Damayanti and the Swan-messenger

Love that awaits to cast upon your soul and being completed in this universe.

You spoke of treasure in my glancing eyes

I must run and wonder why you?

Asking presently with your bird eyes to follow you to seclusion
and take latitude in your leaps of love,

To groove along the way where parts of thy splitting days,
bestowed first- class blessings within messages you deliver,

As fixation upon flamboyant fission within the royal garden,

I captured true feelings from true love that awaits,

To watch,
as thy messages convey
wine of life.

Such as attempting,
to reflect a breath being taken

Listening to the heaven's white
angel,

As flowers bloom in the soul of flowerbeds,

As fountains play a tune,

You can hear closely,
with eternity as a friend

That there is the movement of the running Damayanti.

Contrasted with the stillness when she is attentively listening to the swan.

Within the enclosure of the royal pleasure, life is full of vitality -of a blossoming love.

Author's Note

This is one of the best paintings of the Nala Damayanti series painted by Raja Ravi Varma. Thy picture above deciphers love in everlasting story that begins with (Damayanti) character in Hindu mythology. She was the princess of Vidarbha Kingdom, who married king Nala of Nishadha Kingdom. The swan being freed by Nala, the swan lands in Damayanti's hands. Damayanti is fascinated by the golden swan. She tries to capture it. But the swan runs away to a secluded place.There he tells her about Nala's feelings for her and conveys his message. Damayanti stands in rapt attention listening to the swan.

I like how your imagery and word choices create a romanticized world where a princess might just hear about one's love for her from a golden swan. Inspiration from art is an endlessly worthy endeavor ad I enjoyed it. Nice job!
