Romance

If the romance of your art makes you restless
And breaks every possible dream of money and wealth
That any human would want,
If you are lucky enough to be chosen amongst the millions of billions
And if the path is dimly lit in its sensual aroma,
If the love of this art surpasses the love of a women
And even if it takes ages you are ready to sacrifice,
If your heart is a pious image
Within which words flicker like paper,
If your dreams are as vivid and bright
And bold as facts of someone’s life,
If the senses lure you to live
And if the path takes you to a place-
Somewhere near peace and excitement
Near life and death, near love and hatred,
If this journey that shall be too long and tearing,
Makes you feel the spirit of it,
And if the dreams you dream race your pace,
And have the guts to live,
Your world is full, you life is this,
This art you worship,
Be blessed for she only shall consume you wholly.
