How to paint a Minotaur… 

First,  

Paint its eyes,  

With glimmering water droplets 

Guiding you to the reflection,  

Of the nights sky. 

Next, 

Paint the body, 

Sculpted with molten gold and wood  

Plus a seasoning of greed and need, 

Darkening the rough hide. 

After that, 

Paint its head, 

With the magical touch of King Midas  

And the sound of the birds chirping along,  

to the song of bewildered wind. 

Then, 

Paint a pair of legs, 

Using a bull like texture 

And the strength of a limber Lion, 

As the moon washes over your pallet. 

Afterwards, 

Paint two horns, 

With golden drops forged from a halo 

That had been dipped in the Earth’s core, 

As if it were a dip-dab. 

And finally,  

Paint its axe, 

Crafted with steel mined by the great dwarves,  

God like handle with carvings of battle 

Blessed by a billion Angels.
