chiaroscuro

paula cole

goya and el greco

gogan and vango

painted light and darkness

chiaroscuro

imagine we were a painting

a woman and a man

two lovers on the canvas

one is white and one is black

oh darkness and light will be married tonight in chiaroscuro

your body on mine two colors combine in chiaroscuro

velmir and valasqez

rembrant and ruso

painted perfect union

chiaroscuro

the man and the woman

the knife and the spoon

the zylem and the phloum

the sun and the moon

oh darkness and light will be married tonight in chiaroscuro

your body on mine two colors combine in chiaroscuro

how we lived a secret life from racist eyes

you said i wouldn't understand you any way i tried

in this moment together

in our secret unity

our skins become a still life

our souls epiphany
