Emergency

Inspired by Terilee’s friendship and love and her amazing pattern work.
After I made this poem I thought of her work and I went to this one in particular that still stays in my heart and her poem is perfect with this piece too.
OUT OF ME

Artist: TeriLee

Out Of Me

These patterns
The daily routine
The life I lead
Sometimes
They get stuck
On their way
Out of me

TERILEE 2009

Thanks so much Ms. TL! xox

Emergency belongs to the following groups:

Complex Simplicity of Art, ABSTRACT DIGITAL ART AND WRITING, Alternative Process and Experimental Photography, Art in Math, Core [C.O.R.E], Feminine Intent (LIMIT TWO IMAGES PER DAY), in-between, Light In The Darkness, Nirvana (Only 1 photographic art and 1 written work will be accepted per day ), The Healing Journey, THE SISTERHOOD and Up & Coming Writers

Then we hit the brick wall,

I thought I could mirror timelessness
Endless promise
Snow angels in March.
Now,
Melting between my fingers
Quick like creations
Street art
With names like
Bantu and Quaymaynaya
Promises Promises Promises

I saw more highlife beginnings and crystal ball
Endings today than I ever thought possible,
But if we began the dance steps
Changing up the 3 steps to 2.
Where to next?
With melodies like
What brought us together?
Butterfly kisses with long lashes baby
Or
Profound intelligence’ make loquacious lovers.
What would happen then?
Would our Nameless urgencies
And modified heartbeats
Develop into the Karma of Camellia?

You said you could find me
Anywhere, Anyplace
By the sound of my heartbeat,
And then once I told you what you wanted
To hear
And then I stopped saying what I wanted to say.
That was the beginning I think
When the story became more
Suspended
Hopes and dreams were
Laid out like patterns with
No faces to draw upon
As the God says nothing close to me
Shall you see

So then,
The mighty winds of change
Did come
And layed us out
Cold
Particles of sand shed all the layers we thought
Useful in emergencies..

And say I,
People die in emergencies,
They just do
But then some do live to tell.

    a wordmagician, you are :)

  • linaji replied

    Roy, ... I have not had the opportunity to tell you how much your words and your work really strike at my heart. You are a great artist and I am feeling so much appreciation for your attention.. really really feels so good. Since you have come here to the bubble you have brought a level of intorspection and intelligence that allows all of us to expand and feel comfortable in the expansion.. I want to thank you for that also.. Your truth and your candor are absolutely amazing as I feel sometimes men are not so prone to doing the type of exposure of ones.. strengths and weaknesses.. You are a rock for me and I truly mean that. So seeing your icon always makes me feel I done Ok… I am an artist too with a sweet need for my peers to somehow accept me and perhaps on some days even love me.. tender.. Bless you friend..xox

    Do you know that old wise chinese saying…..
    “Do not mistake your heartbeats with the clapping of horses hoofs”
    So your love seemed to gallop quickly beguining and ending while the earth trembled with the new found love.
    More than once do our hearts beat in such a way…
    overflowing the excitement of having found some we extremely like…..and fearing that this one…soon will be leave us.
    Rosa (your poem sounds like an old black and white movie…)

  • linaji replied

    Ohh Rosa.. I do hope I can find a piece of art to reflect this insight! Again.. your eyes, heart and feelings.. are one strong unit of breath.. xo

    What a true story you tell Linaji… it happens again and again and again, until you get tired of trying to reach into your pocket for a tissue you know you no longer have, to dry tears that are only flowing inside, so nobody can see them behind the forever so kindly conventional smile.

    Oh, so happy we are! So tender we seem to be. My God, we are living in Haven and did not know it until this poem of yours. You inspire Lina! Fear. Not. Love. Yes.

  • linaji replied

    my tender friend Vasile.. your such a story teller too. your art and your insight and your joy and fun..
    you give me a great feeling by being just you you you.
    Sending you a huge HUG!
