Hiatus

Sometimes it can be difficult to understand how what you did effects what you will do. 
But once you understand that truth, you will understand how to move foward.

Premium Member Part of the Problem Not the Solution

It’s not rocket science you know,
Either you are part of the problem
Or part of the solution.
And how we stand
Is only really knowable
To us alone.

To Ashes

You were the oxygen to the fire in me.
As I consumed you, the fire in me grew
Until I burnt myself inside out,
Until everything that was left of me 
Was ash and dust.

Sun

When i first kissed her, verses were beating in my heart.
I was like a bee on a sunflower.
The numbness you feel
running through my ink,
Is nothing but that nectar spill-over.

Self-Reflection 2k11

Forsooth blessed be the very first breath,  
Life - quoth a preparation thought far brief.  
O we fade as being kissed by death;  
Hath thy day been seized therein a dream brief?

Self Reflection

an internal journey 
of self reflection 
started walking  
at a young age
still walking  
that road  
only half way 
down the trail  
at this point 
the path of 
reflection is 
a life long 
journey

Mirror

 
i
Weaker, drowning in ego Six estranged hours bleet commands Today vanished: 2 ticks, 2 tocks Nothing nests at my desk Fragment aspects, time slipping On course with the "I Am" Ringing for dinner is Pavlov

Who I Am

Lost and forgotten
Are the patterns of myself,
A self rekindling
Kindled clarity, opening doors,
Doorways facing me.

Found under rocks
Rocking away the illusions,
Illusorily slipped on
Onto the new integrated, I Am ~
Changed and changing me.

Self-Reflection

Cheer me, you false monotheist,
On what quest shall I partake,
Like a lively baron with no plate,
'Cause the end is created by the fake,
The Great Solemn is what it takes,
The greatest question shall I say,
For what purpose shall I stay.

Premium Member Inward journey

focusing on me
inner thoughts and emotions
putting myself right

my personal growth
a time for self-reflection
aligning purpose

let negative go
grasping life's positive
becoming happy

asking God for truth
for the power to follow him
guidance in beliefs

Premium Member Twirling Whirling Swirling Into Myself

Twirling, whirling, swirling into myself
I listen to my ready soul
I take blank canvas off a shelf

Twirling, whirling, swirling into myself
My muse becomes my happy elf.
As I begin, I feel whole


Twirling, whirling, swirling into myself
I listen to my ready soul

Premium Member Misconceptions of Perceptions

As you peer at self reflection

Be mindful of misconception

Consider others’ perception

To guide in the right direction

Are you as you appear

This requires much introspection

To see your portrait clear

Jewel

If at dawn,
in the first splash of infancy,
the cherub falls to the floor like a dead orchid, maternal
blood shall stain the symbol
of creation, a man
alone
without wisdom,
love,
or self-reflection,
is duly disunited from the root of truth,
“communication;”
the jewel
that brands us human.

Self Reflection

When you walk into my world
You test your own love
By your own self!
If you want to stay, stay! 
If you want to go, go!
My waters will not ripple…!
But should you decide to stay!
I will tell you what love means,
I will show you what love is,
I will teach you, how to walk on water!

Self Reflection

Can you
feel me?
Can you 
see me?
Can you 
be there 
for me?
Or is
this
a fantasy?
Really...
Questions
I ask
myself
As an
Artist
and a
Woman
with 
special needs 
and
sensitivities 
Who really
can we be?
Will you
be there 
for me?
or will you
Exploit my
Insecurities?

REALLY

Opacity

The mirror poses 
with a strangers heart, 
gazing in accusation,
Nameless. 
Faceless. 
An incarnation of pain 
possessing the body,
And yet — 
I reach. 
For that obsidian glaze.
For the opacity that hides your face. 
For a remnant of strength.
For salvation. 
For something that still remembers my name.

As Aquinas Asked

Without there being a God,
  we could never question his existence

Through the shadows of the interrogatory
  divinity shines

Do apes question, do birds question,
  do flowers question—Aquinas asked 

Only through the act of self-reflection 
   —is the Creator truly known

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2018)

maybe it’s me

maybe it’s not you.
maybe it’s everyone else.
or maybe…
it’s me.

the one always called
too emotional,
too cold.

so maybe what i need
is a plant
growing slower than my thoughts,
a cycle
moving forward when i cannot,
a lego set
to build,
to break,
to begin again.

and maybe then
anger
will finally
leave me alone.

Premium Member Self-Love

So in love with me. Why shouldn't I be? I'm
My own person original  from all others. We
have comparable needs and wants nevertheless some of us are extraordinaire  beyond the webs of life that guides us to rediscover  self love, respect that's self evident
that we all seek self respect,  self sacrifice  to acquire self love within self-reflection.
