Colors !

Colors are just rejected lights,
Is that why they are so glorified.
What glory is their in rejection ?
Yet we find houses decorated with it.
See the blackness surrounding the world,
No room for any acceptance.
It glorifies none but itself,
A beauty that it originally posessed.
I wince at people celebrating colors,
A beauty borrowed material indeed.
For its essence does lie in rejection,
Then why glorify the rejected ?
I keep my eyes surrounded by the dark,
No avarice is shown by it.
Its nature is without deception,
A beauty it originally posessed.

An unusual work that seemingly disparages colors in favor of darkness. The poet say colors are just rejected lights, so why glorify them? There is no evidence offered for the rejection thesis, so I don't understand the dissatisfaction. The poet says no avarice is offered by the darkness, but I can't find any avarice offered by colors, either. Perhaps the poet sees avarice differently than I do.

Intenseand speaks volumes. Dark, dramatic and a great point of view of looking at life in general and expressing ones feelings.

Hello Raghib....this an extraordinary poem...I felt some deep emotion in poem. I think it an abstract poem where you want to express your feelings through using the object light. It made me question about the perception I have about the light. Also I feel like you have some behind the story of this poem if you can share then it might help me to understand your perspective more clearly.

I am sorry for such a late reply. I have been inactive for a long time. And hello! Well through this poem, I just want to point out that negativity will never betray you. Optimism(i.e. the light) Just hides behind fake promises and borrowed hope. While negativity shows you reality and if you still approach the matter, you are not approaching it because of some false reason. Just because you want to.
Another way you can approach this poem is the usual way. The light plays the part of rejecting the colors and we in turn glorify the rejection.

hope this helps.
Thank You for dropping by Akash.

Humans are so very limited when it comes to the perception of not just the light spectrum but pretty much everything else. We live inside our minds most of the time, we perceive things from a place of great comfort.

In reality, we have no clue what is really going on beyond our personal lives. Though we like to pretend we do, and entire news networks have made billions upon billions pretending they do as well.

I'm not really sure if that is totally relevant to your poem but it is with respect to how I perceived it.

I liked it, even if I didn't get it I ended up thinking of interesting things none the less. Can't really ask for too much more than that.

Thats actually very true. An it has a relation with my poem. The reason why the rejected light is given the name "color" is because it is easy fkr them to say. The human mind doesn't wabt to indulge in complex matters and so it constricts their own world. Their truth is the only truth for them.
My poem mostly questions the naming of colours. And how that material is glorified. A beauty s what it is called. But in true sense the material just rejected the light because of which it gained it's so called beauty. Black I say shows no such type of fallacy. It's beauty posessed is something that it originally posessed. Now we can apply this concept to the human world also. How people push those on top of them to gain that top position(illegally). And how they are glorified, even when their obvious deceit can be seen clearly.

[Raghib]

Of course I will. You can count on me bro

[Coyote Poetry]

I liked and enjoyed your thoughts. I agree with your logic. Colors and appearance can be over-rated.. Nature is natural and so beautiful. Thank you Raghib for sharing the amazing poetry.
