darkness

so
life is about colours
vibgyor, ultra and infra
black, white
and their collusive confusion

so
tell me what colour
is my darkness?
i see you, them
cars and clouds -- hadd-e-nazar t`luk
people, movement, emotions
hunger, thirst, longing
each darker than the other
but the darkness
i sense in my bones
is devoid of colours

it's so bright yet so dark
i see no colours in this darkness
just us and them
and their colluding confusion
