Paint it on a portrait of an intricate design
Capture the force of mankind’s vivacity
With each stroke whether broad or fine
Paint with life, paint empathically
For red use the blood that pumps dynamically
Obtain it from smitten heroes who fight to the death
Find the most zealous one, with a manic glee
To prove their love, to save their very own princess
For blue take the tears of a mournful soul
Of the one who watched their cherished disappear
Take it as the pain fills the eyes and overflows
Take it from the purest, most heartfelt tears
For yellow take from the warmth and shine
Of the newest, the most infatuated hearts
Where they glow with smiles of their own design
Where they cannot bear to stand an inch apart
Mix the colors with an affectionate eye
Paint all the determination and pain
Put with all your heart and all your life
Shelter it from the sun and rain
Paint until fervent passion radiates
A surreal glow, a soothing warmth
Paint till none have to concentrate
To find what it is or it’s worth
When it’s finished in its purest beauty
Perhaps it can be place in a divine gallery
So when one reaches the heavens and sees
It right next to the first and true painting
