My hue


Black isn't my choice, 
But the fearful beats of my voice, 
That trains the pure course of my worth, 
Which curls out painted soul I was birth.  

If being drunk isn't true, 
Nothing would be blue. 
When sense isn't a black dove, 
The soul no doubt lacks love. 

Every sense been played a game, 
Do sponsor other's fears aflame. 
No one is ever wise, 
Until thy foolishness is in loves baptize. 

Truly, no foolishness is a waste, 
Naked are thy knowledge not braced. 
Black is beauty, 
In its abuse,  I've adopted my duty.
