Ode to Kathmandu

-

This painting in Acrylic (size 24”X18”) is an ode to Kathmandu and also an interpretation of the poem "The Green Eye Of The Little Yellow God" a 1911 poem by J. Milton Hayes

..................

There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu,

There's a little marble cross below the town;

There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,

And the Yellow God forever gazes down.

A walk into the trees, enjoying the song of the bees Tap foot with chirping of birds and rustling of leaves Smiling the way the flowers bloom when sun shines A moment to forget the poor life full of care and tears Lie down on the meadows looking at the clear sky Feeling free as birds when I see a flock pass by Clouds appear to make faces of all people whom I love A moment to forget the poor life full of pain and goodbye Enjoying the games children play with laughter full of cheers Mother’s love in the cuddle, when one falls and breaks into tears Purest of all relations, nothing to ask for nothing to take A moment to forget the poor life full of compromises to make I find moment to appreciate a smile that begins in eyes Heart can feel warmth of love in hugs full of friendly ties Blissful stare in the reminiscences that turns into a long gaze A moment to forget the poor life full of twist and awful mazes A moment to forget the poor life full of twist and awful mazes! A moment to forg...

As the sun sighs and slowly disappears, Smoke swirls and heavy smell of the weed, Recollecting a thousand lies and fate of time, To be forgotten with finished glasses of wine. Often, marred by the roads less traveled, Always, d iseased by fortunes misconstrued, He lives a life that doesn't exist, not even real, And drifts in silence, in a world so cold and lost. Confused over why he travelled all way till here, Whether to draw a smile or maybe drops of tear, Mistakes he has made plenty, including loving you, However hard he tries, forgiveness is always on due. Blurred ahead, but cleaner mark of where he had been, Fear runs down the spine, if he thinks of going back again, But he is not dead yet and he is not in the ground, Just a lost traveler, a lost traveler down that lost highway. .........counting the days but never to be found again! .........counting the days but never to be found again!! .........counting the days but never to be...

These pictures i had taken last year at different dates of the same tree..just in front of RUFS students hostel of FCT, lisbon. We can see the changes in the tree...from barely any leaves to the stage full green :) Lifes like that sometimes we will get all the happiness and sometimes it takes it all. Sometimes it sks badly..n sometimes it Rocks... But still Life has to go on ..just as this tree bears all weathers and goes on round n round for ages..until it finally dies...we need to keep our heart and spirit going unless it really stops beating :) 2/25/2009 3/22/2009 4/10/2009 5/15/2009 6/5/2009
