Between Fire and Midnight, I Found Myself

On one side, the calm of deep blue night,
on the other, the rage of red fire –
and in the middle,
he stands unbothered.
Green eyes that glow like forest embers,
seeing through every mask
the world tries to wear.
Locs fall like roots searching for earth,
piercings catch the light
like small acts of rebellion,
quiet but certain.
The green at his collar
is not just colour –
it is life, pushing upward
through concrete and flame.
He does not choose between
the blue and the red,
the calm and the chaos –
he contains them both.
This is a portrait of a generation
that refuses to be just one thing,
bold enough to stand
at the intersection of worlds
and call it home.
