Black & White
Photographs, all black and white
Reminiscent memories
Trapped inside this suffered tone
Hues of distant destinies
Crooked edges, smoother faces
Passionate porcelain dolls
Ancient dust, its lamination
Emotions spread to call
The feelings fall right off her face
On to holding hands
Pictures hold a thousand tears
Where this moment now can stand
Stand before the age's expansion
Where senses cease to abide
This snapshot screams its purpose
Its sensation still alive
And yet passing eyes will decline
This photo's burning message
They see the past, in black and white
Yet I still see colors vivid
