BLACK.

So many hues...so many colours...
among them...black.
black,the shade of darkness,
the shade of nightmare,
the colur of death,
the colour of myth.


black,the splatter of night,
the robe of blind sight.
the colur of stony eyes,
the colur of artifice.

black,the mood of the last fight,
the trembling fright.
the flavour of the exasperated sigh,
the tone of the long goodbye.

black,the passing hour,
the creepy waxy tar.
the asleep baby's cries,
the guilt of a pure conscience.

black,the sorrows platter,
a whore's character.
a maniac's fears,
a war widow's tears.

black,the king of the subconscious,
the madness of the mongring menace.
a woman's needs,
a politician's deeds.

black,the long forgotten past,
the obsolete wheels turning fast.
the colour of anger,
the hollow bells of danger.

black,the lurking pain,
the regretted disdain.
the flesh churning in the grind,
the emptiness of the mind......
