Tropical horizons of numb walls,
Wherein lies my dead mind, impotent veins.
Inside of my skins bursts, spelling the blank point
where there is no moss, where there is no sapphire
Sustenance to soliloquy dreams dipped in blank paints
Who am I?
A corpse of redundant hopes, a pool of mosquitoes, tortoise eye.
Stammering lips gather a thorn, to poke my swollen window,
who shall remember? Who shall smother?
It’s all blank.

Wow, great imagery. Swollen window – those eyes about to burst forth and flood the Earth of your existence, smothering the what could have been(s). The depth of sadness is palpable.

a blank canvas is yours to paint
you paint the canvas of your life
sapphire blue
is but one shade
of blue
remember you
see the future
through the the lens
of perspective
gained from experience
one day
you wake up
I mean really
wake up
the grass is green
the sky is the blue
the blue you choose
like when you
were a child
true blue
and the only
thing that
has changed
is your mind
you will fill the canvas of your life
in the way only you know is best
of that I am certain
Have a nice day sapphire

Wow! Now that is really an optimistic approach I must say.
Finding blue in black. Finding the true sapphire as you say is really worth appreciating.
I am so glad to hear your wise words, Forrest!
