Poetry and Other Arts

I am not a dreamer 
So my poems are not dreams  
Nor they are my dances 
As I am not a dancer 
They are separate from me 
Like paints from a painter 
I wish not my poetry should die 
Along with me when I end up 
Or vanish like dances 
As soon as the dancer stops 
Or break like dreams  
In the moment the dreamer awakes 
But wish to leave them behind 
As my legacy in original form
As fresh as the morning sun, 
Unlike the sound of a song 
Long before recorded 
And artificially kept alive 
To play long after 
Sung by the musicians.
