This Illusion

Image
I dreamed of roses, The picture in my mind, So exquisite, That it creates, An illusion. This illusion; It is found somewhere deep within, In pockets that hold love, So intricately, So intensely, It creates, An illusion. This illusion; It might overshadow thoughts in mind, Its silent yearning, Becomes a part of you, It yearns for a name, It yearns for some recognition, It yearns for a space, in your heart. This illusion; Might shatter, Its glass like figurine, As fragile as love. As with love, It is breakable, As with love, It can bloom radiant, As with love, It is stitched to the strings of heartbeats. -shobana- All rights reserved. Copyright@shobana2019

The Palette's rendezvous with nature

Image
Time does stand still as his brushstrokes capture the scene outside his room. The artist and canvas are made complete. As the ocean's water includes the skies above in cascades of blue, what wonder the beauty of summer brings to a land of sunshine, warmth, and spring.  Serenity and tranquillity, they behold his artistic dreams. Ah, I wish to hear the peace he hopes to pronounce in his painting. It would be a wisdom formed by brushstrokes - in the waters that stay calm through the quietened tides, as if to say, "My waters are calm today to perfect the day. Against the backdrop of a pastel sky, I will remain a companion as the cloudless sky, to bask in a rendezvous with nature. -shobana- @writersthread #FathersDayGift #Amazon #blogger #FathersDay2025 #poetrycommunity
