Black And White Poems - Poems about Black And White

Black and White Lies

A lie that is coloured white
A lie that make things seem all right.
A lie that leaves you asking why
Discovering those lies that made you cry.

Lies exposed, were meant as a joke
The lies that many hearts have broke.
Lies to conceal a secret love affair
The liars lie, is the truth they swear.

Scheming lies to scam for money
Lies

Black And White

We are given all the pieces
to play and indulge in life’s great feast
outrageous fortunes be dammed! 
Given full reign to  Ego’s unfettered beast
and the moves we make shall 
establish our legacy
Why are we here?
We can either dazzle with brilliance
or baffle with bulls*it
Shameless are unleashings of doubt
only makes a lesser us grow
inhibits our

A Black and White Picture

A little girl coming out of a Woolworth store.
An eye in my mind begins to clothe its sight
with a past image.

She has pink ribbons in her hair
and a blue dress,
maybe she had just come from church.
Little black child
being tugged quickly through
a disapproving, white-skinned crowd.

It is not wrong
to think of poets as painters.
We offer pictures
that can

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

The Only Thing That Looks Good in Black and White

Nothing is simple,
but we carve it clean—
label it, box it,
turn a question into a rule,
a rule into a law,
a law into a weapon,
and call the wreckage order.

We crave control,
but sharpen our knives in chaos.
We demand honesty,
but crucify the truth.
We worship free thought,
but silence it before it speaks.

We want change,
but only if it looks
like what we

Shades of Africa: In Black and White

Shades of Africa: In Black and White

Black, the ink of sorrow, stains the page,
Of slavery's chains, a bitter, endless rage.
Colonial scars, a legacy of pain,
Exploited riches, a cruel, enduring rain.
The weight of history, a heavy, somber shroud,
Where whispers of the past, speak only aloud
Of suffering and loss, a tragic, haunting refrain,
A shadow of despair, a

Old Photo

"To see in color is a delight for the eye but to see in black and white is a delight for the soul".  - Andri Cauldwell


Just an old photograph, in black and white
No dye to reflect the calm of hope’s song
Shadows blow across the heart’s golden light
Snapshot comes alive, a soul seems so strong

remembering in black and white

tv in the fifties altering weekend rituals
one set in the neighbourhood

streetboys sitting around the famous indian head
for their fill of saturday morning cartoons
sci-fi flash gordon and i love lucy
allowed to stay up on sunday nights
to watch the old ed sullivan show

always one appointed volunteer
to get up and change the channel or adjust the volume
another to

Black and White

The dark
he has no soul and doesn’t feel pain
it passes through walls and locked doors
he doesn’t even see them
he managed to capture the world
then he wanted to see
the immensity he masters
asked for and received the sight as a gift
so he saw the first sunrise
then he died for the first time

nice thought
come and enlighten
where the signs

Black and White

There are lots of things that are black and white,
Like zebras and Newcastle United, they are a good team and get their fans excited.

Penguins are mostly black and white, but some have coloured plumage too,
There are quite a few different types you can see them in the zoo.
There are lots of crows, from rooks and

Black and White

This perfect setting from the past
An era gone though filmed to last,
Strangely set a wistful thought
As memories and dreams were caught.

How love had lured me to sight
Motion pictures black and white,
To understand the story clear
Whilst living in the yesteryear.

Black and white you take me to
Nostalgia where I feel blue,
Though presently with clear foresight
Merely due to

BLACK AND WHITE

Children will  hear children will be told
Of the stories of once, in colors so bold
Only black and white are left in this world
The rest all have turned to mould
Grey is the sky, grey is the ground
The sparks up above are turning black 
as they fly around
Tears rolling down faces in monochromatic eye's
Everything is colourless

Black And White

Angels and brides do come in white.
All things beautiful, light and bright.
Demons and witches prefer black,
evil ways and means to attack.

White, pure, inspiring, eternal love,
gift of peace, freedom, and turtle dove.
Black signifies ever cold darkness 
spreading in the heart unchaste blackness.

Pretty seven colours add up to white.
Black has powers that take away the light.
