I am The Colour Black

Whenever there are no colours,

I appear,

Mysterious, powerful to some,

Authoritative and evil to most,

I symbolize grief, fear and the unknown,

I am a primordial void,

An abyss with no end.

I am as simple as I am complex,

Often overlooked,

Misunderstood by the common eye,

Given a negative connotation;

Blacklist, black eye, black humour.

It needs to be known, 

There are more vibrant shades of,

Yellow, white, purple,

Each more attractive than the last,

But I am just as outstanding,

Just as intruiging.

I am the colour that hides, 

The colour of the evil panther,

The colour of blindness, 

Loneliness and aloofness,

I am the colour of coal,

A substance worth as much as gold,

I am the colour of the night,

Vigilant and while.
