True Colours

Colours, colours and colours are never real,

Bright and shiny colours are surreal, bounded by only dreams.

True colours are visible only in testing times.

Fake colours erode, leaving behind dullness and gloom.

Floating colours never drown but jump ship full of opportunities.

Ultimately, in the battle of perception, no colour has any face value.

What is blue to me is black to others.

Purple never exists but everyone is passionate about it.

Yet, the cornea is fascinated by colours and rainbows.

Every event and mood in human life is associated with colours.

Yet, the water, the elixir of life, is colourless—brought down by dark clouds.
