Riot of Colours

Riot of Colours

Past one week went by

preparing one and all

not to play any pranks

or stealthily spray colours

on me. 

Today morning

the warm sunshine, 

had something inviting in the air. 

Waves of colours spread dancing

in front of my eyes. 

An upward gaze

held me spell bound. 

Someone up there

with a stroke of a brush

had splashed a radiant rainbow 

adorning the sky. 

That very moment . . something transpired

The child in me , in a flash

played a magical prank

Disguised as baby Hanuman

leapt in the sky

grabbed the colours

in a tight grip ; 

Then flying down

Flashed open the grip- - - 

blowing love and happiness

engulfed in colours strewn around

Then yelling out happily

announced- - - 

Festive colours

Come

lets play 

one and all.
