A Heart, But Petals Bleed!

Keep that little place in your heart That's Pure as a sunshine kiss Where even if pain weeps... It blooms only flowers of peace! A child that breathes, And minds of thorns are unable to drag you down, nor swallow that light within.... Yet thy broken Petals lay on ground Fluttering as Silent Wings! That your Beloved alone shall carry As His most cherished possession Of A Heart that but Petals Bleed! . This poem was written almost 3 months back & the process of painting was ongoing since then, though with a many breaks due to my illness. It's a small 6x4 inch paper painting, yet I feel that there's always a perfect timing for why a certain work may take so long. Once a freind had asked me, why I always paint Coco as yellow, to which without a thought spontaneously I responded, because to me he is energy, like the sun, that gives warmth & happiness & infuses life in me, while I go through such chronic pain through autoimmune disease. Somewhere in all my paintings Coco & I seem as one body, because we are. As he can't see me in pain & if a tear falls from my eye, his whimpering sounds are so heartfelt to make me stop from crying. He's seen me through the darkest times & has hold me with such energy of Love, that motivates me to keep going against all odds. He inspires me not to give up being an artist. Yes! I've become more like him, where my pain only sheds Petals & they are my offerings of love to my Beloved Lord, who knows how this dream to paint for him I've carried as my souls only longing. My paintings are done as an act of love for Coco & my Beloved Lord, who've not even for a second lost hope on me .
