Black and White

Faint and fading
Dull and dimming

Smiles are pale          
Cloying indulgence had gone stale

Photographs are like sick streets
On the window pane where mist sits

Sometimes all the colors come off together
The vibrant sun can’t be captured even in the blur

Sometimes we are trees needing a cup of rain
Sometimes love is hungry without the pain
