Afolabi Muideen Poet Rhyme

Black

For life in my life I rebuff you; evil you are
You are sinister – black is your emblem
You are sadness; gloom is your offer
You are undying... world's enemy
With no invitation you come to who you will silently
You are elephant, devourer of stream
Of happiness; I need not your hand in my way
Come ~ happiness, blissfulness and gleefulness I am here

For contest: unbearable beauty in pick your colour.
