The Colorful Canvas Of Life Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Being deceived in love and attempting to erase you face
from the white canvas of my life,
I rubbed my closed eyelids and saw a blue color in it,
then many colors started playing hide and seek,
I saw a rainbow changing its shapes
The flood of all colors painted different images.
When the blue color started dancing on the tunes of sea breeze
I saw a face vibrating in the tides
Love, and the love of the moon!
Having failed to erase the image
the sea then surrendered to the tides
it was no more calm,
it washed whatever came in its way,
the waves started coming and going,
bringing many changes at the shore,
I watched many colorful fishes trying to breathe on the sand
I watched dead shells scattered above the sand
and I saw sand settled and sleeping like a child
among his toys a few intact but a few broken,
dreaming new toys to be replace the broken ones.
And when this game of excitement and ecstasy
was over with a dawn,
the sea found many new colorful fish and living shells,
the sea was pleased to see
the rainbow has been broken in pieces
in colorful fish and in breathing shells,
but it never knew in one of the shells is a pearl of love,
that has started waiting for a diver.
As long as its light is reflected in a moon,
as long as a sexy phase of the moon
is causing a tide in the sea of my heart,
I shall be hopeful that the sun has created a shell
that is hidden somewhere in depths
and it has a pearl of love,
let me dive in the sea
and swim with the colorful fish,
I shall find out the shell having a pearl for me.
I surrender,
I cannot erase your face from the canvas of my life,
It's not whiter but it's colorful like a rainbow.
