ART OF LOVE

 

When the scribe breaks the hallowed pact

To tread in the way of arts disallowed path

When his heart is lost in the words of his own art

And his soul lust after the works of his art’s act

As He falls off the bridge of caution

 Into the waters of his own fiction

He drowns deep in the pool of his art’s diction

Oh what sheets can bear this controversial caption?

His art lust after its object of inspiration

So much his heart is lost in its path of desperation

But of what meaning does his art make this description

When at last the wall will fade with the whole inscription

Of what essence is the fiction in our heart?

When we still live in the loneliness of art

 What magic does the diction of our art?

When we still live in the solitude of heart
