Paint Me a Poem

Paint me a poem of Emerald green; With Lapis blues and golden hues. A poem that will ensure I arise and Salute the Azure skies. Paint me a poem of rose’s red; One across a canvas spread. One where lavender, returns to pink; One that causes me to blink; My wandering eyes turned hazel hues that, Slip quickly back to cerulean blue. Paint me a poem, purple deep; So in the twilight, I will sleep; Dreaming of colors bright in the sun. I want to bathe in the orange light of, Aged Sol’s yellow-bright fun. Yes, paint me a poem, just so you Will feel what I feel, when I paint the truth. Force the painting to come to life; Paint me a poem on canvas white. I want the poem on a wall; To read as I walk down the hall. Paint me a poem of musical notes; Drawing colors as the words float; Lending magic to a silver sea and I will turn turquoise green and swim into the blue abyss of words hidden in your color-list. Paint me a poem, paint it now; Paint me a poem to soothe my frustrated brow.
