How would you paint me?

You are an artist,
so they say
who could paint
night & day.
What if I ask you,
how would you paint me?
Would you use bright colours
to paint my curves?
Would you fill the scars of my face
with the golden stardust?
Would you dip your brush in water
& give a tinge of tears down pouring my eyes?
Or would you glitter my eyes with starry night?
Would you paint me as clumsy as l look?
Or would you change me so that onlookers could drool?
Once you paint me the way you want,
would you carry it as a feather in your cap?
Or would you sell me off as you did with others?
Before you do any such thing,
Gaze me once before I become
just a piece of your proud possessions.

When I paint your face,
I hide the dark circles beneath
your eyes on my paintbrush.
When you write about me,
you suck my pain into your ink.

When I paint and you write,
we make our darkness,
a way of living.

I make your words my strength
and you make my colours your strength.

That is why our love is an artist
creating masterpieces
with our sorrows.

That little girl loves to play with her hairbrush
His brother draws cool pictures with airbrush
The painters use wide variety of paintbrush

But EVERYONE in the world needs a Toothbrush
😂

You are the artist of

THE PAINT BRUSH
A thought came to her mind,
She took the paper and paints
Holding my handle tight,
Dipped my bristles in the bottle of paint
Whose mouth was open wide,
My bristles were all covered up in paint,
And she started painting the world of her dreams
My bristles were moving side to side,
After sometime I realized,
I painted a beautiful painting so bright,
And filled her life with colours and light.

As a paint brush is to a blank canvas so are our thoughts to our future realities.
