There would be no blazing colors,
no deafening fireworks,
no boisterous milling crowds
of pleasure-seekers.
Only you and me
in a darkened room.
Only the electric touch
of your body and mine.

Congrats to Abhra Pal on the occassion of his first dVerse hosting! Abhra, using the joyous Hindu festival of Holi as inspiration, invites us to consider the combination of color and love. Contrarian that I am, I went colorless. Kind of.
My Tiny Throes 
and i imagine that electricity will be all the color needed
for the two of you.

Before color processing, there was only B&W dreams, television, old movies, morals; an atta-boy for your seeing black as the absence, and white as the total morph; nice job, sir.
