The Colors On Her Plate

 The colors on her plate

Augments her appetite
Dark brown roasted chicken, 
red  seeded circles of tomatoes
Off white slices of baked potatoes, 
Yellowish green strips of devil chilly
Saffron infused rice of ĺnutty flavors
White soft idlis steamed in a foil

Not heapful of each
she is not a lady
with giant appetite
small morsel 
just that fit 
between three finger tips

she is alert
she is on diet
reads hundred books
on yoga, meditations, health
to stay  skeleton slim
like Sahara desert child

but she does love the taste of life
as colorful as peacock quill

The pink rosy happiness
Dark red passions of lust, 
purple shining bright smiles
green chit chat gossip of times

The grey tones of loneliness are buried under piles
Out of sight
In dark corners of her mind
They do resurface 
sometimes
When blue feelings strikes

But then 
that is rare
and when it does 
like a monkey she hops
grabbing pastries, cakes
sweets
voraciously eating
hungry all the time
even during dark hours 
at night

till she collapses on sofa 
like oversize stuffed heavy tribe
