WHAT.....(May 2003)

WHAT...


What are you looking for??


Is it the pretty moon

that has hidden itself behind the cloud?

Or is it a prettier face

you have found in the world's crowd?


What are you thinking of??

Is it about the depth

an ocean can hold?

Or is it about those eyes

whose depth can never be told?


What are you trying to hide??

Is it gold, diamond

or some other precious treasure?

Or is it those handful of memories

which hold worthless pleasure?


What are you petrified of??

Is it the fear of the unknown

or the anxiety of where your future lands?

Or is it the dread of losing

the hold of those hands???

The impression of something on me is rather more strong. I am longing for my town, my native destination I miss its warmth, it love, its affection. You have given me the power to

The Colour of Imagination!

The white canvas stands opposite me… As I hold the board of various bright colours… Still deciding on the first stroke…! White can adapt any colour…any combination… Yet I fail to make a selection…! This makes me wonder… Do I prefer it as it is…Serene, pure and clear…? “What if I paint you red…?” I ask the canvas. The colour symbolizing two opposite extremes...of love and hatred…! “No, I have never been on the edges, I keep a balance…,” you rightly said! “What if I paint you blue…?” I ask again. The colour of tranquility, royalty and freedom…! You are not convinced, “The uproar inside me also needs a presentation!” “What about pink...?” I inquire. The colour of innocence, beauty and optimism…! You smile and say, “You want me to own the trait of feminism?”… “Ok then the colour green…?” I say. The colour of nature, life, self respect and grace…! “But it holds a thin line of jealousy as well...,” you state. Finally you question- “Why do you want to limit my horizon… A colour would

Before I go…I need to be sure… You are happy without me… That the frowns have merged with the skin… That the lips are comfortable with curves... That the eyes are brighter, thoughts clearer… That you have moved on… to be happier…
