PoeTree of Life
lightning struck
Mon, June 23, 2008 - 3:19 PMam i such a known entity?
what is it that thrills me eternally?
novelty.
that blessed curse that keeps the world spinning on its axis and will not let me stop moving even for a moment, i catch my breath in between gasps of unfamiliar air, chasing after my own ether.
either this or that.
where does inspiration come from and to where does it return?
i walk in a daze through the days of my life catching glimpses of brilliance between cracking open and sealing the seams with dust and petals and brine.
i am nothing without a muse. unfocused, unmotivated. the desire to create desire. the desire to transcend desire. the drive to move beyond such human cycles. releasing desire in the name of true pleasure. perhaps.
how undeniable subtlety can be
and how subtle, undeniability...
how immediately the moment goes molten
and only salt remains...
The noun of the self becomes a verb
eternally in fluid flux
yet solid in its flow.

From what I know of you.....
Your muse the source of infinite existence itself. That's why your poetry makes me cry. From what I know of infinite existence..... It can't dry up. Ever. Just got the sms, and I'm free anytime this week. :) |

ah, yes... I am all that, too...
my greatest fear has become stagnation, so I keep moving, choosing a life ungrounded but ever event-ful, ever novel, ever thrilling, often inspiring. But in the end, after all these years, I am all too recognizable to myself, following many of the same roads I've traveled before, with a few refreshing side trips -aha, something new! yes, the novelty... and always within some lesson learned. But it has it weariness too. Ive carried the same story waiting to be written for over ten years, waiting for what? a room to finally be at peace in? to go back to school, and brush up my confidence in my skills? the knowing that I'm not as good as you, or so many others? to find a balance or a certain state of mind? a muse to inspire? a love who would believe in me enough to sit by my side unflinching through all the raw ugly beautiful birthing process of a project with all the raging range of emotions it would entail? I have never been as creative as when I've been in love. And the rest of the time... a thousand unborn poems a day. What is inspiration?... a moment, or a memory? I remember one night in missouri, standing plastered to the window in an unfinished empty house, not wanting to walk the 3 miles home through the flat farmland... and we stayed up, watching the most epic lighting storm I have ever seen rage across the land. I miss midwest storms. This I hold as a part of me, of my past, of my core being. But what do I do with that, now? I cannot create until I have taked care of my survival. I cannot give until I have been fed. And everyday has been about bare basic survival... emotional and spiritual as much as physical. About every present moment. About desire. And its blessed, and its beautiful as it is painful... but what sustains us through... enough to birth our art into the world? |
