Illustrate my Shadows
Color me complicated make sure you stay in the lines
Create paths of monochromatic moments
Stroke up a fire to free yourself
Fill up my freckles with a gradient of copper olives
Not half full but just to the magic line
Don’t judge by the cover, go onto the spine
Cut me straight to the core
Then slice away the edible sections
Select the bowls and barrels
I’ll be your still life if you’ll be my stand and my smile
