Colours and Me

I read one of my friends' Facebook entry last night about whether a person is just single-coloured or multi-colored. Personality-wise I think, not the chameleon-type skin colour mind you. Although I have never thought of myself as being a very colour-coordinated person, as a matter of fact my choice for colour is lousy, they do mean certain things and carry certain messages. These are two poems that I wrote during my Maktab days. See if you can tell what the colours mean.


THE LIVING COLOURS

The concept : Torquise on red
And red on maroon
The feature’s divine.
I see green all systems go
No amber light, no holds barred
I am coming for you
Ready or not.
The concept : Deeper red on red
Red on blue.

LIVING COLOURS II

Pretty in pink
And back in black
Sugar-laced purple cloak
White doves flew overhead.

Back in black
Pink shaded by blue tint
Red heat and a twist of green
A final gurgle in the toilet sink.
