Melting Colours

I’m melting colours,

These colours, they speak

In the unspoken hours

To a spirit so weak

I’m melting colours

These colours, they travel

The farthest of all lands

To a house upon the gravel

I’m melting colours

These colours, they reach

Lives beyond the spell

Meanings the pages don’t teach

I’m melting colours

These colours, they crown

Mystic features of a shapeless man 

Amid the blend is where I finally drown

[Pratikshya comment, 29 July 2024- this one was originally titled 'Despondent Soul' which I later changed to Untitled to make it sound less melancholy.]

With a weary smile and nowhere to run

You hide until the sun is gone

Whispers and prayers and invites for the sleep

For you are real, never, but in your dreams

And colors of life

And colors of bliss

Before long, they stay for a while

       For with the first light, begins your night

Then cover your soul and disappear in vain

Perhaps the sun will go down again
