Black

Dream of love All the colors Absence of color Black and white Their beauty is absolute Perfect harmony What would the stars do If the nights were not black Streetlights would be lacking Diamonds and fireflies Need the black A funeral passes by Black cars and black hearses Draped in fading flowers The color of death I think in black Death should be The color of sunset My lover is black She says True love is or it ain't Thin love is no love at all To love and be loved Is everything It makes your soul Climb out from its hiding place Black is not sad Bright colors depress me They are empty Black is poetic It's how I imagine The poet Dressed in black...
