The colours that suit my canvas

Of white,

Clash and collate

To give abstracts

A tinge of emotional tide,

A spoonful of colours

Innocent and light,

Contrasted by

The shade of

Dark and ominous colours

On another side,

My brushes mix the two

To paint a tragic starlit night,

And frame the intelligence of

Clashing and clangoring

Palette for my canvas, white.
