You were my May hummingbird,
& how fast you flew amazed me.
When I fell in love with you,
I always thought you'd stay.

Then the weather became much colder,
& how fast you fled amazed me.
The last time that I saw you,
I begged you not to leave.

He became my December cardinal,
& how bright he was amazed me.
When I started to fall for him,
I feared that he would flee.

Then the seasons changed again,
& how he stayed amazed me.
I found I was in love with him,
when I went to set him free.

He is my December cardinal
who stayed all the way to May.
& he never flew as fast as you,
but he never flew away.

for the one who never flew away.

He was opportunity, a fresh blank canvas.
                    leaving the artwork to her imagination.
She poured herself onto him leaving
                    everlasting evidence of her existence.
He learned to love her remnants of ink as his own.

Her hands were capped with the soot of her past
                     like charcoal-burnt regrets that wouldn't wash away.
Through all her stresses, he saw form a diamond.
                     risen from ashes of melanoid memories
to become his pearled future.

Now there was never a pair so oxy-moronic
                       as the two who lived in perfect dissonance.
With his heart so pure for a soul so tainted
                        they were one as black and white.

yet their love was never grey.

a project on opposites.
