Colors Of My Heart Poem by Ravi Kopra

Colors of my heart

Black
Sad, sad, sad
Lost in sadness
My lover has gone
It has its funeral crepe on.


Red
It was when I was newly wed
When I met her in Madrid, Spain
It got hot, very hot
it turned into red
if it fades a little
a little thought of her
makes it again hot, hot, red.


White
White, pure white
as white as white lillies
as white as evening jasmine
my heart is pure
as a virgin's bride's gown
no blemishes at all
I become a one woman man thereon.


Pink
When it has been in a slumber for long
after all women left him for long
and one morning when it sees a single
women in red, smiling at him and saying hello,
it suddenly turns from black to pink in no time at all.
