2 Paintings: 

Secret of the Heart and Innocence in Nature 

Dr Abe V Rotor

SECRET OF THE HEART

Painting in Acrylic (13.5" x 13.5")

Hidden, the heart throbs

     in deep silence;

two nails embedded,

     unseen in pretence

of living, loving, caring,

     the highest art, 

filling the five chambers

     of the heart.  

INNOCENCE IN NATURE

Painting in acrylic (17.5" x 21.75") 

Abstract over realism can you paint innocence,

     move over classics, you are too pure

to be true, and impressionism too assuming,

     with apologies to Monet's azure sky.  

Oh! abstract indeed is a child's innocence,

     buds in early spring, grains ripening;

heart of a true friend, pledge of real love,

     growing in the passing of time. 

Colors are mere symbols, wanting to behold,

     the magnificence of mind and heart,

triumph of the human spirit over our frailty,

     the most challenging of all art.~
