Skin Deep

Hey you,
Beautiful eyes
Blue, Green, Smoky Brown
Swirling with emotion
Brighter than the brightest skies

Oh Eyes, don’t peep
Looking for something deep

Hey you,
Golden tan
Skin of strawberries and cream
Rich Chocolate Brown
I see you in my dream

Oh Heart, don’t leap
Looking for something deep

Hey you,
Blonde beauty
Hair as soft as a silky curtain
Henna rich, Charcoal black, Chestnut brown
Gotta put my hand through that for certain

Oh Hands, don’t creep
Looking for something deep

Hey you,
Slim and sexy vixen
Muscle bound hunk
My blood’s a-mixin’
You kno’ I’m sunk

But…

For all your perfection
Eyes, Hair, Body, Complexion
How is your heart?
A shiny mirror reflection
Of your God-consciousness
Or
Blackened to the core
By worldly selfishness?

Cos…

I’m playing for keeps
So I gotta look deeper
Much Deeper…
Than just Skin Deep

Inspired by an extract from our Beloved Nabi’s (saw) last sermon: “There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab and for a non-Arab over an Arab, nor for the white over the black nor for the black over the white except in God-consciousness. All mankind is the progeny of Adam and Adam was fashioned out of clay.

So, Dear Reader, can you look deeper …deeper than just Skin Deep?
