Rumi - I've Fallen in love w/a poet
Hello friends,
Rumi. I don't really read poetry, I just write it. I don't really read books to the end, but I write them. Getting confused, lost, uninspired and disappointed turns me off from most things I read. Most likely, if its short I'll love it. If it's long, I won't finish it and usually give it away. If there is too much going on, I'll become lost and confused. If the writer or poet gives up, I can sense it and get uninspired and disappointed. If it's perfect, I'll probably put it here. This is perfect but most of what I've read is perfect. Of course, the long ones are untouched. Enjoy:
Art as Flirtation and Surrender

Art as Flirtation and Surrender
In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest,
where no one sees you,
but sometimes I do,
and that sight becomes this art.
