Glass Throne – A Poem Collab with Ink Empress Note:- Before diving into my Multi-media, Music video “Glass Throne”, I encourage you to first read the Lead Up poem below which is a collaboration with the popular Ink Empress. BREAKING NEWS WOW!! - I just got an email and am so excited to say that the Australian branch SAYS NO MORE - which is part of the NO MORE-international group have accepted my two music videos 'King On A Throne' and 'Glass Throne', and want to meet me to discuss. Wow - Now this will truly get out to the world and spread the word. VIDEO DESCRIPTION Unveil the powerful story of liberation with "Glass Throne."

THE POEM (In Collaboration with Ink Empress) Enduring in the gullibility of your vacuous domain Where viciousness stretched its cruel chains, and vain vows cast in silver lined threads were soft enough to soothe, but sharp enough to shred. I followed the fractures, fine as hair, witnessed truth crackle through oxygenated air. Your crown — little more than gilded dust, from my puppet strings severed I placed my trust that you’d come undone from your reign unjust... And in your castle carved from fears, bloom black orchids, drenched in thistles of tears, veiling the moon with lethal lace, perfumed with poison, in gruesome grace. Yet I refuse to drown in the seas of the artless, like a marionette, silenced and heartless: for I am the silhouette of silk and solace, soaring beyond chains of brutality and malice, To an island where thorn less love blooms, and faith is the melody to erase written gloom, from the sinister streaks of the narcissistic sun-stain I ricochet amidst the night and champagne rain...

Thank you so much Paul for your astute comment as always. We always look forward to your review. The first one to this is 'The Throne Of Glass' targeted towards the younger generation. Michael Tor honoured us with producing a musical/video, which you may have already seen - 'A Wish Upon A Star' all also on YouTube. The latest on YouTube is 'A Colour That Defies' partly in (google translated French - Lol) I hope you like it- I haven't posted in on PS. Thanks again Paul and stay well - Hugs my friend - Maria

What a masterful piece!! Superb teamwork! This is something I saw on YouTube. Your generosity and kindness with your time are truly inspiring. The quality of your projects is consistently lifting. In this sincere partnership, dear friend Ink Empress and Maria, you raise consciousness about the plight of victims of harassment, and we chant the praises of your humanitarian endeavors from the rooftops. This provides victims the strength they require to escape their attackers. These Resilient lines are expressed with such elegance and splendor, despite the dangers they endure. Excellent teamwork. This is of course a fave

Thank you Sotto, not only for your visit but for your astute comment. Yes i agree that we must all do our part to stamp out - even in a small way and show these conditioned souls that there is a way out and it's in their hands. I'm so appreciative to Ink Empress for her excellent contribution to the lead up poem and that she will be flying the banner in her circle. Thank you too for visiting my channel - I wouldn't have known until you mentioned it here. I try and answer all comments there too- Hugs Maria and all of us

I listened to it over at Ink's page. It's so gorgeous, the way it's filmed, the lyrics, the characters in the video and the symbols used. It really deserves to be seen all over. FAVE.

We thank you Andrea for your Visit and FAVE. I'm so glad you resonated with the subtle symbolism. Ron will be pleased with your appreciation of the video editing. Indeed, this message needs to be spread far and wide to get people unconditioned and take charge, reclaiming their true worth. We are so appreciative of not only Ink Empress's excellent contribution of the lead up poem but also that she will take up the flag and spread the message in her circle. Hugs for us all

Brilliant writing! Great collaboration! I am reminded of a few of my favorite quotes: God and you are a majority. And, better to be alone and lonely, rather than together and miserable. We make prisoners of ourselves, when we imagine that we need something outside of ourselves to feel full and completed. Good relationships are a desired luxury...But divine completeness, essence, requires only, free and pure Love.

Thank you Michael for your most eloquent summation of the Video musical and to Ink Empress for her excellent collaboration on the lead up Poem itself. as well as volunteering to promote this cause in her circle. My gratitude and wish that it may help even some people to reclaim their individuality and break free for the conditioned shackles of the abusers - Women and Men alike. My thanks go out to the 'Say No More Group' for looking at the video on my channel and getting in contact with me. I feel they are the right mix. Serendipity happens.

PS in relating your musical message and reading and hearing and seeing this video. I think back of the songs by the Eagles "Already Gone." In one of the versus in the Lyrics they sing "So often Time it happens that we live our lives in Chains, and we never even know we have the key." People in abusive relationships sometimes they don't know they have the key to open those chains that are keeping them in that relationship and set themselves free from the bondage of an abusive relationship. Profound lyrics that are in line with your message of empowerment to break free...

and Ink Empress collaboration will be show cased and promoted to fight against controlling spousal abuse. Empowering those to break free from such abuse, is their message in the songs. How great is that to be selected to bring this out to the world? Maria and her Husband Ron Williams along with Ink Empress have worked together to bring forth such a valued message for in essence a great Humanitarian Cause. They are all recognized through their Poetry, music and video production, through this great Honor. Congratulations to all three of you for receiving such a great Honor. My wife Judy and I are so Proud of you three, for your efforts in making aware of this abuse and empowering those that are abused to break free from those that are abusive... Again Congratulations Maria, Ink Empress, and Ron Williams Heroes to those who break free...

Thank you Dear Inky, for you support and marvellous contribution to the poem. I'm flattered by the praise you bestow on me. You are a beautiful soul and your empathy shines through especially in your efforts to free the unfortunate people who are bound down by conditioned shackles and narcissistic bullying. I'm sure as a mental health advocate you will help them rise above that, and I know it is hard for you to stay strong in the face of that negativity. Thank you again for keeping the flag flying. Hugs and lots of light to you from Ron and myself

Thank you so much for your visit Aura. I'm so glad you liked it. I trust this will get out into the world now that the 'NO MORE' international group have made an approach on the "King On The Throne' and this one. No one Woman or Man needs to accept or be subjected to a dominating situation. Sincere thanks to Inky for her collaboration and for her continued efforts to help the unfortunate souls who are surrounded with negetivity. Hugs Maria
