Art is to deconstruct

an "old one" for "THE ROLE OF ARTIST IN SOCIETY" http://www.writerscafe.org/contests/6814/

 

Art is nomad
Doesn’t want to have roots
No need of anchors
Depends on the moment
On the lights
On the one that is looking
On the intuition
On the magic

You whisper
- “til my broken heart is a work of art”
Can a heart be broken?

In art
The moment is what is interesting
It is what is important
And that doesn’t repeat itself
Art is movement
Always changing
It is based in evolution

You mumbled
- “til my broken heart is a work of art”
Can art be a broken heart?

Art is to deconstruct build

And rebuild
Scratch; pick
Investigate
Hunt for new ways
of doing the same thing!

You say
- “til my broken heart is a work of art”
Can there be art if there is no heart?

Art, if crystallized
Is boring
With out interest
Technique,
Strategies; formulas
are only substitutes
When there is no light
on intuition
when the heart
didn’t survive!

You cry
- “til my broken heart is a work of art”
Can there be a heart with no art?

We are too exigent
and too fussy about art
When we are afraid of losing
Of braking down the established
Afraid of not having a heart
Or we have forget the pleasure
The joy of creating
And just want to win something!

Don’t repeat:
- “til my broken heart is a work of art”

 Because art is nomad
Always hunting for new ways
and to have a heart
is always Art!

Hello Angi,
excuse me to come to this so late. I am home now, back from hospital.
I loved that you entered my contest.
I loved the first stanza, "art is Nomad", this is quite something! So deep and so
poetic! I also appreciated the 4th stanza, scientifically dry but full-scale exploration.
to have a heart is always art, this I never thought. Your poem shows that a poem written
fora purpose can flow naturally and speaks to both dreamers and general creative seekers.
loved it.
