ART ON THE ARTIST



It
Kept asking and asking
For
Some kind of passion
To
Ripple through it
In
Heated, forceful waves,
O
My perfectly importunate heart!


In a coy, meandering dance
This
Flowing lava of my soul
Seeps in 
Then out
 Onto everything
I
Touch
It 
Tells me: 
“Cry out if you must,
Lie here in 
Silence
 If you can,
But 
Let me 
Break you
Along with 
This antique box of
Colours
Let me 
Paint your world
In gaiety”


I cannot refuse
What engulfs me
So
I am unable to resist
This sweet assault
To my soul


The grand master
Of art
Works on the artist’s heart
And the art of the artist
Is now soaked in 
Blood 


O blessed importunity!
