Shine

I am the light
I am the one

Can you see my shadow
In your shadow
Can you see what I see
Through my blindness

The diamond in a teardrop
The sparkle in her eyes
The flare behind moment
The fire in his soul

The colour
In black and white

Words to describe your words never seem to be quite right. Beautiful, love the photo.

I thought of this immediately:

I send out red signals across your absent eyes
That wave like the sea, or the beach by a lighthouse.
You keep only darkness my distant female;
From your regard sometimes, the coast of dread emerges.

-- Leaning into the Afternoon, Pablo Neruda

You make me change my favourites all the time. :-)

p.s. Got here early for once!

Cecilia said...

Incredible! I love the way you thread your words together...and come back to make a point that is clearly shown in that beautiful photo.

The diamond in a teardrop
The sparkle in her eyes
The flare behind moment
The fire in his soul

Sometimes we see more when we stand behind a shadow.

Anne, Cecilia, shyloh, Gangadhar, Φ - Thanks so much.

Extempore - To be compared to Pablo Neruda. You made my day. :-)

Anil - I was trying something new. Glad it paid off.

Prerona - Originally shot in colour, but visualised in its current form.
And so you see what was visualised.

Casablanca - Almost. But not always. :-)

Free Spirit - We most certainly do.

G Shrivastava said...

The picture surprises, just as much as the text. The text, for I found it a little too cliched coming from you. The picture because I visualised something else :-)

R said...

venkat said...

As a photographer of a different type, this is amazing. I love the mystery and depth to your photo. I especially like these phrases.

"The diamond in a teardrop"
The flare behind moment
The colour
In black and white"

You're certainly making up for lost time for when you had writer's block. WOW!:D

stella said...

that was unexpected! a masterpiece surprise with the poem and photo together. what a gift you have :)

Blue Athena said...

Hmmm. Interesting!

Like the journey from "I am the light" to "Can you see what I see through my blindness"

Why the back-tracking though, if I may ask? :)

. : A : . said...

Geetanjali - Well, as long as it was a surprise. ;-)

Rohit Talwar, venkat, transience,
Billy, Mrudula, Sushmit, Kaushik-Bidisha, silvermoon, aquamarine, stella - Thanks.

Demi Goddezz - Thanks and wish you the same.

second_wind - I think I am going to take a rain check on this one. Hope you understand.

Harshi - Thanks. Will look forward to your link sometime in the future.

Shubhodeep, yvaine - Thanks. The technique is called 'cutout'. Not very difficult.

Blue Athena - I didn't see it as back-tracking actually.
