Autumn Blooms..Colors of Joy

The light is there, and colors surround us. However, if there were no light nor colors in our own eye, we wouldn’t perceive such things outside of us.

How I Deal With Them

My mind's nothingness
I face.
My heart's emptiness
I fill.
My soul's nearness
I treasure.
My body's helplessness
I measure

Curve

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
~Phyllis Diller

Smile though your heart is aching;
Smile even though it's breaking.
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by.
If you smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow,
You'll see the sun come shining through for you.

Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just smile.- John Turner

Tethered Dreams....

2007-05-03T02:51:00.000+05:30

I dreamed, and dreamed;
Of wings I dreamed; of wings.
I dreamed of wings;
Soft-feathered things,___wings.
I dreamed of wings, up-lifting things,
To pull me up to where my soul
Could wander free;
Above the winds, on wings;
Wings to set me free,___
To lift me into unremembering,
To waft me from the days of things
Into the world of wings.
I dreamed of what I must possess___
And cannot have.
I dreamed of wings.

Tears Idle Tears......tears are words the heart can't express......

Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes.......

Fragmentary Blue

Why make so much of fragmentary blue
In here and there a bird, or butterfly,
Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye,
When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?
Since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven (as yet)--
Though some savants make earth include the sky;
And blue so far above us comes so high,
It only gives our wish for blue a whet
-RobertForst

As I age
in the world it will rise and spread,
and be for this place horizon
and orison, the voice of its winds.
I have made myself a dream to dream
of its rising, that has gentled my nights.
Let me desire and wish well the life
these trees may live when I
no longer rise in the mornings
to be pleased with the green of them
shining, and their shadows on the ground,
and the sound of the wind in them.
- Wendell Berry

Blue Roses - Rudyard Kipling

In Blue Roses by Rudyard Kipling,
the poet rambles the world in search of an elusive blue rose for his lady fair.

Roses red and roses white
Plucked I for my love's delight.
She would none of all my posies--
Bade me gather her blue roses.

Half the world I wandered through,
Seeking where such flowers grew.
Half the world unto my quest
Answered me with laugh and jest.

Home I came at wintertide,
But my silly love had died
Seeking with her latest breath
Roses from the arms of Death.

It may be beyond the grave
She shall find what she would have.
Mine was but an idle quest--
Roses white and red are best!

2006-05-26T01:15:00.000+05:30

(ABSTRACT PAINTING)
I did this painting using thread i luv this technique..i used acryllic colors for this and a lil piece of thread in this procedure i applied colors to wet thread and placed on a sheet in curves(the painting depends on how u place the thread)and cover vt other sheet (use plain sheet as u get the same painting)put a heavy book and press it a lil hard and pull the thread slowly ..but not dat slowly as colors get dry..the more colors u use the more harder it is in my opinion, but this technique is a suprise as u dont know how the painting comes.
