The years lose colour,
Time measures null-
Memories beckon,
Some only to forget,
Some to remember,
Sentiment runs for cover...
Dark and brooding,
Alluring, impenetrable,
Gasps devoid of feeling,
Jaded nights of insecurity,
Quiet nightmares, screaming silence,
Striking kisses, weeping mirth...
Unsure and vague,
Yet constant, straight-
Those moments, calm and shy,
When ambiguity brings solace,
Those encounters with faith,
When everything's out of position,
Those tests of endurance,
When potency is no measure...
Pure and whole,
Fragments of every colour,
Specks of frozen time,
of bliss, of valour,
Those sways of judgement,
Falling to intuition,
Those never-believed-in,
Consuming throes of passion...
A tale told in grayscale,
A polaroid-
Of an entire life,
Of validation, of negation,
Discarding
Scarlet, cerulean, and emerald,
-Anger, dejection and envy-
A concise side of a story-
Black, White and Grey.
Author notes
Just my interpretation of the colours black, white and grey.

"A polaroid-
Of an entire life"
"sentiments run for cover", "Jaded nights of insecurity"
each word strikes so hard! And the end was just perfect.
