White
Is refreshing
Just like
When the sun’s
First rays comes
Through the window panes

White
Is pure
As pure
As a baby’s
Giggle
Purer than the glare
You see in those innocent eyes

White
Is peace
It’s mellow
It is a new slate

White
Is classic
It is the color
We try to use
To replace
Our mistakes
You know… Like white out

Black is the color
I choose to wear
From my tank tops
To underwear

Black
Bestows
Confidence
It embodies
All the colors
Found on a color palate

Black is connected
It is not
In the absence of
Like its
Opposite

Black is warm
It is security
It is alert
I like to paint
My creations with black
Most times
Write my name
In this undeniable ink

Black and white
When mixed together
Bring confusion
I
Stay away from
Those grey hues…
