There Are a Thousand Colours, Ten Thousand Unknown

There are a thousand colours
Ten thousand unknown
In the same way 
You think you know a person
But you don’t know them.

Their personality is blue
Blue as the endless sky
There are endless faces of a person
You know some 
You don’t know some.

Yellow sunshine giving way to yellow sunflowers
The brain is our body’s yellow
It is responsible for our growth
It cracks the mysteries of life
Like a click.

Whenever you see pink
You think about how beautiful it is
But never about, the red and white mixed to make it
In the same way you don’t see the pain people hide
And the hard work they did to reach where they are


Plain white
As plain as day
You just see the white side of people
You don’t know the dispersion of light
As you are unaware of the spectrum formed.

Their hearts are black
All emotions, all feelings mixed in it
Lilac love
Brown betrayal
Green jealousy
Orange joy

A blend of all fancies 
A fusion of all colours is the black heart.
The black heart is made up of
A thousand colours
Ten thousand unknown.
