PAINTING

                                I fascinate
                             to draw and paint
                          since my childhood
                            in depressed mood.
                             I love to visit
                             (not as a critic)
                               Art Exhibition.
                                Just relaxation!

                        In an Art gallery I chanced to venture
                           to look over world renowned pictures.
                         Each specimen in perfect profile
                         was unique in its specific style.    
                             On my every blink
                            I had to sink and sink.
                             As if my desired dream
                             reached full to brim.
                            It was almost proven
                        I was wandering in Heaven.
                 
                         In a gilded frame at the exit,
                         a broken guitar kept as exhibit,
                          with a torn piece of paper
                          seemed to be hand written letter.
                                 I apprehended, 
                             Guitar must be played 
                                 by the artist,
                               torn letter might
                               be personal letter 
                                recovered later.
                          I searched for notes, if displaying,
                          but found no clue or nothing
                          Suddenly I noticed, broken guitar,
                           dull pale torn piece of paper
                               both are paintings,
                                 not real things.

                 Note. Twenty years back I visited the Art gallery on my first trip to America. I could not recollect the name of the Artist
