catch my eye
I wish to buy
the prices being so high
I refrain with a see
that keeps me in glee
I look at those with a sigh
oh! no, the prices are so high.
the financial world commands
there are few demands
art and learning
sculpture and painting
concern not with monetary ethics
they wish to rely on aesthetics
most not understand the sensitivity
they are drawn towards the economics
the deals of buy and sell in gross
with that of profit and loss
ascertain a grand entry into society
they walk with an imperial virtuosity
there are few others in the community
who ape and end up sordidly
pose as great men with interests diverse
little they know how their proportions work inversely
ignorant of the delicacies of art
they talk about money from the start
such men are a threat to mankind
A poem is a painting
without colours.
a splash of words
with a throw of rhyme.
The painting is in a canvas
an illustration colourful
The eyes relish the art
while the feel is an experience.
Poetry is a writing
an emotional spontaneity
The read exalts the soul
a representation of the gifted.
Paint and verse need a skill
a nicety and a touch
those of no ordinary talent
a special flamboyance .

looks from there
blooming in the sun shine
holding us in a bind.
Having not thought of attracting
it blossoms with no thinking
delighting the onlooker great
never once bargaining the rate.
Any work of art might it be
great or small let it be
should command the views
never advertise any clues.
They be recognised for their merit
get across the board in credit
let not they be thrown out for propaganda
as that could destroy their agenda.
The part that which comes up for sale
acquires a look haggard and pale
with selling becoming the motive
there is no grade in the retrieve.
Bees go to the flower for honey
birds surround the trees for fruits though tiny
that be the procedure all through
with works of art more true.
Let be the creativity
that embraces the infinity
be it in verse or music
it appears a mystic
be it in art or sculpture
it mesemerises the spectator
that creativity is not found anywhere
it being seen not in an ordinary ware
it being thoroughly exclusive in shine
looking exquisite and fine
the creation be that of God or man
seen through the glasses of plan
there be a selective design and a uniformity
with the structure in all its dimensional credibility
there we see a great verse with a flow
an enchanting recital with a divine glow
a lovely painting that captures the eye
a beautiful sculpture that forces a buy.
there lies the heart of creativity
be it in God or man in all its nativity
With a life governed by financials
having to lock up in accounts
the ease to spend gets curtailed
the thought of buying takes a back seat
with the mind crowded by dollars and cents
the beauty gets going in the reverse
as so the intention to purchases gets faded
while the dollars and cents rule the reign
being a mere paper with a value printed
overwhelms the intrinsic merit of ar
that makes a hastened retreat
lies rusting on grounds
until a prospective buyer
with no restrictive flow of money appears
buying it and restoring it to glory
such breed is rare in these times of crisis
where economy is in shambles
while food and water is becoming expensive
there is no place for art and artifacts
while the connoisseur of art
satisfies in getting things seen alone
where possession becomes a rarity
being expensive and above his capacity.
With an inborn liking for art
I go up and down the gallery
pretending to admire the primary
adding each one to the wish cart
suppressing the desire to buy
as the spending mounts
and as the buying needs no urgency.
This liking drives me mad
with the mind refraining the buy
the heart promotes the purchase
torn between the dilemma
I stand helpless for a while
a conflict of reason over rhyme arises
Reason being well based
with a rationality and validity
whatever may be the authenticity
it could not overcome the passion
and I go on with my desire
not minding the monetary pressure.
placing myself once again in credit crunch
with a bulk buying in a bunch.
The choice is classic
looking very chic
with the outer frame not thick
while the inner look is sleek
grand and great it seems
lively and cheerful it beams
shining and twinkling it gleams
as it expressed a poetic seam
delightfully outstanding
an artist who has to be honoured.
