The Colors Of Our Lives

Everybody's got a story
But so many go unnoticed
Just molecules in miles of sky
(I don't know why)

But on the canvas that I painted
The picture wasn't tainted
With melancholy shades of brown
(Don't let me down)

CH - So draw me a design that only you see
A masterpiece of time to show you love me

The colors of our lives
They'll swirl around you
Making arcs in the sky
Now that I've found you
They'll never fade away...

I see the gold in your eyes
The colors of a sunrise
And I just wanna tell the world
(That I'm your girl)

So fill me with your rainbows
'Cause that is how my heart knows
The nuances of shade and tone
(How I've grown)

CH - So the painter takes his heart but for to raise it
He creates a work of art, and he displays it

The colors of our lives
They'll swirl around you
Making arcs in the sky
Now that I've found you
They'll never fade away...

    This was beautiful. There were a few spots that made me have to double read because I liked it so much. Good job. :] I was a little confused on the last CH stanza. The words didn't flow as well as the rest of the poem. I enjoyed this.

    Thanks for entering and good luck in the contest :]

  • This was well written. Although I wasn't fond of the syllable counts because you chose rhyme I felt that you can fix this is some areas. That you very much for your entry and I wish the best of luck to you

    you are very talented, this was really well done... thanks for entering, keep up the great work.. good luck

  • Thanks for entering!

    Alrighty... the first thing I notice is a lack of punctuation. Believe me when I tell you that punctuation is your friend!
    Secondly, the brackets work well, and I love that they fit into the rhyme scheme. Well done!
    Also, I don't think the CH - is necessary at the beginning of your chorus. The fact that its layout is different should be enough of an indication

    Overall, I think this is a beautiful song, and I really enjoyed the read!

    Thankyou so much for entering, and I wish you the best of luck!

    This is an amazing piece! I love it! I would love to hear this with some music to it. It could become very catchy. Your words are lovely and they paint an amazing picture in the mind. Nic job and thank you for entering!

  • Very beautifully crafted piece.

    Thanks so much for sharing
    your wonderful thoughts.

    & best of luck

  • I'm sorry. i don't really like it. Good meaning and good description of words. But it's not what I'm looking for. What I'm looking for flows great and has a strong meaning. Thanks for entering.

    Nice song. "Our lives" may be too broad a topic to pin a color to, but you have made a lovely try at it. I like the background, although it makes it hard to read the text. Black text would be easier to read. Thanks for the entry.

  • Great song! I actually would listen to this. So many people post lyrics and I'm just kind of unimpressed with most of them, but this is awesome! Good luck in the contest and perhaps one day we'll hear this on the airwaves? -Liz

  • I was going to offer the same advice about the text but I see that you already tried so no matter.

    This is beautiful, and written with perfect form and rhyme.
    I love the imagery!
    Thank you for sharing this with me, it is wonderful and written by a talented hand.

    A lovely poem, heartfelt and warm. I would suggest a darker text as the words tend to fade into the white swirls of the background.
