On a canvas
pristine and bare
Furiously do I
paint
With the colours
of my words
Strokes wild and
multihued
To ease my raging
anguish
Or to spill my
irrepressible ecstasy
Whenever the
torrent surges
And unbearable
becomes the feel
I reach for that
brush
Stroking rapidly
to ease
Till before me
emerges
That which has
raced unbridled within
Tears stem and
agony eases
Laughter tamed,
bliss contained
Anguish explained
Love sustained
And I find myself
whole and stable
Once again
So furiously I
paint
With the colours
of my words
My world as it
does in me reel
Bringing forth
the surreal
Till the portrait
of my emotions
Stands revealed,
for me to comprehend and believe…
