Premium Member The Artist

Told to invent, told to create, 
Told to conceptually begin,
To touch all our souls from deep in our heart, 
Told to express from within,

And dance and paint and write us a song, 
Entertain and nurture our needs,
To feed our desire for beauty and love, 
To grow and build on our dreams,

The life of our artist is a life full of give, 
To provide a laugh, fear and cry,
We require our artist to prompt our emotions, 
To make us all ask ourselves why,

Why is this pleasure with a civil critique, 
Why do we feel how we feel,
To highlight the news and comments on life, 
And showcase our social ideal.

The Illusion of I

Beset by boredom of mind I ponder the
illusion of I
Conceptually I doesn't exist but this fact
is hidden from eyes
I is an illusion of minds similar to lakes
in a desert
A mirage comes in the form of delusions
of a self never measured
One with all in which we are measured if it
weren't for I in the middle
We unconsciously took on this persona 
now we find ourselves in a riddle
I isn't the center of things but it finds itself
at the core
Who planted this apple of eyes inside our
minds corridor?
Closer than one's paramour it elicits secrets
to hide
In reality it's illicit by nature but we go
along for the ride
Next time I comes around ask from where
it has come
If you stop to study its acts you'll see an 
enemy of one

Premium Member Love Is the Essence

Love is the essence

inflamed two lovers desire

creation alive



Love is the essence

joy beyond comprehension

new mother's dreaming



Love is the essence

spiritual, divine, I woke

integrity, faith



Love is the essence

sacrifice one's life purpose

humanities hope



Writers statement:

Conceptually love, is a universal feeling that people understand instinctively. It permeates our social/cultural worldviews connecting us biologically, spiritually is fluid and dynamic. The first three talk about love for another and love of self/spiritual awakening. The last is symbolic of sacrifice/ love for the planet, the importance of fighting for causes and integrity in our personal/ community lives.

Premium Member Quirks For Me

Oh, how can I describe you, ME,
     When that's the person I can't see?
I look and look, and look some more,
          Then ... lose what I was looking for!

You see, my mind spins on, no ends,
     Awake or sleeping, still it wends ...
On several levels, all the time,
          Games and numbers, music, rhyme ...

Reading backwards, cleaning house,
     (It's no mistake I'm sans a spouse),
Physics problems solved for "fun",
          Now THAT should frighten ANYone!

Disposed to casting crazy lots,
     Unless I grind a thousand thoughts ...
Asleep, my dreams go on and on,
          From shuteye 'til I blink the dawn.

I get no rest while lids are closed,
     Intent on former questions posed ...
How can I let enigmas nurse
          Such myst’ries of the Universe?!?

Oh, some find "complex" people grand,
     Though clearly fail to understand ...
That others often think me odd,
          Preoccupied - conceptually flawed ...

And while that MAY be quite correct,
     I'm glad I'm stuck with this defect,
For all these quirks are purely ME ...
          And that's who I was born to be!

Star Talk, Shadow Walk

next time you look at those twinkles in the night sky
and sigh, there'll be a glimmer in your eye ...

what if light is the language of Star
and Star is the language of night
and night is the feeling of ineffable space
where the infinite writes insight,

with plasma roiling from its transmuting pen
into particles 'n photons that zeal;
that seems to me, to be so very real ...

then our shadow we see,
slow diving on the ground,
is a reminder of the night we carry,
everyday around

on journaling: if you don't know where you've been, you'll not see where you are and can't
get to where you ought to be - the transmigration of writers is with ink - then there are
curious circles that fill our days and when we write them out and really look and see, a
turn of phrase that changes us conceptually, as the circle becomes spiral, a vortex to the
sky, where the Stars of hope wink 'n blink, and beckon us to fly


A Wisdom Driven Life

The Book of Proverbs deals with wisdom and instructions 
Its God's word on how to live a life of knowledgeable production 
Its a reflection on godly actions and godly behavior 
A wisdom driven book served with some spiritual flavor 
So when you read this book don't take it literally 
Contextualize the words and reflect on them conceptually 

Wisdom is supreme and we need to heed it totally
And then apply it to life in a way most seriously
And when we use the words of God and all the truth it contains 
Lead us not to our own understanding but allow the Holy Spirit to reign
To meditate and contemplate on the anointed word of God 
By infusing it into our souls, our minds and our hearts 

A wisdom driven life is to come to discover 
That If you use godly wisdom over adversity you'll recover 
Now better able to deal with life's highs and lows 
Now better able to deal with people and their drama shows 
Now better able to overcome addictions in all its forms
By apply godly wisdom to help you stay strong 

A wisdom driven life is to trust in God's directions 
By using His wisdom with skillful discretion 
Now prepared when opportunity does come
Not allowing anything to make you cut and run
And it matters not your age, your gender nor your race
Now using godly wisdom to rise up in place 

So don't allow anyone to perceive you as just a hustler or a taker
Use the gifts that God's given to you to be a mover and a shaker
No longer to use social media as just something to amuse
To turn it into a business so that income will infuse
To stop using drugs and alcohol to anesthetize your pain
No longer distracted as a way to deflect your hurt and shame
Now thinking outside of the box and letting wisdom rule 
As wisdom is knowledge and knowledge is God's most powerful tool
