Analysis of BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL
Beneath the moon's soft glow, a resplendent beauty doth unfurl,
Thy ebony hue, a magnificent canvas, wherein stars swirl.
A tapestry, meticulously woven, enfolded by history's tight brace,
Radiating a majestic grace, an ineffable, potent embrace.
From the obsidian richness of thy skin to coal-dark orbs, your eyes,
A saga of tenacity, a legacy that forever flies.
Amidst trials and triumphs, resilience, thy sails,
In each heartache, in every toilsome trail's details.
Thy blackness, a mellifluous symphony, the soul's refrain,
A jubilation of vigour, rendering hearts whole again.
In life's rhythmic dance, thou art a vibrant, awe-inspiring art,
A masterpiece forged in love, an opus of the heart's chart.
So, clasp thy ebony close, let its brilliance brightly shine,
For within its enchantment, the world's hearts do entwine.
A reminder to all, in each perspective's grandeur view,
Thy black, exquisite and enduring, forever true.
