I PAINT

I want to paint an abstract picture

That speaks words of poetry and quotes scripture

Mesmerize you with hues that could maybe bewitch ya

Shade your dark skies with blues 

And introduce to you brighter future.

Cheers to a new culture

A new day where the lay bird fears not the vulture

Nor eagles, nor hawks, nor the angry fist of nature.

Here lies traces of red, blue, green and yellow

Pink, brown, orange and all the tints that follow

Goodbye to mediocrity and things that shallow

And to depth and the impossible, we greet “hello”.

Pick up your brush and paint with me

The world is our canvas rightfully.

 

STILL

So I breathe,
Inhale...exhale.
Buying my time  
Wholesale, retail.

My body is a mine  
They keep digging at my soul,  
I would give it willingly
Yet they steal my gold.

I must exhaust the pain  
I scream at the torment,
My voice gets lost  
So I reserve my comments.

Rain pours hard on the glass
I am the cliché looking out the window,
Life goes on on the outside
Indoors lacks hope for tomorrow.

It is an ice cold world
I shiver at the sun,
Left with one shot to fire  
But the bullet froze in the gun.

Chitter, chatter  
There goes my teeth,
However, there is still air  
So I breathe...
