Contradicts


She sees the world in color.

He sees the world in black and white.

 

She uses a canvas as an opportunity.

He uses a canvas as an escape.

 

She lets the graphite cover her hands.

He lets the pastels stain his skin.

 

She stares at the clouds and the sun.

He stares at the moon and the stars.

 

She runs and dances in the rain the world gives.

He runs and stands in the rain life cries. 

 

She stops dancing when his vibrant eyes catch hers.

He stops breathing when her thunderous eyes catch his.

 

She smiles at the infinities she sees. 

He smiles at the end of the storm.

 

She brings life to his world.

He brings her world to life.

 

All she needs is his ends embracing her colors. 

All he needs is her infinities within his ends.
