Dying Rainbow

You once told me
the purple colour is a symbol of hopelessness
and it portends sudden death
when my joys know no bounds
purple colour visits me

You once told me
the white colour symbolises purity
when I think of the sheet on the bed of the dreams
'white colour visits me

You once told me
the blue colour symbolises the ocean
whenever I feel like dangling in the void
the blue colour visits me

You once told me
the red colour symbolises the revolutions
whenever I think of being encased in a cage
the red colour visits me.
