Beyond arts

It feels like...
Metaphors shaping a beautiful verse
as if poets are offering love itself,
word by word.

Plucking navarasas, the nine moods of music,
a composer might unveil
the innermost realm of love.

Or perhaps
by blending the seven elemental forces
with hues of feeling,
a painter might carve his beloved’s silhouette
into color.

Or maybe
gently wielding a chisel over white marble,
a sculptor might etch
the form of love
into his creation.

Love, I believe,
is meant to be expressed through art
that’s my truth

Sometimes,
the simplest things
hold the deepest beauty.
Like now
in your portrait,
I’ve offered a few rhododendron blossoms,
quietly resting...
yet far more emotional and graceful
than any poem I’ve ever written.
