Darker Than Night 02-18-17

For a contest

It screams caution, and death, should you not mind it's warning.

It is unwelcoming, unforgiving, uncaring.

It is cold- to the touch, to the senses, to the mind.

It is darker than a nighttime sky unadorned with jewels.

It is as dark as the seed of sin within your heart.

It is cold. It is sinister. It is malicious.

And yet, for all its power,

It cannot exist without light.

I love this! How you took this color, and gave it a personality. Not only is it evil, but it's malicious. Such a contrary to light, a contrary to color at all. But you gave it a name, and and made a villain, as dark and as evil as can be. I love that, how in every line, You add personification or thought to this color, as if it were a human, an antagonist in a book, a character too evil to be the hero. I'm also very fond of the descriptions you used, how the nighttime sky with twinkling stars, is even brighter than this color. How it is the definition of sin in a beating heart. Cold to the touch. Blew me away, the last two lines, when you stated the dark truth. For no matter how wicked this color may be, It can only exist with light. Without light it is powerless. This was a very thought evoking piece. Absolutely amazing.
