My painting and poem …

Lotus alone …

In the pond of my soul, 

a lotus dances alone,

Yearning for love. 

In the silence, 

the petals of lotus unfold 

I sense whispers of your presence.

When will your love’s gentle breeze

bring the lotus to peace? 

When will the ripples of doubt cease?

In the sacred fire, shadows of fear fade,

Revealing the beauty of lovers in divine shade.

Love is timeless.

In the stillness, every heartbeat reveals 

In your divine light, my spirit aligns and heals …
