grayscale

whilst developing a pochade,
so unlike the greek orchids
the sky pours
initiating a single door,
towards the fated fatality
with no special appearance from a beloved divinity

then nights sound as
do the specific percussions of a pianist,
none has
the potential to resist
in agony we submit
to the last few to reach the summit

seven years now,
we rock on chairs like grandmas weaving for eternity
bothered by life's longevity
waiting still for the children
who somehow
ran away from home,
and she knows they now wither and roam, running like ink on stained pages,

i've sat here patiently for ages
and though young,
i have sung
enough
to know what rage is,
and pretend to live on
and pretend to not know
that ships sunken this low,
never get found, never return

as my colours, my potraits
of the children
potraying
the real saviors sits
the downpour hinders in
complementing the fates,
washing over everything in grayscale
as my cardiac stitches open and ache,
and i purposefully take
a handful of the blood oozing out
complying a reflection of me, lout

scrubbing it all over the art,
i stare at my vermillion leaking heart
it took all of me
to hide the grayscale,
so i sat there again
unmoving, through the heists and hail
lingering at the lonely lane

occasionally, a few droplets through windows leaked
and the place reeked
of organs and paint and me
consuming, till i no longer could see
any sight
besides
the torment in this chair
and the touch of grayscale filling up my hair,
with no more colours to spare
the despair resumed
the grayscale won
merciless and fair.
