colors

Look around and play with your sight

Never know what you might get

Beneath the dust and wraps of eyes

In the concealed truths of life

Let’s see what colors we find

Blue for all those two droplets

That raced on your window pane,

And all those times when you looked up

And saw something beautiful

In vapors among the skies.

When wretched and desolate

You locked yourself 

Inside Your own self and 

hung around like a spirit unconfined.

Let’s see what color we find.

Pink for all the times

You held hands too tight

Still it never hurt to come closer.

When you gave too much

And forgot to receive.

When the whole essence died

But a little hope of hope

Refused to depart your psyche

And your heart controlled your mind

Let’s see what color we find.

Grey for those shadows 

That came close and became one

Even when their people

Had minds and hearts away wide.

When you looked out in the world

And It seemed so bright,

But just a peep inside

And you saw it collapsing all down.

But to each other both worlds are blind,

Let’s see what color we find.

Red for those moments so sudden

That made you weak on your knees

When arrows shot pierced your heart

Only to make the pieces bleed.

For the love and disgust that you carry

In the bleeding pieces together,

Crushing it more and stabbing it hard

Enduring everything, despite everything.

You can never leave your parts behind,

Let’s see what color we find.

Yellow for the faith you found

Unanticipated and unpredicted

In most bizarre dark fractions of time

And you carried that light 

Till the end of the road

Only to see it turn gloomy at nights.

Maybe picking it up was the mistake

Or maybe it was to keep it in dark.

For things to be spread cannot be confined

Let’s see what color we find.

White for that innocence

Which you left behind with time.

For the times you looked at the stars

And you saw more than shine.

When everything around you spoke

A silent message only for you to hear,

When even in the rotten fruit

You found a seed so magnificent,

And that seed bore fruits of all kind,

Let’s see what color we find.

Green for growing up to know

Of the stories that thrive only in dreams,

Stories that turn the pages of reality

Until the real world fades in the backdrop.

The nightmares that visited you at nights,

Now you carry around for they made you home,

You grow up to know those nightmares

Made your existence a beautiful dream.

Because they took over your spirit rather than mind

Let’s see what color we find.

Black for that face of your self

Which no one else in the world could see,

Those stories and poems idolized the one

And that one came and went away,

But the truths that were kept hidden inside

They were decayed and died away.

And that’s how you lost your self with time,

And that’s how you make yourself again,

And that’s how your life unwinds,

Let’s see what color we find.
