Written by
Rabab Khan

Rabab Khan is a writer and a poet who discovered the alluring world of words at an early age. Fascinated by how words can sometimes paint a wide spectrum of thoughts and emotions, she began writing poetry. Her first attempts at publication came with All Things Girl, an online ezine that showcases women writers and poets from all over the world. Encouraged by this, she trudged ahead and was rewarded with two of her poems printed in an international anthology named "Scream." She currently works as a freelance content creator, writer and editor. She also writes for Future Challenges.org, a German website that discusses the newest research results, innovative ideas and best-practice examples in a number of different interacting megatrends.

The Story of Six Colours


papercut   SHARE THIS ARTICLE

My opaline life reflects
All the colourful moments
On a dark canvas.

Remnants of cherry embraces
Encrusted on my carpet;
Flaming tangerine sighs floating through
The bedroom windows every night;
Fumbling emerald lips,
Dripping Eu-de-Nil melodies,
Embedded in the couch;
Cerise flushes linger
Where your soothing caresses flowed;
Your amaranthine glances
Still cling to my pillow,
Casting shades of indigo
On my tearless eyes.

You vanished,
From my story
Of six;
Vestiges of your colours
Remain.
