It all looks
so colourful outside,
But I sense
the darkness within.
In search of
colours to brighten my soul,
I step
outside the imaginary walls,
And so does
the new journey begin.
Never been certain what colour was my soul,
But it sure
was not grey as now.
May be it was
pink with love,
May be even
yellow with joy,
Or maybe it
was red, blue and green.
Wonder aloud
where did I lose those colours?
What made
them go light and disappear?
Was it the
pain I brought upon myself?
Or was it all
just my fear?
It’s time now
to smash out of the shell,
Heaven within
awaits with open arms.
It’s time now
to soak myself in joy,
It’s time now
to smile and ring the invisible bell.

ReplyDeleteMy world, my thoughts, my musings...
That was nice a read!!
ReplyDeletefor some reason reading the poem reminds me of "Colours of Light" by Dorithea Mackellar. It guess it is the essential use of colors to describe the bigger picture.
i write poetry very intermittently, so i understand when u say words flow on their own....:0), but dont stop when they flow.
Beautiful...and inspiring!

ReplyDeleteVery nice poem...
ReplyDeleteits a beautiful poem ,loved it :) :)
ReplyDeleteThis is one of your best poems and I liked it very much. It is not simple though. It makes you to take a pause and think, and that, in my openion, is the sign of a really good poem.
