black and white

black and white

you are my life

my touch stone

of softness

and lively energy

your beautiful spirit

allows me to be me

your boundless spirit and love

sets me free

you sit by me

silently

while i weep

real tears for the life that got stolen

understanding it all

without words

and when I scream out against

true injustice

you draw closer

recognising implicitly

the cry

of authenticity

that speaks to the heart

and the truth of a soul

coming to life

through the raging fires

of self love
