The Black Reign

black is the great mystery
before the explosion of light
dominating a universe history
of an advancing spectrum fight

the colours of light are dancing
since the dawn of space and time
does black welcome romancing
could there be a marriage sublime

black plays it's cards close to chest
to sentient not giving much away
it's singularity they try to test
but black ensures night follows day

the sentient flirts every night
when eyes close, and black reigns
in dreams a teasing of it's fright
the soul of sentient remains

patiently black waits in the shadows
plotting it's most grave of role
to finally overcome the light it knows
in the dawning of a black hole
