Divine power, comes from

Her.
She. 
Moves and flows through the world. 
With her curves,
hypnotizing.
Like honey dripping from a spoon.
Curves that never end.
Curves that never go unnoticed.

Skin like cinnamon, butterscotch, honey, chocolate
smooth,
glistening skin.

Skin that makes you wish you could taste and smell

Through your eyes.

Eyes that you are so grateful to have

To see

Beauty.

Divinity.

From the top of her crown, 

She is.
Queen.

To the soles of her strong feet.

She embodies power.
She sways to her own beat,
She creates magic.
She is magic. 

Created from her ancestor’s spirits.
blood. 
She is a creation. 
Masterpiece.

Like art, she is enriched with 

Colors, sounds, smells. 
Smells 
of jasmine, sage, passion fruit. 
cocoa butter.

Her power is strong.

She is divinity.
