I want to paint…

I Want To Paint…

 

I want to paint

the sweet scent of pastries fresh from the local bakery of Paris wafting into my nostrils like a heavenly ghost, the beauty of a single, scarlet rose elegantly standing in a vase and the thought of me laying on a sun-baked beach as the guaranteed lustrous rays ricochet off the aqua-marine sea.

 

I want to paint

the petrified look on a cobra’s vulnerable prey, before it strikes and flashes its vicious, venomous fangs, a lone wolf, with its orange, piercing eyes, howling on a peak at the glistening, marble moon and the distance between me and my luxurious chocolate and hazelnut flavoured ice-cream, as I grip the wafer cone ice-cream and draw it near towards my mouth.

 

I want to paint the end of this poem.

I want to paint…

I want to paint

 

I want to paint

the smell of ash as I cross the dangers of the battlefield as the sound of silence creeps into my ears, the thought of a majestic wolf blending with the shadows scanning for its prey, the feeling of fear as shadows surround you and your vision goes black leaving you scared and paralysed, I want to paint the scent of blood as I catch the glimpse of a lifeless body peeking out from the end of the alley.

 

I want to paint

the irritation of an ich as you continuously scratch at it endlessly hoping for it to go away, the smell of a strawberry cake as you see it roll in on a silver tray and is placed on the oak table in front of you, the thought of passing out as you start to feel dizzy and slowly collapse, the thought of being locked in a spaceship in space screaming for help not knowing that no one can hear you.

 

I want to paint

The feeling of sadness when you lose the ones important to you and the thought of forever being alone, the feeling on loneliness when you stroll the pitch-black streets as any sign of life In the area rushes to escape your grasp, the thought of remembering clowns as you were younger and missing your child life. The sound of gunshots as you rush for safety with your family.
