Black Poem by Sambidhan Acharya

BLACK, was my life when your father left
When his corpse was handed to me I was pale yellow,
I remembered my wedding days when I was blushing red,
But, now all the life was blank and white for me

I was alive to see you my son grow dark brown young and energetic,
I then send you the army, thinking you will bring
The joyous green in our house again,
When I got the message that you too are martyred again I went purple with fear

Today, yet again I have lost the redness which once you had tried to bring,
I am painted yellow in my face due to tears,
I am fed up with this life yet again which has left me blank white,
Once again, your departure has left my living journey vacant
And turned it to BLACK.
