SHADES OF HAPPINESS

The tinge of rainbow colours on faces  

still poignant, scrubbing hard to scrape away each hue 

matching the setting sunrays on a cold Holi evening.


An invisible attire of  deep coloured love 

splashed on  milky white dresses

a colour no designer can create

an apparel no brand can put a tag on.


The  privileged washbasin mingled

with colours of  grey smiles and  bear hugs, 

The bathroom mirror envying the 

plastered smiles.


Blended  in each Indian's heart

the pink giggles, the green grins

pavements soaked in shades of yellow

drains spilling of red and pink

the wafting aromas and 

the dripping white laughter.


Colours do not brighten our lives

but love sprayed on near and dear ones.

Let us wish to be that  bright pigment

and lather away mankind's bleak stain of sorrows.
