INEXPRESSIBLE
INEXPRESSIBLE
How can I?
Lift this burden off my heart
Unshakable tonnes of the unexpressed
Hercules once invited Achilles
For this great task
But how can?
If only I can paint
This daughter of Eve
With rainbow colours
Garnished with red and roses
On a canvass of love
But how can I?
Paint this Princess Ebony
With the ordinary
Tell Michael Angelo
Colours have lost expression
Brushes have failed
If only
I find the right words
Seasoned and spiced
To describe this great work
Carefully sculptured
Meticulously adorned
But alas
Words lack meaning
Eloquence is nothing
But how can I?
Someone tell me
Express the inexpressible.

How can I?
Lift this burden off my heart
Unshakable tonnes of the unexpressed
Hercules once invited Achilles
For this great task
But how can?
If only I can paint
This daughter of Eve
With rainbow colours
Garnished with red and roses
On a canvass of love
But how can I?
Paint this Princess Ebony
With the ordinary
Tell Michael Angelo
Colours have lost expression
Brushes have failed
If only
I find the right words
Seasoned and spiced
To describe this great work
Carefully sculptured
Meticulously adorned
But alas
Words lack meaning
Eloquence is nothing
But how can I?
Someone tell me
Express the inexpressible.
