Monochromatic

Monochromatic

red: in this labyrinth of crimson loops, desire speaks in tongues without vowels

a language born of impulse and instinct

each stroke is a breath held too long'

each curve a secret burning under skin.

red sings in spiral, in pulses,

in the veins of something unsaid

but deeply understood.

blue: like shadows dancing in deep water, these forms bend and bloom in silence,

bleu floods the canvas like memory 

cool, powerful, and infinite.

here lie figures unformed yet intimate,

rising through the silence of knowing.

it is not what they say,

but what they withhold that leaves the soul stirred.
