My Spray Tan Sunshine

The darkness of the morning was the reflection of dark thoughts;

That in spite of bright sunshine she was always been called a sunspot.

The windows had the shadows of bitterness;

But her smile was sunshine to cover those shadows with happiness.

In spite of living in boundaries of the black and white square;

Cocaine heroine and weed were no more my best friends because of her care.

Her sweetness like brown jaggery became my new addiction;

But only white sugar can lower the bitterness of the heart was people’s conviction.

The fairness of her heart in spite of having dark souls around made me a believer;

That I can also become an achiever.

From a sick, powerless, helpless loser;

Her blazing hopes gave my shady nights a closure.

Because of the color, she was always separated by racism’s line;

But for me, she became My Spray Tan Sunshine…..
