Monochrome: A Poem – 26//09/19

 Imagine:
 Life as we knew it but in monochrome
 the moody film noir of everyday monotony 
 seeping grungy gunmetal greys into our retinas
  
 Sleek stallions on a merry-go-round with eyes bulging
 reflecting the wild freedom of living under a cape of black and white 
 anonymity.
  
 Situations take on a dramatic hue
 the chaser, the chased, 
 through damp dingy dimly lit alleyways
 where there reveals a girl resting on her stomach and chest
 whiling away her monochromatic days.
  
 With glances so beguiling
 inviting to those who wish for nothing more than 
 precious time with her
 her histrionic hair-brained schemes in shadowy scenes
 could blow your mind away
 break you into two.
  
 Although she will not present
 will not allow the lure to become
 for her method of amusement in this monochromatic world
 has only a small intent and then a little some
  
 To amuse herself
 to play in the growing gloom
 to pass away the time until hopefully
 the sun will rise against the hollow faced pitted white moon.
  
 To return the world into one of colour and life,
 nothing chased, nothing desired,
 nothing overly and willfully needing to be satisfied. 
  
 Where an explosion of rays will cast over the 
 previously dismal days,
 and relinquish all from monotony and return us to 
 brightness and joviality.
