Painter's Promise

Syed Aunirbaan
Tears fall, colours don't blend, I cry so loud, I try so hard, I reach out hands crimson in blood. Emotions flood, wisdom say goodbye, Still I cry - every night when the stars are bright,

Every morrow - when the sun rise, Your presence still lingers, Your voice still echoes, Footprints engraved deep in my heart - untarnished!

Oh! Tears don't fall, I will bring the colours, They may not blend, I will get the brush, I will wash my hands off all the bloodshed, all the sorrow. Look in my eyes, I would not cry! Neither shall you! Won't regret, that's a promise! Oh the tales are told, oh the melody! Forever and never after!
