Poetry Painting

Waiting to be filled with colors
a white canvas stands on the tripod.
Waving off the uneasiness in the air
I snatch the brush to start the work.

Harsh realities paint a grey circle in the center.
I dry the paint on a hearth.
Gnawing emotions thrash the brush.
The line is broad.
Romance mixes the pastels in a sparkling goblet
and throw it on the board.
Joy sprinkles few fluorescent stars.
Philosophy takes a deep breath and sneezes on it.
Uncertainty waits awhile to draw a question mark.

I display the painting on my porch.

A kaleidoscope is placed on it.
Critics come to look through this.
Most of them leave shaking their heads,
“He needs a mentor.”

Let the notes reciprocate

My thoughts were lead astray
by the wind that blows away.
A pattern aroused
as I knitted my thoughts.
The image I saw
was of my beloved one.

As I tried to put a knot,
to make it stable for a while
the knots came off in a swift.
The face I cherished was blown away.

Virtual image though it was
played a few knots in my heart.
My love flowed into the wind
and it carried it unto her.

Oh I am sure, I heard the notes.
From my beloveds heart I swear.
Let the notes reciprocate
to be the eternal music of life.
