Artiste
Artiste, she paints in breathless strokes,
Dedicated to the art, the flow,
Colors alive, blushing in bold and bashful caresses,
Lifting the heart, soothing as laughter.
Artiste, she splatters the canvas with hope,
Grace captured on the bare canvas,
Home to so many dashes of light, vibrant and bright,
Quieting the darkness, pouring love out – magnificent!
Artiste, she renders the music over

The Artiste
He spoke to the sun
Brought the light to glowing
Revealing all the earth
With its many splendors showing
Mysteries beyond belief
He whispered the trees
Into expectant existence
The birds, butterflies and the bees
The joy, faith and promise
Even their fantasies
He breathed life into man
Gave woman her energy
Handed them nature and wildlife
With the promise of a seed
Who would be the child of

Soft, Soothing Solitude
Lingering laughter brings out loving lines
Within writings which echo warm, wild words
Music - melodies moisten melted minds
Feelings of hearts who flow furiously
Soothing silence, semblance - with sensations
Praises, prayers, poems who penetrate
Attracting aloneness of the artiste

SUPPORTING ARTISTE
When I used to tell people I was a film extra, or ‘supporting artiste’ as we preferred to be called, they would say, “How glamorous, mixing with all those stars.” But, of course, the reality is not like that. You get up at 3.00 am in the middle of winter, scrape the ice off

The Artiste
I am The Artiste.
I draws lines by cutting carcasses, among other things.
I am the crazed dancer, down pouring a diaspora of red essence and entrails as I sporadically spin.
I am the antagonist; the anti-hero jester with a ricin covered knife.
It’s poisoned point thrusted through regal robes; to rest in the fief, flesh and fealty

To the Unknown Artiste
People sing in praise of a lead performer;
And the person playing the second fiddle
Often goes unsung and unhonoured.
That is the fate of all such auxiliary artistes, say,
A guitarist strumming the chords—
To keep up the rhythm
Or, as typically in India,
The tambura player,
providing the continuous harmonic drone,
Which no electronic substitute
Can possibly offer—
Not to the

Speechless Spoken Word Artiste
SPEECHLESS SPOKEN WORD ARTISTE
So if my vocal folds can’t collaborate to produce sounds to communicate loudly to your beautiful mind that I have an endless mission of loving you, can’t there be any mere articulation in my vocal tract to do that? What are my tongue, lips, alveolar ridge, hard palate and velum doing? I

Art and the Artiste
The life of an artiste is not a flowing river but an accumulation of its sediments, to give fertility for nature to grow. This fertility is an art of an artiste.
An artiste cannot let go a single fragment of the moments and repressed emotions gathered over the times of the childhood innocence and hard realizations.

But JUDGE please I'm an Artiste. The only thing that eye am guilty of is loving my
country and my flag and having a strong sense of school spirit. The Judge
pondered long and hard and looked so intense it unnerved the bailiffs'
wife. “Graffiti is a crime” the JUDGE intoned
