Purple – Not Only the Colour

January 25, 2019

 

The colour reflects the psychology
It reads the mind and spells the behaviour
Your colour is purple; mine is blue
Once, for your festival, you bought light blue
It is, yes, colour influence. No doubt.
With this influence-driven context,
I fly to one of the Scandinavian countries
At the airport in Africa, for on-board priority, there are colour codes
The airport personnel will stick it on the ticket well before on-board.
The checking at the airport is over for me
I got the ticket and boarding pass
Did wait for the flight
The time has approached and waited for onboarding in the queue
It should be based on the colour sticker on the boarding pass.
Wonder, I don’t have it. Others have their colours: green, yellow and purple.
Simply, I walked towards the checking personal and asked of mine
She looked at my boarding pass.
Yes, it has no colour code stamped
She looked at me again and smiled: sir, your colour is purple..!
You belong to that line, the line of purple…!
I smiled at myself
I have been living with this colour for a long time:
It has been following me as shadow without my knowledge
My study room was painted with purple
My luggage even that day was purple
Which I locked and could not open it as I missed the key-opening number
I know well the pin code I gave
With this puzzle, I failed in recalling.
It is interesting. It is curiosity.
It is serendipity of finding your colour-mate.
I am very good in recalling my password.
This case confused and tested my ability to recall.
They cleared me at the airport without their knowledge
That you are travelling with me
You are following me in the form of colour.
Purple is not only the colour;
It is a puzzle,
It is a connectivity,
It is a paradox,
It is a serendipity,
It is a long relation,
It is a new mate…!
