Art (Carl Scharwath) & Poetry (Suchismita Ghoshal)

Flamboyance of Life

The long, luscious waves

Coming back and forth

Pushing the fragrance 

Of a rejuvenating today.

Oblivious to the onlookers,

Ethereal charm to the lovers,

The waves tangle with each other

To throw a beguiling promise,

To whisper the words of universe,

To tell us to pause and inhale the essence

And the clairvoyance of their closure

Takes every single soul 

To the world of perpetual supremacy.

White charm escaped from

The piquant source of mass of water

Picturizes the flamboyance of life.

***

 

A Longing

Tender faces collide,

Inexperienced hands dig deep down

Lips tuck no boundaries,

The bodies keep no secret 

Betwixt the ravishing embodiments

Of endless treasures.

And then a long gap,

Gap prolonged the selfish time.

Her eyes couldn't find anything

In between the vacuumed four walls.

Memories eat each other 

And the beauteous visions

Drape the scenario into simple emotions.

The empty house contains void furniture

Sculpted with the overwhelming moments

Of togetherness, love, traumas and serene!

Cascading through the silver line 

Of effervescent envisages carrying

Two pairs of arms entangled

For an unknown length of time,

She slowly swipes her tears away.

An offering to the awakened universe.

***

 

Aphrodite

The Aphrodite of my dreams,

Her hourglass body of vehemence

And her embellishments of magnetic personification

Enrich my vagabond soil.

A protruding complement 

To my noctivagant soul,

An alluring occurrence 

To my monochromatic life,

An excrescence of love

To my bemused heart,

She strolls around every dimension

With the pulchritudinous aura.

As lunatic as I am, my ink

Adorns the empathetic parts of my life

While her refulgence enigmatically embeds

Reasons for the perpetuity I dream of her.
