Love Poem: Black and White

Black and White

Black is the color of my sin 
And the color of silky night
White is the color of my repent
And the color of stars in sky

Black is the color of my skin
Once baked overdone by sun
White is the lotion I soak in
Once the sunburn has won

The white of eyes are a joy
Colorful pupils look above
Black is a heart when devoid
Of compassion and lavender love

The whitest smile so pretty
The blackest berry so sweet
Sing me a black white ditty
With a lovely maroon melody

Black and white piano keys
Take flight unite as we sing
