Obsession


If you ask me who my favorite artist is,
I’d say you’d find his canvases in my archive.

In framed landscapes of the auburn meadow,
pathways are swathed by sheath of amber leaves. 
The blooming garden lined by the winding frail fence, 
fading away in the horizon like the miasma of memory, 
trailing the contours of fashioned imagery to the infinity.

The sunburst sky shimmers with the absorbed silence,
soaked up by the ambling clumps of crimson clouds.
A lone bird flies infatuated over the tinged thicket,
the wrought wings scaling the sapphire sky still.

The ardent portraits of nameless vibrant faces,
capture the poignant motif of anguish and ecstasy. 
Feminine beauty fixated in chromatic motif of fervor,
dazzles with the passionate hues of the artist’s obsession. 

If you ask me who the fervent artist is,
I’d say he is the possessed me.
