Perhaps I preferred canvas to my face,



Perhaps the smooth texture


Well-blended in the prints of my fingers,


Like it did on the rough paper sheets


The lightening of the colorful hues perhaps


Enthralled my unlimited vision

Control Price Rise


Rather defining my less than half-an-inch eye lid


Perhaps colors meant to unveil the liveliness,


Not to conceal the imperfect blemishes


It perhaps counted on the canvas,


To restore its faded hues


Brushing away the blues!


But not to encircle the line of your lip


If only colors were blended,


To resurrect the artistry of life


Like the shade under the halo,


The dark circles would have regaled your eyes


Like the rainbow coloring the sky


Or stars humming a lullaby,


Perhaps colors meant to transcend eons


Reining the mortal human layer
