Beauty In Black And White

 Almost all of my drawings are unplanned and non-representational. I just draw and am then pleasantly surprised at the end result. It seems that I use an art form (without knowing it) called Zentangle Art. Thank you Mona Biblow for this information.

I am fascinated by the beauty of black and white graphics 🩶🖤

From Monochrome In 2022-2023 To Colour in 2023-2024

 

In September 2022 I completed 10 Years as a childless widow. 

To commemorate that landmark, I dedicated the past 12 months to innumerable pen sketches in stark Black and White with the tag line: 

"With the abject darkness given,

Beauty I sought to create, 

Made slits in that canvas of black,

To allow light to infiltrate."

In September 2023, I embarked on a new series of pen sketches, in the colours that I love.

When It Comes To You, What Will Be, Will Be

 

Is It In My Destiny?

 "What was hidden in my heart,

Now on my lips a-quiver,

Awaiting a window of opportunity,

To it, to its recipient deliver."

A Contract Of The Soul?

 "Is there a thing called 'soul-mates'?

Is there 'past life affiliation'?

Do 'twin flames' exist,

Looking for reconciliation?"

With Friends Like These!

 For you, in concern and care ...

छोटी सी बात

Songwriters: Salil Chowdhury / Yogesh

छोटी सी बात ❤

न जाने क्यूँ, 

होता है ये ज़िंदगी के साथ

अचानक ये मन

किसी के जाने के बाद 

करे फिर उसकी याद

छोटी छोटी सी बात 

न जाने क्यूँ

वो अंजान पल ढल गये कल 

आज वो रंग बदल बदल 

मन को मचल मचल रहें, न चल 

न जाने क्यूँ 

वो अंजान पल

सजे बिना मेरे नैनों मे

टूटे रे हाय रे सपनों के महल

न जाने क्यूँ 

होता है ये ज़िंदगी के साथ

अचानक ये मन

किसी के जाने के बाद 

करे फिर उसकी याद

छोटी छोटी सी बात 

न जाने क्यूँ

वही है डगर

वही है सफ़र है नहीं

साथ मेरे मगर अब मेरा हमसफ़र

इधर उधर ढूँढे नज़र वही है डगर

कहाँ गईं शामें मदभरी

वो मेरे, मेरे वो दिन गये किधर

न जाने क्यूँ 

होता है ये ज़िंदगी के साथ

अचानक ये मन

किसी के जाने के बाद 

करे फिर उसकी याद

छोटी छोटी सी बात 

न जाने क्यूँ

13 Years, 620 Poems

 30.06.2022

12 months seem to have gone by in a flash and here I am once again to celebrate a fresh milestone - 620 poems in 13 years.

Cuz  Joao Marcedo you put me on the world map in 2015 and shored up my conviction in my mission and myself. Every milestone since I dedicate to you.

My survival as a poet with an audience would not have been possible without you, who visit my blog and your continued belief in me and my gift of verse.

A heartfelt Thank You! 🙏🏽 to each of you for your continued encouragement and moral support.
