Life bred a multitude
of spectra
within a vast expanse of thoughts
you rested eternal
in an infrared perspective
giving birth
to an ultra violet child
we were
black and white
without the satisfactions
of a gray area
in a desperate sweat
we once toiled
to penetrate brick walls
built solely by our reasoning
becoming casualties of a war
that should never have
been fought
in our battles
we were left
weary
holding blood stained cloths
in bitter surrender
we suffered
but not without blame
now my dreams,
they rest in peace
remaining black
and white...
still left
and still right
though now
an arms length apart

I loved it, it was so vague sounding, but you still had a distinct idea as to what you were getting at. I loved the imagery.

A good poem that you have written here.

This one is captivating...
so strong in voice and leaving its revelations
in muted tones so as to be bent to other's
perspectives. The use of colour to bring it across
is an added bonus for me as I feel colours
enhance words for all the sensory.
Thank-you so much for sharing this wonderful gift.

A very 'feeling' kind of poem, written so expressive of ones thoughts looking back, yet in the 'now'
This is a brilliantly written piece, very thoughtful, Superb!!
