Illustration Friday ..."Exotic"

Exotic....

Fiery colours that dance 

Like ideas that swirl

talking a thousand words.

Illustration Friday..."Creature"

Creatures of habit,

Creatures of customs, traditions and routine,

Interwoven into us forever,

No longer human, just a machine.

Illustration Friday ..."Moustache"

"mooch" 

Hindi for moustache.

Regal, intimidating, prestigious, powerful

yet

whimsical and playful

Illustration Friday ...."Jump"

An Ode to

The Ancient Martial Art of Kalaripayattu 

of South India

A twist, a turn, a lightening sword,

A Rhythmic jump, swift to fall,

Leaping as a leopard, ready to fly

To touch the clouds, to reach the sky.

Illustration Friday...."Vocal"

Voices Unknown

In a room I sit alone,

In the company of voices unknown,

Whispers that seem so loud, so vocal,

Exploding in my head, so real so soulful.

A haze of figures float by,

Whirling, talking as they fly,

Shapes that melt, faces that endure,

I see them closely...the faces are my own.

Illustration Friday..."Intention"

 

Do you wear your intentions on your sleeve?

Ambition and anger hidden 

so it seems.

Illustration Friday...."Forward"

Walking forward on shards of glass,

Broken beneath your feet,

Before you know it,

They will be rounded little beads.

Illustration Friday...."Prepare"

Prepare wisely,

Life will leave you unprepared mostly.

Search sensibly,

What you search for may be spontaneous usually.

Dream carefully,

That cherished dream may be meaningless finally.
