My life's story he paints..




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.

  2. Quoting Danny Kaye, “Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint you can on it.”

  3. This is a good poem

    Just 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 :)

  5. One of your best works! Definitely NOT stereotyped! :)

    Happy 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! :)

  11. There is an artist in everyone. One who waits to express... Be heard. Be felt.

    We 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.

  17. The way u develop ideas and craft ur wording is...personal and unique..Reading ur poems gives me a sense of satisfaction..
    All the colors wen mixed up give white..so all experiences(good or bad) make up a person's life..But it takes pain to accept this fact..Beautiful thought..

  28. Interesting...
    Sometimes people write peoms on title...and u did the reverse... :)
    In case of prose other than poems, one has to write story first,think of title later...

    i like to visit such space again..:)
    I left a reply for you on the same topic on which you dropped a question for me.

    Take care sid...:)
