Black Meets White
Tendrils of hair
Float over a face
Cleverly hidden
Behind a cloak of shame.
A cry in the night
A voice in the dark
Like a lurking ghost
No one can find.
Saddened, hurt
Shredded heart
Soul torn in two
bitter and confused.
Eyes dim
Tough light
Take flight
Ember rings
Saphire strings
Ebony stones of
Hardened souls.
Trustless and abused
Wrongfully accused
Sacraficial wants
Sacred love.
Cold heart
Now stomped to dust
Take flight on the
Moonlight bridge.
soar to new heights
Breathe your first breath
Love and live with out restraint.
White light
Piercing scream
Once again, back to reality.
Troubled eyes
Sorrowed heart
Only light when
Black meets white.
