Brushing aside her soul,
Your vision
Of the Goddess
Skinny, skin-deep
Fades into a spook
Of bloodless strokes;
More a stroke of genie
Than deep truth of seeing -
Your brush
Has mired the light
And stirred a libido
Not
Fulsome but loathsome.
Freedom of suppression
Of
The pure angelic charm
Of the Goddess of arts'
Eros-bitten,
You are blind
To
Her lotus and the veena
And
Deaf to those sweet airs
She thrums to delight.
Take not your cue
To
Splash your outrage
From
The sculpted chips
Of concupiscence
From our fanes -
But look into your soul
And limn -
Then your sleazy surface self
Shall turn whole
Steeped
In the bliss of the essence
Of your own self,
The sara-swa.
Stirring the tints
To life resplendent
A brush with a kitsch
Is
A limming travesty of art
