If you only know how a stone sings <br /> <br />If you feel how a mountain grieves <br />If you see the farthest star in our milky way <br />If you weep when a jealous wind tears the loveliest petal of your rose <br />If you breathe out a sigh that once came out of a dying star <br /> <br />If you get a desire when a bee sucks the honey out of a flower's womb <br />If you feel sad when a dry leaf falls from the care of a branch <br />If you dream when a lonely wind murmurs in one autumn evening <br /> <br />If you suffer when the wild wings are brutally killed by a brute's desire <br />If you see a beauty when two lovers make a sensuous love <br />If you smell an odour when the last hue of the day's sun melts into an evening's soft bossom <br /> <br />Then you create a Taj in your mind and share with thy kingdom <br /> <br />Thou art a Poet <br />Everything else is for you.<br /><br />Shamik Bose<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-poet-26/
