Darkness

Black is the darkness that lurks in the corners,
The sky before a rainstorm.
Black is the colour reserved for the mourners,
Fear in its most frightening form.

Black is the water in the rolling deep sea,
The shadow that crawls up the walls,
Black is the cat that is unlucky to see,
It is night as the shooting star falls.

Black is the mood that is filled with rage,
That only friends can mend,
It is a colour in which morbidity's engaged,
Black is the colour of our untimely end.
