Embossed!

An embossed painting like this confuses me. I can’t think of thick sunshine or murky waters in shades so light. Never would I want to walk into the waves because of the fear of losing out on my fluidity. I may end up as a still life or become as still as the wave there. Only night is thick, hiding in its depths secrets of the heart. The heart that is impalpable, never ceasing to venture into the unknown. The blood thickens with the onset of darkness and becomes as black as the night itself. The thickness of the night is the thickness of one’s soul.

Only Vincent Van Gogh  could have done justice to this palette. His thick strokes are never static. They are alive ,breathing in every subtle mood of the moment and manifesting  themselves on the hard course canvass of life in a way that makes you want to be a stroke of his brush. Just a powerful stroke. (if anyone knows who the artist of this painting is please let me know!)

spaces

If there's emptiness,you want to fill it up.You don't have to.Cherish the empty spaces.Even a comma will tempt you to hand a scarf on the clothes peg.

Black beads

Black Beads
The sun doesn't set
in the lands where the woods are deep
and hearts deeper
Black is the truth as dark as raven
Light only drapes it in translucence
Inerasable is the dark
And deceptive- the light
The shaman looks up
At the  moon
Painted with the citrus juice
Invisible
But to the spy
Who irons out the creases
From the black sky
And lo behold
Emerges the silver disc
The yin and the yang
In perfect harmony
The black and the white
The zenith and the nadir

I continue beading the string
With beads
the colours of the rainbow
