Black in my eyes,
black in my heart—
black is the sun of me.
Black is how I breathe,
black is what I need—
black is all I see.
Black as my skin;
black from within—
black sets me free.
And never this easy.
Black are the words,
black in my soul,
black is how I fold.
Black shines on me,
black spins my world,
black is the gold.
Black are my dreams;
black are the screams—
black is what I hold.
It was mine all along.
Black be my desire,
black makes me real,
black is what I feel.
Black to the touch,
black in the deep,
black is what I seek.
Black is who I am;
black is where I’ve been—
black is how I sin.
