Blank Canvas

Folder: 
General sɯǝod

He took a painting brush and started thinking,
Wanted to draw a picture by his own painting.
He put a blank canvas and set it in the frame,
Looked carefully on it, always he does the same.
Nothing was coming as a plot! He became worried,
He had a lot of works and they were splendid!
Putting his coffee cup, absent minded gave a sip,
And still the painting brush was hold by other grip.
No idea was coming in mind and he was bothered,
For him this type of situation was really absurd.
He sat on the chair but kept looking in his canvas,
If he could not paint on it, what is its purpose?
Then he put the brush and took his pencil to sketch,
A natural view or something related to human face.
Randomly he drew curved lines on that white page,
He wanted to keep himself with something to engage.
Till then nothing came in his mind, being frustrated-
Looked through the window to the sky so illuminated.
Suddenly he got an idea may be not so brilliant-
For others; but for him that was very important.
He looked back to the canvas left with few line,
Thought after finishing that how could he sign?
He was shocked and put a tissue paper on his eyes,
Revealing a fact of his life he would left no lies.
He wanted to draw a tiny and cute face of a baby,
But he could not complete that with a soul unhappy.
Doctors said that he will never become a father,
He will never be blessed with a son or daughter.
His thirst for a child could not touch hearts of us,
Drew nothing, he left room leaving a blank canvas.
