Pomegranate, denim, lavender
Swirling, melting, enticing
Behind this mask of vibrant shades
lies a compromise of black and white
Hindering the tint from seeping in
we deny the darker hues
For a single drop of midnight paint
taints this flawless stream
Once these colours begin to bleed
our lavish façade will fade and recede
