BLACK

It’s a long road
A night-time venture, blinded by trust
Black sees through the pain and troubles
And sees you are searching too
Even though the night sky, is black.

Black is not an enigma
Like this very nightfall
Or, his own downfall
When darkness seemed to engulf him whole
And deepen the darkness within.

Black is none, or neither of these
For darkness is not intended
To remain hidden, out of sight
Darkness is an invitation
For self-discovery.

Black is neither nebulous or a shade of grey
Black can never fade
Into obscurity
Or obscure his own efforts to rediscover love
Of this, Black can be certain.

Black is direct and directed
And makes his intentions clear
He himself, is beyond compare
Not a captive of reason alone
Black travels light.

The night knows how it got here
Night-shade knows all colours in its composition
Like a painter, he lets the layers, story-tell
A master of tone and colour-collide
Black is reflective.

Black does not hide behind smoke-screens
Smoke-haze is but a sign of his fire,
His smouldering, sensual passion
That will not extinguish or expire
Black is alchemy.

Black can be relied upon to open
Portals into outer worlds, alternative worlds
To see what lays beyond
Learning that dark matter is alive with love
Daring you to explore inner worlds, waiting patiently.

Black looks at the world
Through the sands of time
He knows there is always light after dark
That there is a spark of light in each dark moment
Gifted, with wise temperance, is Black.

Black has earned his stripes
He navigates with respect
Quietly, defiantly, sailing unchartered seas
Following his intuition, aligned with his heart
In-step, he follows each beat.

A poet, Black speaks beauty
Not content to merely describe ‘beauty’
Or show and shower you with beautiful things
Black connects with beauty
Ever-curious, he seeks to behold your own.

Black’s power is in his purpose
Beside him, you must hold - your own
He will not make you his servant or side-kick
He will partner you, paint you - dance with you
Black knows how to Tango.

Black is a clear lead
You can trust him
To take you farther and deeper, than ever before
He serenades
You into safety.

Leading you to a space
A safe space, a sacred space
Where you are both free
To explore the soul, to discover the soul-unite
That others may never be invited to see.

It is they who are in the dark.
Black Tango trusts you.
He may seem larger than life
But he is also beacon of light
Leading you safely, to discover he.
