There's a problem with my components
They're all separate and won't fit each other
I wish all my chemicals would create something original
But they refuse to mix
Like oil and water I'm unresolved
There is no solution

Open the bottles carefully
Pour a measured amount into my orifices
Try to mix them perfectly
But you added something malevolent
And now I'm all explosive
And imbalanced
Unstick the ideas
Unmix the chemicals
Let's try again
Anjala Moideen Jun 2019
I've been painting for a long time
Retouching, crumbling it up
Giving it a new shade
Blue replacing the red
Waves replacing the wind
Patching it up a bit in the edges
A stroke here and a stroke there
Trying to unmix the sky
Though i know
Somethings can't be unmixed
Nor can be remixed
Retouching again,  crumbling it off
And there you are 
Telling me,  i am not the painter
Telling me i am the canvas
Should've told this a little earlier
I lost a lot of crumbled up skies
Lost a whole ray of colours
Lost all the worn out brush ends
And worst of it all
I lost a lot of 'me'
Trying to paint
When i was really the canvas
