I hold in my hand a color palette...
lies in front of me a canvas, immaculate.
The colors are still wet, their color still fresh...
Strokes of serenity await, a soaked brush.
Vivid is the picture, desires engender it's intensity...
Ambitions render it depth, bring actions profundity.
The search for purpose fuels, casts lights and shades...
Sense of fulfillment completes the portrait, life's image.
The artist in me, for his happiness yearns....
With a brush and palette about colors of joy, he learns.
My head,heart and hands he uses, they despise pains...
Happy moments fill the canvas, my life's story he paints.
first para is lovely...
ReplyDeletegreat post buddy
Quoting Danny Kaye, “Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint you can on it.”
ReplyDeleteThis is a good poem
ReplyDeleteJust a thought - the true colors of serenity is White...does not mean that life is colorless - its just that you can repaint on it with what you want :)
beautiful! Only u can write something this deep in such a simple way. It's a talent u hv.
ReplyDeleteNow all my colors hv turned to grey
And here I cannot continue to stay...
So let me fly away in silence
And come bak with colors o so vibrant
:) Just my 2 cents before I leave. TY for everything and u TC ok. Will miss ur work here!
Keshi.
One of your best works! Definitely NOT stereotyped! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy moments fill the canvas, my life's story he paints.
Life is full of happy moments, vibrant colors. The sad ones fade away into nothing, as fresh vibrant ones take their place! I am taking a print of this poem, and sticking it on my Cubicle. With proper credits ofcourse! :)

There is an artist in everyone. One who waits to express... Be heard. Be felt.
ReplyDeleteWe act out our life's script. Pretty much impromptu considering we do not know our script! Subtly, we paint our lives too... The blending of colours with each passing moment...
Profound words, mate.
Peace.

In case of prose other than poems, one has to write story first,think of title later...
