The Lady Wore Black

The lady wore black,

the color of poets,

dark force with which

to be reckoned.

Powerful vibes

emanating

in noble hues.

The color of

melancholy chants

but also romantic,

not empty as

bright colors are.

Signifies water -

cleansing

of sadness.

Color of outer space

beckoning us

as far as we see.

Used by cave dwellers

to showcase

their lives.

The color of words

blackened on pages

of our existence.

Poets celebrate the

uniqueness of black

opening up

onyx realms of

creativity.
