my dark blues

i don't want to be dark
id be fair skinned rather
i look at people; like
anyone would look at
most gave me a look
filled with contempt
is that fair to someone dear?

i look at them for that smile
me not alone in the space
the fair ones get that back
why me denied a curve of lips
is it a scornful thing for the cloud
to look at the rainbows on its way?

i don't want to be dark
I'd rather be fair skinned
if dark was so scary,
then why he did create?

there is a place near by vacant
that man gave me an uneasy stare
and goes he on to the other side
for being with a similar tone

i love this kid who just arrived
with a dashing smile across the face
she spread that warmth within
which was denied for long

  1. dear rajagopal...good one..the world is always biased towards the fair skin..that's the rule..

    I could not understand the meaning of the last two stanzas..(sorry for the poor understanding of poetry).

    your poem, your blog title and the web address are the same. was it done intentionally? Except the web address, all other things you can change at any time ..

    Please keep writing :-)
