But the stars are Red.

Can you hear the sound,
The sound of Harmattan wind,
He is not gone yet.

Sunlight rays piercing
Through the blackness of my skin
Into my black soul

TODAY IN HISTORY
On this day 2010, my Muse left me only to return 3 years later on this day 2013.
The last thing I wrote before she left on 10 Dec, 2010 was titled, "IN MY ROOM".
And the first thing I wrote after her return was titled, "THREE YEARS GONE BY".
Will be posting both works soon. Let me revisit my archives to unearth both.

THERE WAS BLACKNESS (SONNET)
By Farinz Amani
So in the beginning there was Blackness:
Before there was light, before there was life,
Before anything was, there was Blackness,
Blackness was everywhere, Blackness was rife;
Blackness is beyond time, not created of course,
Was pure, original, never sinister;
She dwelt with her fraternal twin sister
Aqua, both wedded to God's active force.
But a time came, Blackness was lost in light,
For those who bore her forgot she came first,
Before light and life, before wrong and right,
Before all that's good or evil, blessed or cursed;
Blackness existed before the beginning,
Blackness is where we all find our meaning.
