White on Black

 Am I a shadow

And you the white chalk outline?

The sharp contrast?

The evidence of my crime?

There is only one reason for our juxtaposition

…And it is heinous

…Public

A black mark

A stain on humanity

On good sense

On peaceandclassandmovementandthoughtandhonorandsoundjudgement…

It is love

Yes--but without it (black) there is no definition--an interesting thoughtful muse!
We need black as much as we need white just as we need light to escape the dark--I feel a poem coming on!
thank you for sharing this strong verse.

:/ Ironically it's not much different when it actually happens the first time. I'm glad you got something from it. Especially something strong. Thanks for reading.

WOW. That one hit me with some punch.
