Black and White
My Lover,
did you know
every color exists
between only two,
Just as
we have existed
between just two,
and looked
into each other.
It’s been years
in a straight line.
And today,
I saw and heard
your words—
These words
from the past.
They feel different
but they still have
their power
as when you first
said them—
when you would
fall at my feet.

Oh thank you so much, my earth brother. And yes, it was all that time years ago when he sent me that link. I found it again today, and went to see if the link still worked. When I heard the music begin, the poem came out as if my head had split open.

The economy of these lines perfectly contrast the deep well of emotions that move beneath their surface. It is the essence of poetry. Beautiful work Jade.

I love how the picture flows into the quote into the title into the poem into the linked song.
Your words’ economy reflects your mastery of the Japanese short forms. How graceful, how wonderful.

I love the simplicity of this poem which is something that made me feel the love you share.
Just shows how declaration of love do not need to be verbose and exaggerated, it just needs to feel human and you made that happen here.

Layla.., I’m so sorry I missed your wonderful words when you first commented and then the recommend! I was getting ready to enter this piece in a competition, and found your long lost comment. Must be a reason for when these things happen, but I’ll never figure it out, beautiful poetess.
