Part 1
Convinced in content,
settled like cement
That I knew every colour
and accepted every scent
But by passing of time parts had become untrue
Out of fear for my colours not to match with you
My canvas, folded, hidden, rumpled
and crumpled
fused together as one
Mixed colours as our map of reality had become
I stood, before you | forged release
I fell, down | your puzzle piece
My canvas seemed incomplete, malformed, frayed
and lost in the shade
Until I picked it up, and again I stood
And I saw all the effort and hard work
to cover up the parts so wrong
they might weaken our unity which felt so strong
So I smudged the lines that didn’t seem to fit and washed the corners in vain
All so that I could embrace you without leaving a stain
I surrendered into your canvas
not realizing mine got distorted
Part 3
My hand gently caresses the surface
curious of what is underneath
and who might help me restore it
Suddenly the wind picks up, and in one gust he wipes away my fear drenched cover-up patches,
which fall to the ground,
Bound,
to reveal the intimate colours and discover the shapes that, overwhelm |
and penetrate
A corner slowly starts to unfold
leaving glue traces behind, covering my desires too bold
I scratch the traces until they fall to crumb
Exhilarated of what’s to come
He lifts up my canvas, caressing
causing vibrations in my chest empty of fear
Trembling, breaking and then soaking up the veneer
The anticipation of his brush
touching my dripping canvas
Runs and mixes the colours to blush
an overwhelming dissonant palette of pink, purple and fiery red
Like an inevitable explosion from which can’t be fled
He discovers what I hid away
creating all the air I need to play
Leaving me,
a sensual mess
