ELUSIVE STARE

  All poems copyright: ravivchhabra.com Managing Editor: fnbworld.com  Acrylic on canvas by Ridhi Chhabra I n morning the screen shall light up again opposite the effusive glance. Her breath on my face brushing the cigarette smoke in fine strokes. I touch her face, bosom and the gleaming cheeks, desperate to hear a whisper or two in mirth as we play the music alongside. Her lips burst out with the laughter signature. Is it humour that keeps this rumour going. I probe as she takes a breather. She vanishes like the elusive chime untimed. Why her. Is it a rebound or are we future bound? Inner noise is a reliable partner. My expressions are effusive, yet, I sometimes hear her calling out my name. A distant game we play till the time she stays. Night for her is early. Morning and noon await our final journey.  

FIRE and DISTRESS

Art in Frame All poems copyright:  ravivchhabra.com Managing Editor:  fnbworld.com   Frolicking flowers photo by the poet . T he artist in me thrives on internal, unending fire and deepening distress.  Both creating ripples in the mind. My art is finetuned by pain. Sillyness of an unending and unreachable sullied love. Cutting off lush branches of innocent swaying trees...the artist laughs. Then there is silence. No pain but a blank mind.   I seek emotional wound. Almost like an addiction. Love is the drug. Pain is love.  Art is created in wilderness and in complete darkness comes alive my drawing slate.
