Black On Black



Black on black, a color so dark
A hue that's mysterious, leaves a mark
A shade that's elegant, yet so stark
A contrast that ignites, a creative spark
Like the night sky, on a moonless night
Black on black, no hint of light
A canvas so vast, a sight so right
A timeless beauty, that's pure and tight
It's the color of shadows, that never fade
A cloak of secrecy, a charade
A feeling of depth, that can't be weighed
A world within a world, hidden in shade
Black on black, a cloak of mystery
A color that's bold, in all of its history
A void that's deep, yet full of complexity
An enigma, that's beyond all imagery
It's the color of power, of unwavering might
A symbol of strength, in the darkest night
A force to be reckoned with, a sight to ignite
A force that's unstoppable, an eternal fight
Black on black, a color of depth
A shade that's timeless, knows no death
A hue that's bold, with nothing left
A tone of resilience, that holds its breath
Like a raven's wings, flying high
Black on black, a sight to mystify
A symbol of grace, in a world of lies
A reminder of truth, that never dies
It's the color of secrets, that remain untold
A shade of magic, that's forever bold
A cloak of protection, from a world so cold
A color of wisdom, that never grows old
Black on black, a color of allure
A palette of emotions, that's pure
A canvas of possibilities, that's for sure
A spectrum of feelings, that will endure
Like a knight in armor, dressed in ebony
Black on black, a symbol of chivalry
A guardian of justice, for all to see
A protector of honor, for eternity
It's the color of elegance, in its truest form
A shade of sophistication, that's always warm
A touch of sophistication, in the middle of a storm
A beacon of hope, in a world that's torn
Black on black, a color that's divine
A beauty that's rare, a treasure to find
A tone that's pure, in a world so blind
A masterpiece of art, that's one of a kind
So let black on black, be your guiding light
A color that's bold, in the darkest of nights
A symbol of strength, that burns ever bright
A hue of beauty, in all of its might.
