The Colour Is Coloured By The Thing Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar
The Colour Is Coloured By The Thing
The red of blood or the red of twilight:
Which do you like?
The blue of corpse or the blue of sky:
Which do you like?
The black of tar or that of woman’s lock:
Which do you like?
The thing of the colour or the colour of the thing?
The one loved or her complexion?
You like her as a whole and hence her colour.
