Peach Black

by PS   Apr 20, 2006


Peachy keen, what a joke
I'm not giggly, I'm not gonna lie
no matter how much red bull i drink
there is no way I'm gonna fly

peaches and cream, miserable oatmeal
forget that, black is the new peach
I'm not bubbly nor baby pink
that black is for what i reach

the purest, of colors full
white isn't chaste at all
the empty absence is sick
nothing in will ever to me call

a sick color for the greatness of fruit
peach is weak while black is strong
peach boring while black brings the eve
whoever likes peach is wrong

the bringer of unearthly dreams
black is the lady of the night
peach and white are forever gone
whenever black is in its might

no more is there reason to name
anything with the moniker of black white
white is no longer the opposite of black
people will now say peach black

    At first I was looking at this in a fashion sense but as the imagery developed I looked beyond the surface of what you were saying. The two words placed like that worked so well because of the contrast. Although the switching from peach to black and back again did begin to wear thin towards the end.
