A Bitter Sweet Poetry Book

Open Poem

Paint Your World 

The sky wakes the sleeping

Wispy clouds capture sounds

Mixing colors where horizons lie

Paint your world.

Golden leaves bring a new dawn

Fleeing sun brings an end

In between is history

Paint your world.

When day comes to an end

There's always Tomorrow

With more suns in the sky than you can count

Paint your world.

Go into deeper depths

Where midnight is endless

Can you bring the light?

Paint your world.

Paint endless seas

Create sea life on the brush

Draw languages on their tongues

Paint your world.

Steal the ocean currents

Mix blue with green and indigo

Try to keep colors separated

Paint your world.

Illustrate the lands

With endless life

Where everything's sun-kissed

Paint your world.

Connect color filled landforms

Form two minds

But never paint lonesome islands

Paint your world.

Impacted colors on trees

Some that drop gold to the floor

Unlimited branches of designs and patterns

Paint your world.

Shape the colors of the wind

Carry people on its tail

Reach their life's destinations

Paint your world.

Speak the wind's color

Give it more elements

Let it soon reveal its secrets

Paint your world.

Don't walk in bitter rain

Run in daylight's vision

Heal the dull and faded colors

Paint your world.

As tears fall from angry clouds

Collect them as they fall

Then when your bag if full throw them up at the stars

Paint your world.

Capture the secrets of life

In the tears of special eyes

Transform them into sparkling stars

Paint your world.

Rule in royalty as king or queen

It is on future's page

Being kept among the countless stars

Paint your world.

At times of great sorrow

Water ruins the portrait

Until it is dried off the mourning

Paint your world.

When there is war

Will crimson cover the scene?

Or will snow blanket it all?

Paint your world.

Will mountains rise and fall

When someone moves them?

Or will they still stand tall?

Paint your world.

When life comes to an end

Will the ship continue sailing into the West?

Or will a living memory be left behind?

Paint your world.

Form another world

After the last died and faded away

With more bold and vivid colors

Paint your world.

Create new colors

Bring out the good in them

Make the new creation more appealing

Paint your world.

Never end the brush's strokes

They will only continue

Until the time is right to halt.

Paint your world.

There are never ends in life

Only eternal beginnings

As long as the sky's awake

Paint your world.
