BLACK AND WHITE

On-off, the sum of all thought given; a light switch is poor a choice for our soul
I'm allowed to answer right or wrong; tell me, then, what gives me power soul?

Gardens are planted meant to be beautiful places of solace to lose oneself
Colors are not the only thing; all the emotions grown within a flower soul

There's an addiction to a certain kind of sadness made by love for hate
Sadistic is the warmth given by this brand of furnace; I name it "Devour Soul"

All the rest of me is numb, but I can feel your fingertips that used to be in my palm
At least I want to believe that when you placed hand upon this granite; my tower soul

You want me to look at all existence that way, then I choose time in darkness
So when holes are poked in the aspects of light, it is revealed to empower soul

Seeing in black and white doesn't apply to tears; for absorbed, they are clear
No way to measure weight of them on scales or clock in the unit of per hour soul

What an intellectual write this is, and so deeply meaningful! I really love the way you’ve phrased thoughts and delivered this. So many lines stood out for me especially the ending. Sometimes some do say , black is the source of light, if that makes sense and i really felt the lines “There's an addiction to a certain kind of sadness made by love for hate Sadistic is the warmth given by this brand of furnace; I name it "Devour Soul" /9 powerful! Congratulations on your win. Well deserved

Thank you so very much I.E. for the gracious compliments!! I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of black being source of light. You can't see what's bright in the world and beautiful and loving without understanding darkness... Finest regards A.S. :)
