Paint a New Canvas

How shall I paint a fresh new canvas?

I have fancied motley of blondes-beryls-cherries to my eyes,

And thou doth hath the sparkly bluest eyes, which tints I harnessed,

As thou drew me near and held me in thy tender arms,

I imagined myself with thee on a clear, pristine beach,

We lie in Caribbean waters under baby blue skies,

I have come from carnage where good fortune were besmirched,

By the means of not sparkly eyes like thine, but glint and scheme,

Where fortunes and goods were sullied by an unsightly,

Unsightly being, with wraith as haughty as a carbuncle,

But I shall repaint a new canvas with thee blessedly,

Sullen days be gone, restored with joyous sans monocles,

Because time spent with thee is as sweet as glacé berries,

Chilled in summertime, thy subtle shades were colors serried.
