White

 

 

I lie here untouched

not as pure as you may think

so empty I am

but yet you piously place

me on your pedestals

 bleached, blank and bloodless

you walk by my waxen skin

uninspired but

I am your thoughts, unwritten

the surrender to your pain

a place for your tears to land

and shadows to dance

I am every snowflake fallen

leaving no trace of my existence

I am the moment you were born

I am your winter

and I will wait for you

to paint me

Shades of Life

painting by Sunita Khedekar

~

Beyond the realism

Far beneath the grey matter

Colours wait patiently

To be splashed and swept

Across blank canvasses

Saffron skies ready to burst

Amid forests of periwinkle

Rainbows and reveries

Lie tangled and trapped

Between soul and everything else

Kindled by a sapphire sun

We pick up the brush

 Dripping with lucid dreams

And we paint

 

A poetic prompt from dVerse~Poet’s Pub, inspired by the beautiful artwork of Sunita Khedekar
