The painter took up his brush to paint
he picturized a valley cupped by mountains
numerous waterfalls were cascading down
ripples expanding and bubbles bursting all around
Sunrise is an invasion of light and shade
through the clump of trees and wild foliage
Inside it's dark but enlivening bird calls
cawing, chirping and screeching as if in alarm
A small hut at the brink of a rivulet
further downstream more sprouting concrete
black smoke billowing out of chimneys
a road connecting by cutting trees
the councillors and builders in round table
chalking out plans to have planned development
multistoried to cater to demand multiplying
dammed river to render water supplying
The paint in the brush dried up
It dipped by mistake in the teacup
this the absent-minded painter drank
and back to reality he shrank

The multistoried building stands
desolated in city environs
with floors still ‘under construction’
and a heap of grabage fouling within its fence.
The decoration of fragrant garden within
accentuates kind sight of the passers-by.
Captivated by machined simplicity
streamlined with time,
he stands there perplexed
at the discovery of alloyed divine element
trying to redefine the domain
to reformulate the structured phenomenon.
Assigning adjectives to the noun
raises deep eddies within
wading through the velveted admiration.
NO,
‘She’ won’t submit her soiled devotion
in the circumambience of sensitive rays
piercing through the pitch-dark clouds.
“I would better set the garbage ablaze”- ‘she’ said.
