Proud sellers of the black and white
You walk through dimly corridors
You peep through curtains in the night
I’m not a customer of yours
I see full gamut of the hues
Wide spectrum of the colours
I paint the world with one I use
Until I need another
The truth is what the beauty states
I know you see it too
Turn off the light, and colours fade
Except the midnight blue.
No pixelations,
8-bit art.
The resolution of my heart
exceeds electric exhibition,
desires finer definition
like watercolors
which must

so every nuance saturates
that canvas where each life creates
its masterpiece of choices made:
those strokes of words
and deeds portrayed
outside the borders of a screen
where things unseen
subsist and mean
beyond a glassy lavish glow.
There's more to see, to show,
and know.

from greatest joys to depths of despair.
the highs, the lows, the in-betweens;
the longtime married couple
have run the whole gamut
of their life journey.
despite hardships,
they still paddle
their canoe
across
creek.

Can't stop, I'm driven to an extreme intense vision
Of power and control much like the guy on television
Lead the whole planet
To run the gamut
Making sure we're still here in our lovely subdivision
