Achromatic Existence
Your blackness sullies my clear mind My whiteness dilutes your darkness to a neutral grey Clinging to a colorless world that has become the oxygen we breathe into this dysfunctional codependency An anemic sadness void of pigment Trust severed like an amputated albinistic limb Limping through an achromatic existence Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Reena's Exploration Challenge #147 - Colorless World Trust - Word of the Day Promote Monday Go Dog Go Cafe Image by Saurabh G from Pixabay
This one leaves me with a gut punch. Well done, Christine. 🙂
Well hi Susi ☺️ I hope you’re well. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hi! I am now but this piece took me to a place I’ve felt before. It was a pleasure to read this piece specifically because it was so evocative. 🙂
Thank you. A lovely compliment ☺️ It’s a recognizable character isn’t it?
You’re welcome, Christine! Yes, indeed. 🙂
Wow, Beautifully poignant
Thank you so much my dear Jude. You are so sweet 🥰
‘Dysfunctional codependency’ evokes so much more….

“Limping through an achromatic existence”!
Wow! So well said, Christine!❤️
You were my muse this morning Punam. I just followed your lead with a colorless world. Except yours was more romantic than my angst-filled poem 😦
Aww! Thank you for saying that. It is so wonderful, isn’t it, how we inspire and get inspired from each other. There are usually two side to any story. Both of us have given our readers that. I loved your take. 🥰
Yes it’s so true. After reading your poem my words poured out like a fountain 🥰
