Manifold colors of paint are splashed around
With a white background contrasting violently against the paint
Splashes of yellow, blue, green, and pink are assorted throughout
The colors dance to one’s eyes (personification) gradually holding onto someone’s sight
The piercing fiery of the reds and oranges burn through the canvas
Each splotch of paint gives a definition as if they’re individual stickers
Solid and crisp spots have their own character
Some are mixed with white while others are just their own
The abstract sharpness catches everyone’s sight
As each delicate pigment stains onto someone’s mind
