Black On Black Poem by David Smart

Black On Black



Monstrous shapes against the splintered night
Black on black.

Pachydermous movement, ponderous, ponders.
Ice and fire.

Noise unceasing, endless, lost in depths of night.
Roars of lion.

Psyche cringes,
Id triumphant,
Libidinous urges
Bring blushes to a maiden's cheek.
