Can you name me

In your colours?

Kill me, batter me, smash me in shame

Blood-bone -flesh, all is the same. 

The colour in you

Is the colour in me

The colour is not to blame.

We breathe

In anger, in hate, in fear, in pain 

Or just like that for nothing better to do.

Colours contour our bodies 

In the same human shape,

 Paints the palette of beliefs.

Moulding narratives of our heartbeats.

A breath that starts with a coupling 

A random act 

Pulses till it ceases to react.

Don’t paint the death of colours 

You die if you do.

All that matters is-

The five senses sing 

The evanescence of our breath.
