Portrait of Love   By PRAMITA BOSE He paints at ease with a confident hand Steady and poised Standing in front of his easel His mind already scribbling a sketchy idea Outlining his desire to be filled in with his vision Brushstrokes oscillate between light playfulness and sharp boldness Colours dripping across the expanse of his canvas Varying from faded shades to dark tones From nervous patchiness to a liquid melody The palette looks balanced Bearing the signature traits of the artist His smooth flourishes and thoughtful pauses Lend a character to his work of art Layered and reticent Words buried deep inside But vocal with a unique language of creativity Earthy hues highlight this wonderful craft Oil bottles and acrylic tubes ooze out his passion Rendering fruition to his imagination Giving shape to his inspiration Arousing his suppressed feelings and invoking divine intervention Letting all his creative juices flow Unbridled as if...

Love Note By PRAMITA BOSE I want to extend our crossing of each other’s paths from a dot to a line Our official correspondence from a mail to a meeting Want to extend our virtual chats from a syllable to a sentence Our frequent interactions from mere words to interesting conversations I want to extend our casual dates to serious commitments This flitting wow appeal to eternal vows I want to extend ‘me’ and ‘mine’ to ‘we’ and ‘us’ My romantic route from your eyes straight down to your heart Our relationship from memorable moments to the journey of a lifetime I want to extend our BFF status to man and wife This love note to a ‘till death do us part’ letter I want to convert this unexpected beginning into endless possibilities Will you be my co-passenger on this journey? My fellow rower in blue waters through the green wilderness in a tiny boat? Come, let's make this earthly exchange a heavenly bliss! ****************************************************...
