I blame them instead of myself.
Seems easier somehow....

But once you understand that truth, you will understand how to move foward....

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....

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....

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?...

                                        wisdom earned not free
                                      a restless pilgrim's journey ~
                                                 fears 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...

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....

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.

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...

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

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....

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!

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...

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

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....

I could sell my house but then I would not have it,
so why would I do that?

I could shave my head, but I already look ridiculous
so what would be the point?

I could rent out my art studio, but the only thing I would get is money though,
I already work, right?

I could part with my dog, if I was dead, and if all my relatives were dead too.
Maybe not....
