The Graying of these here Pink Shades

youth
the bright hues and yellow tints of youth
shimmer with a firm naive plumpness
an alluring image behind pink glasses
tints that ripen into a deep maroon red
under an abrupt, certain stare
under the visor where pleasure equals happiness
gorgeous equals flawlessness
grown
confusion and complexity,
blurring against clarity
all was either peachy or rotten
till these glasses started aging
the tints were fading
gloss now crusty and textured
set in white and gray, black and gray
plain eyes find shades in arrays
accents
a wrinkle, an involving accent
the heavy weight of dark colors hanging
at the bottom edges of eyes where tears hide
& melancholy has a crackling of pleasure
for the sweetest memories inflict mourning torture
love
eyes behold a black hole we fall into
in love
while they’re also the pools
below the highest cliffs we soar from…
in this same thing called, love
everything
in this reality everything begets everything,
each pit contains a darker or lighter version of itself
love breeds love
while hurt only gives birth to still more hurt
light perception
life’s quirks lay in the angles,
of how we perceive reality than actualities
harnessing reality through the circle of thoughts
creation in the choice of one’s spotlight
imperfect
at the onset of the graying of these pink shades
the know-it-all meets humility
in the mystery of the skies
eyes fixate on imperfection daze
humility, brokenly endearing
scars, badges of lessons learned
love, the art of letting go and holding tight
freedom, void without duty & security
courage, enough to risk breaking
bravery, a leap off the highest hills
fear the only thing to be feared
besides indecision paralysis, waiting, pain
paradox
where paradox carries the realest truth
and reason can be simply foolish
where intuition and love mark the shine at the edge of life
life purely for the sake of itself
art
the surest artform
coming alive
of contrasts, shades, hues,
emotions, choices, mystery, danger
& insanely delightfully enough even…magic
