Staring at the canvas
Millions of dreams pushing forward
Make me a reality
Make me come alive
My palette dry
My paint tubes empty
My brushes void of bristles
Staring at the canvas.

I just want to make you something beautiful.

With a burst, my colours are vivid
A Sun falling through silken clouds
The mountains on fire
The sky crimson and orange.

Wisps of the wind dance across valleys
Stars peeking through streamers of light and darkness
Night is coming to help you sleep
Staring at the canvas.

As life drains from my body....
I just wanted to make you something beautiful
I look to the sky
But there is no paradise.

It all made sense to me.... I wanted you
But you broke my heart
Even as you completed it
The stars shone in your eyes
as the moonlight danced on your skin
And I knew you.

The silence and solitude is where I live
where my heart sleeps
I only wanted to share my solitude with you.

I look to the sky
But there is no paradise....
