Charcoal
Dark
Abscence
Black is me
Empy hollow
Feeling free
Beautiful lanky dress
Black is far from innocent
Lines the eyes
Emphasis of beauty
But what is it truly?
THe unknown is only
What is shown
Hiding in the hollows
Of one's eyes
All around the world
Black is a lie..
But isn't beauty simply
To fool the mind
Black is beautiful
Beautiful is this..

Black is truly such a beautiful enigma...
"Black is a lie" about sums it up for me. The starting is bold and stark. Well written! Good luck in the contest!
