Happy Holi To My Fire Rainbow Poem by Seema Jayaraman

Color my life fluorescent seven
Enthrall me with your splendours
Like the flaming fire rainbows
Draped over a virgin blue sky

While here on earth mortals
smear each other in shades of joy
A few chance forbidden passions
In the guise of holy festival of colors

Why don't you amongst them
From my secret yearnings materialise
To paint the stark white of my plaid life
With vibrant fire, envelope of rainbow

I am dancing with my pristine cape
Fluttering high to drench in your colors
My being awaits a refraction
You smeared through me, be my fire Rainbow
