Painter, Sculpter, Poet, Creative

In the shadowed depths of her mind, she walked alone, grappling with a silent storm that threatened to engulf her world in endless night.

Electric grey
Alphabet aerobics cause
thumbs to blister 
No need for a quarter

While I grew 
in the belly she 
Rested the controller on
She’s crowned Tetris champion

Young offspring hunt ducks
On a king sized bed, 
NES essary 
when the queen paints her face

Aladin fights for his princess
In basement forts
Tossed apples
Scrolls of super codes

Santa is here
Over the Rainbow road
Friends and neighbors
A collective 64

Wii play living room 
Wimbledon
May the best 
Family win

Sold out luck
Switch on the charm 
just the magic needed
to give breath to Zelda

plastic loaded
with history, his story 
forming memories of delight
From zeros and ones

Trapped in the labyrinth of her own thoughts, she faced the specter of her fears, a relentless pursuer in the echoing corridors of uncertainty, only able to unlock the doors when she chose love.

Poem

Return

In the garden, where discord's vines entwine,
Let us cultivate the olive - all around - not just in a line,
In every seed we sow
Serenity's dove shall glow

Beneath the cosmos' veil, where silent struggles drift,
Ignite hope's lanterns, in minds agile and swift.
Where turbulent rivers dissent forcefully,
Yet the lotus bloom, calm and peacefuly.

Compose in life's symphony, a melody of repose,
While unity dances, let a peaceful ethos compose.
Amidst the clamor, let's find a voice,
That sings of love, a better choice.

Transforming the shears of anger in empathy's alchemical surge.
On time's vast canvas, compassion's seedlings emerge,
Choosing love over fear
The pathway to peace is clear. 

In our celestial odyssey, aligning stars of hope and fate,
To cultivate a portal to the 5th dimension state.
Let peace be the constellation guiding our return to love.
Creating harmony from the soil to above.

Mary

Mary chomps on a mouth full of bar nuts she manages to nick on her way backstage. Mary changes out of her red heels and red dress, and takes chalk to fix her fake seem on her stocking less legs. 

There is a light knock on the door before Joe the line chef pokes his head in to make sure Mary is alone. He smiles at her and brings her a plate of food. 

Some duck la orange for the beautiful Mademoiselle.

Mary beams a smile at him as her mouth begins to salivate and her stomach twists with hunger pangs. 

Joe gives Mary a wink as her pours the both of them a glass of wine.

Your performance was beautiful as always. 

I though I saw you poking your head through the oder window...

Mary, eat, eat. Don’t let your food get cold.

Mary cuts off a small saucy price of duck, and closes her eyes as the flavours explode in her mouth. She’s out a small moan.

Perfect. This is absolutely delicious Joe.

I love watching you eat Mary. Let me take you out for dinner. 

Seeing sounds

Seeing the sounds

of old hands full

of love. Listening to the 

wrinkles of knowledge,

a knowing

of what I

should do and what I

need to hear

Staring at the blank canvas, she found herself in a desert of creativity, where ideas once flowed like rivers now lay barren under the unyielding sun of expectation.

Clarissa Pinkola Estés

An Artist is an Artist before they have ever produced a single thing.

An Artist is an Artist no matter what. The production of something is not what makes a body an a artist. It’s the soul that makes the artist. The Center of the psyche that fills the person, the creative fire inside a person that makes them an artist. If a person has the soul of an artist, that is they have the fire, the burning, as each and every individual does, then they are an artist. They are intitled to the title of artist. We are all intitled to the title of artist before we have produced a single thing.
