MONO CHROMATIC EMOTION

The background speeds like a motion picture

A 40's montage of black and white

Back then life's still moments meant a lot more

Than today’s rush under technicolored light

Back then you could snatch a smile

Turn aspiration into inspiration

Cause a speed in the pulse , while

You wax in adventive isolation

Back then you could swirl with flowers

Even wear them if you so desire

Spinning the roving eye with a lash

Sparking a wish with a flick of fire

Back then a shielded eye reflected secrets

Mirrored by interspersed dark and bright

Hiding just enough to cloud wrong and right

Revealing just enough light to delight

The shadows produced by ribbons and bows

Dance under the cool protection offered

Yet can’t control the spilling curls of mischief

Cascading from a floppy crown proferred

Those were the days washed more colourful

Than the drab grey clouds of today

Filled with snapshots of unrestrained euphoria

Captured forever in a sudden sway

Beheld thus entrenched in a time long past

And drenched in a yester happiness kidnapped

The smile continues to bridge reflection

Over monochromatic emotion snapped
