Original Submission by Sonal dixit Kelkar

Hueful Dualities

Charm of the colors and its tone, lies in every shade you view,

Let's skillfully wander through the duality of royal and mean hues.

Green in its prime supreme, brings a hope for a new life,

Or a baneful mind goes green with envy, like a devil in disguise,

Red is the heart in deep love, beating and hoping not to break,

Or like a mind with ravaging rage needs a red signal for an unseen edge.

Visuals of White, as pure as heaven with a harmony of hope and peace,

Or for the final silence in a piece of white shroud, a free soul is released.

Suits in black display the power at bar, a symbol of elegance and youth,

Or in the dark shadows at night, depicting hell and evil truth.

The sky and the ocean in the elysian blue, a colour with royal reign,

Or with despair blue shows the impures rushing through the veins.

A bright sunshine with yellow bloom, spreads warmth and fresh range,

Or yellow as a serious warning signals, for a dull life to change.

For a magic and mystery of sunrise and sunset, orange weaves a story,

Or this orange can be an alert warning for some dangers of nature's fury.

The earth and the deep woods, show the warmth of the brown hue,

Or for a dull and wasted life, places a brown stigma for you.

A shy or romantic fine self, that's the way of pink,

Or the timid side of your manner, a hue you may hide on a brink.

Born with royalty or a gifted art, purple is the perfect tool,

Or you hide in a purple shield, as an arrogant or emotional fool.
