The hues to hold

 

The water we hold in our palms

Oozes out with a hidden rainbow

From heavens the hues descend

When your hand touches mine

And our souls mingle with breath

To cast an overlapping grey shadow

Even as the sun blazes to golden glow

Like your glowing countenance

Dipped in the pulchritudinous colors

The shade without a blemish or scar

The day flows from one hour to another

Much as your cheek awaits my touch

Then dusk reflects in your blush

Rubicund visage lost in my efforts

Then you cover your face with hand

The moon is lost with surrounding raven

Only to hatch dreams on the stage

My dreams overflow with tinge of life

While life is sketched with the dreamy brush.
