The many hues of life
all splashing unto me
a sprinkle here and there
or drenching wild and free
eccentric and vibrant
joyous and en- zealed
with careless laughter pouring
ORANGISH shades it reveals
passionate and intense
dawning turmoil and upheavals
I care not of lighter shades then
PURPLE is the colour I be
romantic and mystic
with powerful enchanting sways
love - the only cynosure
cherry RED emboldens me
a peaceful WHITE or fresh YELLOW
inhaling the morning breeze
or crisp like GREEN grass blades
sharp yet sunny bellows
suppressed with BLUES
maybe soft and gentle
or nightmarishly dark
dimming the SILVERY enthuse
bold, BLACK and sassy
tracing authority and Independence
or saintly WHITE and sagacious
shimmering purity and radiance
The canvas is me
and so are the pastels
I am the artist
stroking with poignant skills
incomplete and imperfect
like the crescenting moon
awaiting a Midas touch
pearly drops and dew
shining a medley of shades
infinite tones and tints
I fabricate a beautiful life
