Post-Rainbow & Beyond I am Violet A sibling of purple,lurking deep in the moody side of the spectrum. The colour of sigh, and of longing! Fools crowd my lair,but angels fear to tread Indigo— I is the Ego—
The unrestrained self,emerging from purple to meet my neighbour BlueThe Genie & soul of denim, the tattoo of restless youth B is for Blue, the avant garde optimist!But when I get the blues,watch mestreak out like a seagull—far above the ocean,into the endless blue Green— Envy’s face-pack. But verdant, fertile, and rich! In Spring mere eco-friendliness turns to merry madnessfor leaves, grasshoppers andemeralds! Yellow roses for the one I love—Not everyone agrees;For it takes lots of gumption to like this brazen hue. I’m the turning point when in autumn—leaves turn to deep, deep orange Orange—The amber traffic colour that says— get ready to go! Come autumn, the artist, to colour the mellow leaves.I’d ratherpeel an orange than a smelly onion! Viva la Revolution!RED!The colour of passion, of rage and of the stop sign. Read my lips!for, if lips maybe red,so is bloodwhen it is shed Nothing comes after—BLACK, the unique, and the infinite. All else is submerged in the Indivisible. 2006 Yusuf ibn AiyyoubAhmedabad, India
