The Canvas


My life is the canvas, and I am the brush,

I paint everything I  touch or see,

It’s hard for you to understand my complex strokes,

But, it means the world to me,

I make twist and turns, and even swirls,

Just to make my, canvas complete,

It’ll take a while,

But I don’t complain,

‘Cause the decision is up to me,

The way I paint,

Is a form of style,

Original in my own little way,

I’d shoo you away,

If you try to stay,

Because,

You would never think,

I did it of course,

But I promise you,

You’ll never see,

Such a painting,

anywhere,

From here, to there,

Let it be!

Just here,

I am my own little source,

No one will ever find

me,

No, I am not hiding,

Pleading or crying,

I am so far, but,

Yet, so close,

like  the stars above,

Or a beautiful dove,

But, they always seem to flee,

I am as close,

As I can possibly be,

Except,

You need eyes to see,

The canvas that presents,

my whole entire life,

But but here’s a bargain,

there’s price,

You must keep this, only,

Between you and me,

Now take a peek,

At my little painting

And tell me what you see?

Absent Siano

Kenyan and Muslim. Young and amazing. Fun and creative. It's a passion. Sorta like fashion. Without all the 'stuff'. Always writing something. Can never get enough. Living a simply elegant life. Always ready to write. I love you is three. I love me is also. My profile is where you'll be. I open eyes for people to see. Changing minds so they can also read. I love what I do. And what I do loves me. Zoop! Is my word. I'll be sipping on tea, Cause rhymes like these you ain't Never heard. Peace and love. Like Asalamu'alaykum. I don't like dancing. 'Cause I ain't no Channing Tatum. See you around! I know you'll come back because, I make 'em but never break 'em. Find me on my title. Power of the i. No lies. Just truths. And you'll soon know why. Luck and God is to you. 'Cause he knows all that you do. Be good, and careful. So you won't be regretful. This is Siano. As in- Absent Siano
