Songs of Power
Songs of power
Dreaming of vivid colours
yet painting in black,
Singing vibrancy of life
still living in dark,
Cherishing freshness in air
yet feeling suffocated,
As if conscious veiled by
fumes of depression ...
No sunshine reaches
as murky clouds blanket,
All greens and oranges
appear grey in Ishihara,
When train of thoughts
rams into the unkind,
Just to leave collecting
chips of memories ...
The palette smears all its colours,
Brushes the veins as red cries,
and tears stain the cheeks black,
soul engulfed into smoke of eternity ...
