Thoughts of Color

April 25, 2021

The audacity of red

Spluttering thoughts

Like furious seeds of mustard

Anxiously tread.

A riot of knots 

Lurching in my head.

 

Overriding the boundless blue skies

Valor, pride and celebrations

Colour red emphasize.

Beyond these cultural connotations 

Red also implies

Pain and transformations.

 

Thoughts of solitude above the lake flew

The ocean wrapped in aquamarine blue

The vast sky engulfed in bluish hue

When the conspicuous drops unite to form a milieu

Whispering in lieu

An enigmatic adieu.
