Colours

Colours, O colours stay away, for I am the one, cast away,

Bright and blue, green or gray, made from earth or clay

Rush to Varsha, rush to Dadu, and bring my Anshu a play

Whelm the whites, flood the whites, flame a festival day

Joy to younger health to elders, Happy Holi to all my peers

Oh, a sound from that corner, Happy Holi to all my dears.

Lonely heart, lonely mate, feign to be happy and bright,

Serene and steady, clad in a sari, weaved in red and white.

Song and dance, sweets and play, colours are everywhere

But a sadness , likewise shared somewhere yonder there

A breeze has come bringing a scent, heart has missed a beat

Can not be, ought to be, my life is returning to me.

Tremble in the heart, tremble in the gait, day is brightly lit

A hand is raised colour is done, life is restored to me.

Colours, colours come to me My Dearest has claimed of me

Red and yellow, blue and green, but come as a flood of sea

Colours, colours come to us; we are one on this Holi-Day

Flung in the air, smeared on the face, float as a rainbow spray

Thanks for sharing. :)
