Colours
Colours?
Black, or, White:
Colours,
Michael Jackson,
Coffee.
Distinct -
Not a hint,
Of commonality,
In the realm of rationality!
Black and White:
Keys - on a key board,
Ministrels – on stage,
Squares - on a chestboard.
Together -
In synchrony;
One cannot be,
Without - the other!
Black plus White:
Grey,
Holy matrimony,
Creamed coffee.
Two, become one –
And, as, they merge -
A new creation:
Does emerge!

About this poem
Exploring black and white - as colours, or not? As opposites? As complementary?
