Image for the poem O

O' dreams of technicolor


 
you speak,  
without saying a word
that silence
screams  
it's thunderous clarity  
 
directing a will  
or want  
a type of navigation  
or purposeful drumming
nonstop in  
all it's obduracy
 
convincing me  
to make guesses  
which come in seconds  
after seconds...  
 
I only realize later,  
that's the intention  
to confuse and deflect  
 
compliments  
extended to reverse palm handed  
my will and secrets  
once shared,  
seem fodder
of a truth, so contemplated  
 
disguised, baited in coy  
or just a rouse  
falling for the smooth  
the promise of...  
 
connecting to—
being seen  
having my color's plume
in your eyes of spirited  
soul bound understanding

 
is still,
how my heart  
sees  
and believes.  
 
yet, truth knows.  
 
that's its just  
the grey matter  
that didn't matter  
 
and it was always going to be  
whispers of wanted technicolor  
to the ear
of a girl drawn
 
in black and w h i t e
