Underglaze on ceramic and coated with glaze.
The poems here are the topics that are explored in this body of work.
Presence of the sound of water:
when the moon smiles
I smile back at it.
but sometimes I find myself
yelling and scream at its direction
begging for it to go faster
although the moon shifts quicker
than I do. I'm still impatient so free me
find me a cold lake
I want to immerse myself in it
the rock in the sky and the
water in the ground natural ability
to extend power and influence
towards and through my being
reaching out and doing the same
to others without having to encounter
the creator of memories nor the logic observer
but feel with my soul
and the real roots interchanging for a change
free me from the middle
instill in me some of ur
secrets, let u and I get in touch
and balance our dreams & realities
for I have been sick, for too long.
I won't come out until all
the sensations have left.
having returned from a different place
back into my warm center
there where I sit, I should stay grounded only of you I shall speak.
the shortcuts of the mind & sound, sensation
heres 2 stones, 2 hearts might as well destroy them
for many reasons but manly the trees, the skyz and this bed I lay on
may they never have a future of love & laughter,
because they are the worst of each other muddied in lust & brutality
In a land that lost all its boundaries then decide to rebuild,
A society after another willing to trade and replace, throw out its inhabitants going and leaving the inner and outer battles to die
continue less but fornever to repeat
Parts of My Misfor tune.
It's good to learn to be alone but never really to live everyday thankful of those who see u the way you do, not to dismiss you as an insane or crazy passerby. To recognize the few even if they're not right next to you. those that helped you along the way and restored your memory. In hopes to pass on the love, experience and sensitivity back into the community. living by the manifestation of the good that was offered.
that will throw you back into reality feet first. To know now to stay away from the one's that might think they're helping and imprison you. Life has taught us to deal with some a certain way.
with dealing and being dealt inshallah will remember that once the time is here. Whom and what parts can you trust to observe you.
I couldn’t hear, sea or speak I could just feel. Life is a game until someone’s gets serious and pulls out a metaphorical gun.
I sit on my throne, and I’ve rebuilt its base on which it sits on, and bubble around it. I found it with in me right in the center of my being. I’m here to play one last time. Out of the matrix catching a wave is where I’ll end up with no physical reflection or projection of this world around me. Only the markings my spirit will hold. Had played the game will be accessible in my soul, I will not be in a land where I’m disadvantaged.
Knowledge is important because it lays out a path. Innerstanding is important cause it lays out a plan. Visualizing and articulating are important cause it manifests. To learn it is a path only you can take. I choose to function in this world but also to journey in the other with my anchor tied to my foot. Both worlds are different and do not always validate each other. The human experience and the phenomenon of dreams validate them.
for now and once again my peer these are the topics discussed in the black and blue state of presence series.
may the memory of salt water forever guide you and no greedy dam stop you.
