Apeksha Kumar - Black

a color or a sign...gives peace and sorrow at the same time...
you give your love.. it gives back the wave..
run away and it'll chase you till your grave...
black is a feeling..a destination perhaps..
a road once taken..then no turning back..

close your eyes and look inside.. black is what engulfs your soul..
a sense.. a feeling.. a mystical ride..
an idea, a secret that your soul unfolds..

black is an energy, a power, a path..
a feeling of being complete..a way to the beginning of the last..
it caresses you and fondles..or can suffocate you to death..
can give you all the answers..or can confuse you till last breath..

it teaches you patience.. and gives you strength..
a reason to live..or a burning revenge..
it helps you get the sky under you..or shows you the agony of hell..
worship black and submit to it..it takes you where the divine dwells..

black is not mere color..nor just a simple sign..
black is a religion..a knowledge leading to enlightenment inside..
black is a mystery..a cycle..an endless ocean in a pool...
neither positive..nor negative..
you are black...and black is you..

Apeksha Kumar
