The Lockless Door by Robert Frost

It went many years,

But at last came a knock,

And I though of the door

With no lock to lock.

I blew out the light,

I tip-toed the floor,

And raised both hands

In prayer to the door.

But the knock came again.

My window was wide;

I climbed on the sill

And descended outside.

Back over the sill

I bade a... 'Come in'

To whatever the knock

At the door may have been.

So at a knock

I emptied my cage

To hide in the world

And alter with age.

'Clara's Daughter'

This is my first ever attempt on a portrait.... I liked this picture of my FB friend Clara's daughter for her expressive eyes and innocence matched only by the flowers she is holding in the picture...!!!

'Ask The Possible'

Asks the Possible of the Impossible,

"Where is your dwelling-place?"

"In the dreams of the Impotent,"

comes the answer

A dewdrop is a perfect integrity

that has no filial memory of its parentage.

A mind all logic is like a knife all blade.

It makes the hand bleed that uses it.

- Tagore

Love in Life

Room after room,
I hunt the house through

We inhabit together.

Heart, fear nothing, for, heart, thou shalt find her---

Next time, herself!---not the trouble behind her

Left in the curtain, the couch's perfume!

As she brushed it, the cornice-wreath blossomed anew:

Yon looking-glass gleaned at the wave of her feather.

Yet the day wears,

And door succeeds door;

I try the fresh fortune---

Range the wide house from the wing to the centre.

Still the same chance! She goes out as I enter.

Spend my whole day in the quest,---who cares?

But 'tis twilight, you see,---with such suites to explore,

Such closets to search, such alcoves to importune!

In the shadow...

Yet another fascination with homes, with poverty, simplicity and colors and the vibrancy they bring. this is also about the freedom the maid servants enjoy. In this painting the house wife is deep inside and under the shadow where as the maid servant is sitting on the threshold - comfortable and confidant. The Indian maid servants have this freedom from taboo's and voyeurism of peeping into everyone's lives while the master's like to keep to themselves in the darkness of the shadow's............................

Two paintings of mine now appear on an on-line gallery- 'The Fushia Tree'
