Analysis of Beauty stings
Beauty stings
Beneath the angry waves of the sun
is a beautiful face
Shining captivating like a canvas
Painted in my favourite coat of colours
The giggle on this face
Beat the loving sound of the bata drum
To which i dance and dance
Body coated in sweat
Mind occupied in trance
I get carried away
My eye blinded to the intrusion
Of cupid and its wicked arrow
My dance step fail and i fall
Painfully into the unconcerned
Arm of love
