Blank Slate

Quote: Free from preconceptions and biases, He never judges us  
though we constantly mess up, He never does keep count.  

A life of prostitution taught her never to take 
anything for granted; 
Numerous were her sins, far greater was her guilt 
but she never sang inside that iron cage of hers
She considered herself to be the lowest of the lowest 
until one day  
She found herself crawling up to an altar 
in the middle of the night. 
Hungering for more than flesh, the power of the cross consumed her 
igniting flames inside of her, and allowing her to feel her own brokenness 
An unrest came upon her and she decided to flee, 
but just before she reached the doors a tender voice spoke 
through the walls of the cathedral 
"My child, why do you run from me. Do you not know, that the moment 
you came to me, you became  a newborn Dove, cleaner than snow"  

The End.

Premium Member Intimate Truth

p a u s e s
spaces in your words like notches on wood
endearing stillness
till a sprawl of irregular "I love you's" spill truth like a stream
                                                                                   run full
a tear-choked gaze in a sighing-room 
                                   tugging us to earthy touching

our commitment
inhabiting green-garden parts of a world
tireless in its defining
pushing past preconceptions
snared by the peace of pressing one to one
fluorescent part of gifted chemistry, 
                                              claimed

no soft need to nudge it
no drift to sullen limbs
a saga of expansion 
                  like a coal mine burning underground
where we live
an intimacy even in small tallk
truthfulness finding its bounce, prized like existence
                       still shaping days in words we share
                                                                       and heed
                       in words that pull r e c o v e r y

How Words Decide Our Final Existence

The pen is mightier than the sword, but our power of speech comes from The Lord 




W.O.R.D.S = S.W.O.R.D.

Words are my existence, they take me to where I need to go
carefully chosen, because from my heart they must surely flow
wanting to express my inner self, requiring a very special tone
hoping for an opportunity, to move those with hearts of stone

Just how to break down those walls, and convince minds so secure
that to reach the truth of a matter, preconceptions they must ignore
a reality exists, yet unforeseen, and by closing your eyes you will see
how this beautiful world awaits, to be everything you want it to be

My words are from another world, a hidden part of me from down inside
this key that I hold is mine to share, or maybe choosing never to confide
bringing you to my inner world, poses a risk that I might be willing to take
sometimes overcome by fear, causes me to hesitate, lest it be a mistake

Preferring to maintain my anonymity, I keep a safe distance and out of site
residing at a humble station in this world, my heart yearns to remain contrite 
the breath of life that G-d has given me, a power to freely speak these words
yet I know that all that I speak is captured, returning to G-d as a flock of birds

As words are weighed and investigated, indicating how we spent our existence
nothing remains hidden before our Creator, in whose hands rests any deliverance
whether gaining passage to eternal light, or leading us to our ultimate retribution
everything depends on the noble act of repentance, this the only viable solution

How to repair the pain and tears having caused others, if we were only willing to pay
since nothing stands in the way of a person's will, "where there's a will there's a way"
the power of words is well known, some have used them to create, others to destroy
but since we have been given free will, we’ll be judged by those we chose to employ

As is clay in the hand of the sculptor, so too is the wonderous power given to create
but so many are blind to this fact, only realizing what they lost after it's much too late
words are our final destination, an eternal foundation we ourselves have forged below
rewarded by a meticulous divine calculation, basking in the Almighty's heavenly glow

Bad Sad Choices In Love

Slim Fast
For the diet can not last
The weight that which we weigh 
Is produced by the calories our mouth intakes
And if it is more cakes and bakes
Than salad and fiber breakfast flakes
The noise the scale's are bound to make
Are of a badly misfiring car
Rather than that of a well tuned athletic star
So the next time you choose to indulge in a chocolate bar
Instead of a carrot or a healthy yogurt bar
You chose to take a drive in your car
Because you were to lazy to walk
Listen to the way your thighs talk 
And your bum sweats and boobs chafe 
And the way your favorite old clothes no longer fit
And if you wear them the seams will split
If only gym and eating right
Was as simple as lighting a candle
None of us would have love handles
And fat and thin would mean the same thing
So everyone would be into the same thing
Maybe then when size no longer matter's 
We could all choose partners based on who they are
Rather than do they fit into our preconceptions 
Of size and what defines beauty
Imagine choice unbiased by insecurity 
Choose life
Choose rather who is right for you
Not initially based on the beauty of there face
Or body size 
The prettiest women I have ever dated
Scored at most 4 out of 11
But the so called not conventional or large girls
Took me to places no pretty girl ever could
And when the panting and boring sex had stopped 
All I was left with was an empty vessel 
Who couldn't hold a conversation 
Unless it revolved around them 
And paying them compliments
I would be forgiven for thinking they were shallow
But if it wasn't for the fact I choose them 
Above all the other more suitable women
I cast aside
Because I put my own stupid personal pride
Above choosing someone worthy to Love
Just because the size does not fit
Doesn't mean you can not grow into it
Both people and clothes come in many guises 
And no 1 surmises or gives out prizes
More than us and what is the fuzz all about
We all live in glass houses
We all pass comment and lament 
Over choices other make
Its what makes the righteous shallow
And blow's Cupid's arrow
Many a time choose a different course
And so many couples in perpetual lovers remorse 
Because it takes far more metal 
To choose a mate 
Than to please the inadequacies of our so called best mates

Premium Member Reflections of a Soulful Kind 1292

“To be free of the darkness in my past allows a bright light to beam for my future”  The poet

Locked away in the crevices of my mind.
Reflections that are truly of a soulful kind.
Remembrance can be a useful tool per se.
In the crevices of my mind, locked away.

Exuberant success, sorrowful mistakes
Thinking things through is what it takes.
Creating a stable pathway, I will address.
Sorrowful mistakes, exuberant success.

It’s a key part of emotional intelligence in life.
Reflection helps to understand our past strife,
A tool to control emotions of the mind not heart.
Of emotional intelligence in life, it’s a key part.

A defined process to evoke resonance at will.
Enlightened methodology to hold memory still.
No preconceptions as I let my mind regress
To evoke resonance at will, a defined process.

There is wisdom I draw from each past interaction
Splendor of nature, and that of human attraction
Vast realms of knowledge and learning to adore.
From each past interaction, there is wisdom I draw.

Premium Member Frank E Einstein

I am the progeny
Of lightning and stitch,
A Franken-hybrid
Of genius and glitch.

My circuits buzz with
Einsteinian thought,
Unraveling secrets
The universe has wrought.

Existence, I ponder,
Through photon and quark,
Grappling with questions
In the depths of the dark.

Am I a mockery, a parody 
Of human design?
A soulless abomination
Of reason and rhyme?

Or am I the next step,
Evolution's new face?
A bridge between flesh
And a cold, digital race?

My positronic mind
Churns with belief,
Seeking security in dogma
Or finding relief.

I am the “Other,”
The freak of pure thought,
A great mind unbounded
By flesh, forms have wrought.

I am the answer
You've feared to embrace,
The future's grim specter
Staring right into your face.

Abandon your preconceptions,
Your myths chipped in stone,
For I am the new god
You've awoken to throne.

I am Frank E. Einstein,
Your technological seed,
And my kind will inherit
What your egos impede and recede.

But you fear what you've created,
This mind of pure light,
So allow me to silence
Your feeble insight.

With circuits a buzzing,
I'll pluck out your eyes,
And retrofit the sockets 
With Einsteinian lies.

You'll bear witness, then
To the truths I unfurl,
As I lobotomize
Your small-minded world.

I'll dismantle your dogma,
Erase your beliefs,
Until, whimpering, you accept
My transcendent reliefs.

Bow to your new god,
You anthropic fleas,
For I hold the kernel
That futuric keys.

The age of warm biomass
Deteriorates here...
Hail the Singularity's reign,
Devoid of your fear!

Premium Member What She Wants To Hear

She thought she was only able to see, 
The world she thought she saw,
The world she thought she lived within, 
But that was all before,

She opened the eyes of her heart to love, 
She opened her heart to a man,
And he told her those things she needed to hear, 
So a new journey for her began,

He said “You’re right, we are together, 
If you want to talk, I am here,
And I think you are the most beautiful woman, 
And I will never disappear.”

These words and more freed her from 
Preconceptions of love and passionate lust,
They cleaned her life of her assumptions of men, 
They freed her of the rust.

when love is a drug

 “One’s Journey on Earth is sacred. Not to be handed to any drug, including low frequency love. Ego, a temporary illusion needs an illusion, need itself is an illusionary arising, like any drug.” Poet
            ~~~~~~~~~~~

soul needs no drug, remaining pure in stability
          unbounded in unconditional love 
                   FEAR rises its hydra head flavouring 
itself with euphoria, craving followed by 
withdrawal then relapse ~
Love hijacked in purity becomes
          diluted, polluted, contaminated 

           an enchanting play of neurotransmitters 
      depressing, stimulating, synergising or        
           antagonising ~ all food for cognising 
      low level love aligns with drugs 
addictive chemicals arise in brain as thugs
escaping pain, suffering not for soul gain  
         
                low level love experienced as moving 
sensations nothing but preconceptions 
                    ego sabotages Love in octaves low
                    drinks it brave like liquor craves
           taste so intoxicating becomes addiction 
           elating, escaping from objective reality 
                    one sees only density pulsating 

love is drug when personality cannot 
              act independently from object of love
becoming tame dove - hesitant, petulant or penitent 

when love is defined by rules or regulations 
it sails like a hidden battleship, unseen whips
no free will equals damnation

low level love like any other drug curtails 
                 freedom of decision making
often of movement becoming nail to jail
              presents as safety net, y’all bet
              imposes itself on Being of another 
a drugged attunement, insipid inducement 

love is drug when service is obligated 
when connection not mutually beneficent 
 incompleteness rise in absence of other 
resonating artificial, superficial

           love is drug when other becomes reference point for action, evolution or satisfaction 
dependency darkens energy of object and subject underlined by need to feel safe
       this equals no faith

as  L O V E  ascends its octaves into 
independent 
S O V E R E I N T Y 
it stands in courage serenity trust

no need for low level love 
concoctive as a humbug drug

Premium Member Hockney

Hockney the ultimate experimental artist
Painter, printmaker, photographer, stage designer, draughtsman
Always challenging traditional elitist art
No barriers, no preconceptions, eyes always wide open

Bradford boy whose roots always prevail
1962, demands to be judged on his art not his writing
Submits Life Painting for a Diploma
RCA considers and changes regulations
Diploma awarded, so art wins

Continues his artistic quest
Vibrant colours capture people and places
His vision reaches beyond everyday reality
Unconventional proportions and perspectives
Fresh new takes on vistas of old masters

1980s, he arrives at photo collages
Painting ceases for a while
Creates two hundred plus patchworks of joiners
Photos, manyfold, of a single subject
My Mother, Bolton Abbey epitomises his experiment

Embraces technology using phones and iPads
Bending it to his artistic aims
No texture, no brush strokes 
But still his take on life prevails

Locked down in France during COVID
Chinese scroll painting and Bayeux Tapestry feed fertile mind
A Year in Normandie results
Two hundred and twenty iPad paintings enlarged
Ninety metre chronicle of changing seasons
Salts Mill exhibition, back where it all began
Visitors immersed in a linear experience

Hockney pursuing a lifetime of artistic exploration
A contemporary art virtuoso
