1.
red, pink, blue—your skin,
my love spills, but not on you,
fingers ache, untouched.
2.
i throw color up,
it dissolves into silence—
only you remain.
3.
your face—painted fire,
my hands, empty as longing,
burn without touching.
4.
if love had a hue,
it would be your breath on me,
staining me deeper.
5.
your red-stained cheeks—
i could die pressing my lips,
but you are away.
6.
holi on your skin,
but not on my trembling hands,
love stays unfinished.
7.
i kneel in color,
touching air instead of you,
my hands burn for you.
8.
your feet—untouched still,
my heart, a bowl of pink thirst,
pouring into dust.
9.
if i can’t reach you,
let the wind steal my color,
drop it on your lips.
10.
moonlit cheeks glow,
holi dust on your footprints—
distant, yet so near.
11.
color on your skin,
my hands ache to paint your feet,
but night swallows you.
12.
red and gold collide,
your absence a quiet storm,
spring waits in silence.
13.
dusted in longing,
even the moon turns to you—
horizon sighs blue.
14.
I toss pink at dusk,
it lands nowhere, yet still blooms—
your name on the wind.
15.
your skin, a calypso sung
in vermilion whispers—
my hands, unanswered.
16.
i name you crimson,
spill myself in violet sighs—
you remain distant.
17.
love smolders in hues,
your touch—an unseen pigment,
dissolving my breath.
18.
i cast color forth,
it returns as silent ash—
your absence, divine.
19.
between want and dusk,
i kneel, offering saffron—
you, untouched, divine.
20.
your cheeks—color-drenched,
my thirst, a fevered prayer,
falling at your feet.
