Not all kings rest on thrones.

There are those who seek further guidance in wild untamed places where Wisdom speaks in Nature and Living.
Do not assume that because one appears ragged, they hold no crown.

A Requiem for The Lady of Lavender from Queens

 

Sometimes, even writers don’t have the right words to convey a feeling, but we know it as truth, from balls to bones. 
Such that even a glimpse of an image will leave you breathless.
I cherish these moments, for in truth they are eternal, as long as passion’s inferno burns within me.

I have in my mind for a time toyed with this endeavor,

Placing some constructed barrier between it and I, until one afternoon, in a little coffee shop, I caught a scent all too familiar, and my heart took possession over me…

Now—I have my words for You…

 

I need for you to know, that even as brief as our relationship was, I don’t regret a moment of it—not a single one.

If there is any wish, it is that I wish I’d been a better communicator during our moment.

You will always be with me; anytime I think of Queens, every time I smell lavender. I cannot shake those moments from my heart, and I never want to, for those memories are treasured by me.

I wish you wellness and wealth in all forms, in all lives, and I thank you,

for your shine…in mine.

How Do Geniuses Love?

  1. I would suspect as everyone else desires to.
  2. Awakened this a.m., by the tidal wave of emotions swelling within.
  3. This isn't new; it comes and goes.
  4. But, if I am the genius many have proclaimed--then I want to know exactly how does a genius--love?
  5. I don't know enough in this life...
  6. My hunger is greater as my days linger.
  7. And yet, though each step and strive made I know to be a victory, I cannot help but feel I am missing something--some lesson or important truth I've yet to learn.
  8. Intellects and Artisans cannot possibly know enough if they cannot be open to receive and share love. And the traumas in my life exploit the paradox of living; It finds me retreating from that which I greatly desire, that which I achingly need...
  9. But, I am greater than my pain, and still--I must endure it.
  10. We--I have hidden behind my gifts, attempted to harden my heart, but in truth I cannot.
  11. I am a jagged mountain smoothed by time and love's natural elements, and I hope in that seasoning--my heart gains a beautiful insight.

Morning Bread

I’m going to do my best to paraphrase this excellent statement offered by Terrance SetepenRa Wilson this morning:

“You are the victor of 999 million potentials, surviving an arduous environment and great odds, then enduring an even potentially deadlier environment for a period of time, just to make it out ALIVE-prepared to begin yet ANOTHER journey on THIS plane!

Why in the hell would you endure such trials only to be normal???

Of 999 million sperm potentials—YOU endured, and came forth—to be the only expression of creation you could possibly be: YOURSELF.” (paraphrased)

To All Artists:

Your gift is unique because YOU are Unique.
So do what no one else can do:

BE YOU. DO YOU.

FUCK BEING LIKE SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE REST ASSURED—YOU WILL SUCK AT THAT.

I Love You All.

If you create art and share that art, you belong to everyone.
Sadly, many will not fully appreciate the gift you are to the world.
Make sure you never degrade your own worth; that you NEVER forget who you are.

In this world, you can be condemned for creating beauty.

  1. I want to experience love-making beneath a tree either in the Spring or Autumn seasons--completely nude...for several hours.

Le Sighs...

  1. An artist's path and a warrior's path share a blatant commonality: They each walk alone.
  2. There is an ancient war within, and until peace is known intimately, love cannot be shared with another soul.
  3. How many times have I tried, and failed? All I know is my craft, my path, and while one half of me longs for the fabled embrace, there is an equal opposite half of me that is numb, and completely immersed in the art.
  4. Tis true, there are monsters that live within us, and sometimes...those monsters win.

Mood:
Piano chords from Robert Glasper on loop…
Dillalude#2

The sun is setting on this late Autumn afternoon, and I am besieged by the embrace of nostalgia.
Memories of simpler times, moments of fellowship…Stolen moments now, as the season of Change has created oceans between souls.
And you wonder what to do in moments like these, that sneak up on you without warning; do you dance in the wake of their song, or do you weep because they’ve sung and gone—and you remain, the keeper of keepsakes that others have forsaken…

What do you do?

I have not the strength to dance, nor have I the taste for tears.
So, I sit, and I listen—as the birds chirp a melancholy tune in honor of what might have been, if friends were truly friends.

I sit, and I weep with pen.

On my mind tonight....

  1. Timing. It is so very important. If you are not careful, you will awaken one day--and the jewel you've sought the entirety of your Days will be naught but a memory.
  2. They say Time is the inferno that burns Mens souls, and we--in our futility seeking to control the outcome of all things, ultimately 'miss out.'
  3. Is it fair? Hell no. It just Is-even when that is not enough.
  4. So you tarry about, accepting. You accept where you are, feeble in your soul from hungering for your desires--desires you just...Accept.
  5. If you want it--come and claim it--if you know in your heart you deserve it.
  6. I know I wish I could....

on Happiness by: Fathom 9

  1. What does it mean to want...happiness?
  2. We effort to visualize a concrete manifestation of it, but are instead forever haunted by its elusiveness. We try to apply things to its would-be realization, but trinkets are finite, and our hunger is satiated for only a little while...
  3. In our lives, we would know an ultimate expression of the abstract happiness, commonly associated with love--which is an even more abstract sentiment.
  4. But in the end, we all want to feel happy, to know happiness, further--to be Happy in Love...
  5. There are no guidelines or handbooks gifted to us upon our birth into this life, we learn from a trial and error based existence. We take the words of other describing their own experiences, and seek to make sense with our own path--ever seeking to achieve in making the intangible as tangible as possible. If we are fortunate, we will gain vast insight whilst traversing the terrain of life.
  6. But again--in the end, we all want to be happy, and to know that what we feel, is truly real.
  7. Ironically, sometimes--that which brings us joy is not easily obtained, and we are heart-sick for this. There are the few who know that trinkets and things will never still the raging tempest of your heart; will never fill the emptiness completely, if at all--and so we oft times meet both sunset and new day plagued with internal ramblings; the side effects of imagining a world where we might truly know in life--what we seek: A place called Happy.
  8. This is a terrible truth to know, that no matter how long you search, no matter the pain endured, you may find little reprieve from the maelstrom of this world, and it will most likely deter you from your quest...leaving you to forget the whys and 'what fors'...

Would You? <3

  1. You say through Love we can do all things... Well, love--would you dance with me on a moonbeam?
  2. Would you traverse the flames of Hell with me?
  3. Would you--through any trial on this Earth--remain with me, not only accepting my brokenness and flaws, but embrace the nuance of my imperfections?
  4. I would ask no more than what I would freely give to thee...♥

Thoughts (in Short):

  1. Thoughts (in Short):
  2. First, I Am Not A Philosopher...
  3. At least not in the sense of seeking any form of credential to substantiate what I 'think' I know in 'this' moment. Emphatically no!
  4. I am, however-- 'open minded.'
  5. What does this statement mean?
  6. Many profess to be 'open-minded'--or possess 'open-mindedness...' but do we TRULY comprehend the consequences of such a statement?
  7. Yes, my mind is 'open'-resulting in the whole of 'ME/I' being 'Open.' I am not 'open' necessarily because of the ideas of others; I am 'open' because I CHOOSE to be. There is something that compels me to seek, to negotiate within, to interrogate Self in order to ask questions, to process ideas etc. That, is a Choice.
  8. Whatever I post, is never meant as a boast of what I 'think' I know, nay--it is the current result of a rigorous episode of self-interrogation presented in Real-Time, i.e.--I just surmised what I have shared, and its life is finite. The next second, the next hour, two years from now, that entire idea will likely be undone by more interior probes etc.
  9. Thus, I am no philosopher, 'cept to Self. I post and share what is intimately mine, but not mine to hold within. It is for any who shall receive it, not for the sense of self gratification, but I just thought you might like to read what's on my mind...
  10. Or not.
  11. Regardless, I'd share it anyway.
  12. 'Tis a bonus if someone finds commonality within the words, or between us, but know that I am but a vessel. An ever-evolving vessel of consciousness. It's flame fluctuates the intensity of the heat, but the Source is...and is Not, beyond my own Understanding.
  13. For this, I am exceedingly thankful. ♥

Hoping for a Better Day

  1. Sleepless night.
  2. I'm glad I heard that 911 recording, so I always remember my own capacity for empathy, and never becoming desensitized to our collective plight.
  3. I know who the enemy is--an oppressive systemic regime, and those who support it are just as enslaved to it as the rest of us.
  4. Each breath I breathe will continue to be an act of treason against that system, and all who are complicit in its atrocities will meet a bitter fate.
  5. That is Universal Law. I'm merely a conduit.
  6. People, love yourselves and live your life. Do not allow this venomous system to continue to punk you out--for the sake of your children.
  7. I love you, and that's fiercely and sincerely declared.
  8. Good Morning. ♥
