I need a canvas
To portray my feelings,
Echoes of my laughter
Tearful moments and joyful singings.
As I can hear
The footsteps of dwindling time,
Approaching me slowly
With the ringing sound of chimes.
I want to paint every aspect of life
How I thought to do in my own way,
Wiith the definite strokes of ups and downs
Fine detailing of my weakness and sway.
With the colours of emotions
Expressed there beautifully,
Some words which I couldn’t utter
Of love, desire and apology.
Engraved as in the lips of Mona Lisa
Timeless, elegant and all alone,
I want to be immortal on the canvas
So take me, O Eternal! And adorn your home!
