The Colour Black


The Colour Black


A cloak of darkness blankets all that remains

Faceless shadows barely visible

Up above billboards cast an eery glow

Silence broken by the skidding subway cars

Streets transformed into frightened corridors

A grey mist labours atop the manhole covers

The colour black is all that is tangible

Evil awakes camouflaged by the obscurity

My eyes blinded by the nothingness of colour

Yet the hues of technology remains aglow

Uncertainty and fear have come to greet me

Witches and goblins more real than ever

Ghosts appear imprisoned by the cemetery gates

The living not knowing they are dying


Thank you,
Joseph Pede
