Shaikha Khalifa is back with us with a brand new post, this time it’s a poem revolving around a promise she makes for herself and is titled “I vow”. We hope you enjoy it
Today I vow to give myself to beauty,
To drink excessively from every glass it has,
To never forget the taste it leaves on my mouth,
***
Today I marry my troubled soul to art,
To forever carry the heavy burden that is passion,
***
Today I devote my life to pleasing my senses,
To feel, to touch, to breath, to taste and to listen,
***
Today I dare walk the path of self-distraction,
To enjoy the corruption beauty is performing on my soul,
To relish in it,
To absorb every bit of it,
***
Today I vow to forever be an artist.
