Black and White

To mix the two together only brings gray. Battling persona. Never on cue.
For one’s never certain, which facade debuts.

Dark finely feathered, filled with lustful charades 
Hides behind a notion of monogamous filled days

Graceful creature. Godly vision in feather white
Drawling towards her a suitor. Virtuous, her guise.

Black swan cannot resist, as she struggles for breath.
White swan now removed
In his arms, they shall rest.

Ignited with such passion. Inhibitions retreat
Allow this lover. Entrance
White swans unaware of this inevitable defeat.

Dark swan found a mate, who’s passions surpass
Coupled forever. Forever at last
