Colours

Happy New Year to all! As g3 requested, here is an "inspired" piece of poetry by yours truly, enjoy!

Colours

Green is the grass in the fields
Green are the leaves on trees
Green is the hue of envy
Her veil that flies nonchalantly in the wind
Is green.

Pink is the sky at sunset
Pink is the untouched rose
Pink are the feet of a newborn
Her cheeks when she blushes after a compliment
Are pink.

Red is the beak of a parrot
Red is the magic of a carpet
Red is the blood in my veins
Her pouting lips, and her heavenly smile
Are red.

Blue is the cloudless sky
Blue is the shoreless lake
Blue is a blooming violet
The beauty of her captivating eyes
Is blue.

Black is the cuckoo that sings in the rain
Black are the wings of a raven
Black is the flute-playing Lord
Her velvet tresses that shone in the sun
Are black.

Yellow are the swaying sunflowers
Yellow is the life-giving sun
Yellow is the gold in her jewels
The turmeric she smears on her face when she bathes
Is yellow.

White is the soul-stirring swan
White is the beauty of the Taj
White is a pearl in an oyster
Her heart, as pure as heaven
Is white.
