In Negative

Negative - a photographic image, or the film containing it, that shows black and white tones reversed and colors as complementary

Tortuous shadows

Seal their kisses

In the celluloid reality,

And the black flames gutter
On the reel covered

With silent words.

Soundless touches

Echo back in reverse

In between the rhythmic little holes,

Loves that never happened

Light up in the mis-developed

Images-mistakes.

                      

The sun has gone in mourning

And the earth is so white ...

Inside out.

They pose in my eyes

Just for a second

A black and white

Mirror
In reverse.

My favorite lines: "The sun has gone in mourning
And the earth is so white ...
Inside out." - Love the word play/association with sun and mourning (morning).

"They pose in my eyes
Just for a second" - I enjoy the way this is phrased, inspiring, thank you

I am positively enthusiastic over the negativity here... Or is it polarity... Hmm... Black and white are my favorites in writing... So I judge harshly, but this was beautiful... A celluloid reality... Terribly wonderfully penned...
