I am the eye, you are the light, my love.I am an eye, and you аrе a light, soul

My next painting-creation from "The Hayrens" series what is created on the basis of the love poetry of medieval Armenian poet Nahapet Kuchak.
***

I am the eye, you are the light, my love.
Blind without light is the eye.
I am a fish, the water you, my love.
Without water fish must die.
If you pull a fish from the river
and throw it in another it will live -
but if I am parted from you
Ill die without hope of reprieve.


Nahapet Kuchak - 16th century armenian poet.
