Lost Princess
Coconut oils tame my coils
The kind seen by Persian royals
A princess so pale
Brown eyes as big
as the number on her scale
Squeeze my face
Feed me spice
Saffron and turmeric
Stain the rice
I cry and shout
Into the magazine where the girls
Stay bronzed, lean, with a perfect pout
Their catlike stare
Eyes the color of Ocean’s air
Tanned gazelles fueled by the beach
Hair the color I could only acquire
With gallons of tears and bleach
Persian princess, they say
Has grown to lose her way
Turn the flat-iron heat higher
Become an image of desire
Mama Joon and her spices
Cry out for their girl
Skin the color of pearl
