Black

Black is my favorite color
always has been
the night, backdrop to the moon
the leather sofa
nylons
and that little skimpy dress
Yes!!!

Black has always been a place
a mental state
like stilettos
leather and chains
but not just any black,
whip black
like Brian Ferry's Bette Noire
Femme Fatale
eye lashes, cars
expresso, midnight and black tie

...and now that my freedom seems to return
and she is within my reach
I just couldn't resist her
not when she is dressed in black
