Yellow Poem by MAHBUBA SHAMA

at 29 after post graduation
i had no job
family rebuked me as if i am nothing

i turned to astrology
yellow wearing can open my luck
So, yellow became my favourite colour
the brightest one
i wear it always
as this is my lucky colour

I got the job!

brihaspati's hue
the planet of money and relationships
luxury and marriage
i wear your colour everyday

astrologically i feel secure
mentally i feel happy
yellow you complete me completely

People can call it superstition
but i cannot leave you
i feel connected to you now
you have given me my job, money, luxury
i bow down to you!
