The Invisible Fence Of The Colours Of My Heart
The invisible fence of the colours of my heart
The collapsing walls of emotions
Pillars of rigidity standing firm
The granary of archived desires is full
Symbolising
The Himalayan wooden temple at home
Or the Tulasi tree at the passage
Only depicts good virtues
The borders of wells and high bank of ponds
The blue walls of the swimming pool
Making colour of water azure
The invisible fence of the colours of heart
Crumbling
The pillar of the rigidity stands
Flowing
