caught in the middle

caught in the middle between black and white 
caught betwixt the sun and the pale moonlight
penning in metaphor, oblique is your write 
my perspective clear, but it's only my side 

answers seeking wisdom from purple sage
curtains that won't rise on the actor's stage 
hopes that get caught in a very small cage 
the book that I read has a blank last page 

how do I get in--push right on through 
dots that won't connect between me and you 
rain pours down from the constant monsoon
it always gets darker before the sky turns blue 

far to the West--lays a new promise land 
where we walked together once hand in hand
things keep shifting like the hot desert sand 
nothing ever turns out exactly as we planned 

caught in the middle between black and white 
caught betwixt the sun and the pale moonlight
penning in metaphor, oblique is your write 
my perspective clear, but it's only my side
