Shades of Haze and Hue

Captured in shades of haze and hue
Vintage texture or bright as sky blue
Picture perfect Polaroid preserve present to past
Your eye captures the truth that will forever last

Free… clicking away, no boundaries set
But contents captured in frames and boundaries met.
You caught my frame of mind
In many frames of rhyme, 
Solitude, love confined,
Memory held captive in a frame on a pedestal of mine.
But still, I see stills of past times when I lay obediently still
To your request for mannequin movement;
Pose.
Setting to capture at future point of capture,
Jumping into shot before shutter closed, Snap!
Captured.

In shades of haze and hue
Vintage texture or bright as sky blue
Picture perfect Polaroid preserve present to past
Your eye captures the truth that will forever last

You trying to make contact with what’s beyond the lens,
I zoomed into your life beyond the contact of mere friends
And zoomed out to see the surroundings blend
Into your beauty, not theirs, How does Mother Nature comprehend
Picturesque mountainous terrain,
Firefly lit against the window that darkness cannot contain.
Gravel roads unravel loads of history, colourful yet plain.
Travelled souls, now photos told of memories gained.

Captured in shades of haze and hue
Vintage texture or bright as sky blue
Picture perfect Polaroid preserve present to past
Your eye captures the truth that will forever last
