Black and White

Devoid of color, this broken heart is

Black and White

by jack

 

Sadness paints in black and white

A jagged bristled brush

Strokes of paint and pain alike

A canvassed charcoal’d hush

 

Tinted sorrows fade so quick

Muted palettes share

Lingering this clouded mass

Which follows everywhere

 

Thinned of tear drop offerings

Sorrowed streaks and stains

Portraits of the loneliness

Tempered by the pain

 

Centered on a easel’s sill

Framed upon the stack

A masterpiece of loss to feel

In tones of white and black
