Paint The Sun (John Hanover)

The chorus is a short poem I wrote when experimenting with the Nava Rasa ( Nine Emotional States ) from Hindi/Sanskrit. The verses are a variation off of my poetic form in regards to repeating the first line at the end of the verse. As with all my offerings I can edit or expand as needed. Spent years as a professional florist, so imagery and terms associated with and flowers will find their way into my works every now and then.

A little less conventional than my usual writing. A faster, and easier rhyme scheme with its pacing could be more Rap or Hip Hop. All of my lyrics are open to any genre.

Counting Coins (John Hanover)

Just an optimistic write about wanting the wishes to come true, even though you have no coins. Might come across as old fashioned, but the theme is timeless. At some point we can always picture ourselves as the sleepless dreamer.
