she proclaims that she is a beauri and a ten

She is well built and proud of the woman,

She is becoming

This is the story of the 21st century girl


STANZA 3

But has she conquered her fears?

Is she aware of the ill thoughts of her peers?

Is her heart tough as a haven?

To shelter her from evil ravens


STANZA 4

Is she prepared to face?

those horrid comments on her space

For the outside world,

Doesn’t give a damn

When it comes to breaking,

Wrenching and eating hearts.

  BLACK APPLE Source_@ 2020Photography Your body type, Falls in line With your heavenly vibes, And seducing styles Your risky rides, Deafens my cries It comes as a pleasant rhyme, Sweeping me away like the ocean tides I am alive, Because of your dead lines I have arrived, At your landmines Nobody has survived, Your breath-taking eyes That’s why I confide, In what lies between your thighs Your sparkling black hair, Seems to absorb every light Your glittering sight, Paralyzes me in a wheelchair You look ravishing ever, As the stars in the skies You are a bad weather, To any incoming flight Your nine wonders, Conquers Just y our four corners, and my staff concurs Your rare fruit, I can’t refuse Your set dues, I pay without any excuse Your innovations, Call for a standing ovation They are way beyond my imagination, A spellbinding situation Black apple, You sparkle You have us shackled, In your dreaded jungle.

Lurking in the minds of mankind Leaching his soil bed of spirituality, Leaving behind stubborn stains of evil Lust to me shall forever last II U know why, Universally, God is the reason Unique creations made by him, Undoubtedly marvels me Underscoring this, he created lust as well Upsettingly, I can’t help myself from his creations III So what I say best is Akhtabhir!
