Black is...

Black is the sun,
after a solar eclipse.
it is also the color,
of a hobgoblin's lips.

Black is the color,
of the bodies that rot.
and the numerous wars,
you happily fought. 

Black is the sea,
that was once called Red.
and the worms in the corpse,
which was where they fed.

Black is death,
that is my childhood friend.
and the color of your spine,
that I 'm going to bend.

Black is the soul,
with original sin.
a baby that's baptized,
with a hateful grin.

Black is the color,
of midnight air.
the people who walk at this hour,
don't really care.

Black is my heart,
with a threshold of pain.
where I have nothing to lose,
and nothing to gain.

Black my friend,
can be many things.
but Black to me,
is a telephone that never rings.
