Words Of Photos Poem by Romesh De Silva

Thinking of ways to be normal
Capturing the moment in which we smile
Talking with photos, well-pronounced formal
Cloudy vision, it’s raining sooner than now
Artistically taking snap film shots, negatives in the making, portraits created and found
Bold colour shining through
Over-exposed contrast, unrealistic proof
Passionate revelations caught in time
Flash making fiction and truth rhyme
My vision lacks depth of colour, overdrawn,
Black and White’s brother.
