Ageless beauty
The artist, He, sure-handed,
Paints the world as I see,
Yet he fumbles each evening,
And spills the orange gently;
It spreads as it sinks at last,
Into a canvas of steady blue,
Mesmerizing me yet again,
With a shade so happily true.
Then as livid the artist was,
The black He sprays with rage,
A bit of cloud before the night,
Yet the sunset does not age.

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Awesome..Saumys pic is inspired by nature and your poetry is inspired by his picture..both beautiful!

Loved it, Vinay! So good to see this woderful poem with this picture. ?
Thank you for a very inspiring click, Saumy. 🙂
Brilliant! Sunset redefined 🙂
I wish you would write a verse about the sea and the sky!
Maybe some time in the future, that will happen too, Dhivya. 🙂
This poem is a lovely portrait , I especially like “Yet he fumbles each evening, and spills the orange gently”
Thanks, Ellecee. It feels like that too, as if the orange has just tipped into the blue canvas. 🙂 Glad you liked it. 😀
Hello. For me, I like the way you’ve portrayed how the observer sees the world as it is, however, the artist, as artists do, often portray their subject matter in a different plane, but which ever way the outcome is painted, in this instance it’s seen as ageless. That’s is my interpretation of a clever piece of writing. I must admit when I’ve written a piece it has on more than one occaision had a completely different spin commented on it than was intended, but every ones right is to interpret as they see it.
Yes. 🙂 In this instance, the view of the artist is not really possible to put into words, I guess. 😀 Glad you felt the writing was clever, Julian. I agree with you that the interpretation of some verses, if not all, are up to the reader.
mersmerises me all the time..

Thank you, ZQ 🙂
A beautiful sunset is always there to be admired with awe. An artist is always there to capture such an ageless wonder. The urge is not to pass off nature’s beauty just plainly away. Very true perspectives Leo!

Beautiful thoughts, Kaykuala Hank. 🙂 Thank you. I agree. A sunset is there to be admired with awe.
This is a truly beautiful piece, Leo. I think the central metaphor is very well played.
I am glad that you liked the piece, and found it beautiful, Kerry. 🙂 Thank you very much.
What a fascinating description of sunset
Thank you, Susie.
First I imagined a spilling, like on a counter, needing to be wiped up. Then the sun set 🙂
🙂 Haha! The orange juice spilling wouldn’t make an ageless beauty though, right? Thanks, Marian.
