Lovers featured in THE SISTERHOOD on the 6-4-09 Lovers painted in acrylic

Insane or Wired or Brilliant? Brilliant Plath disappeared in her Bell Jar / Intense Vincent Van Gogh was labelled insane / And when he cut off his ear they cried he had gone too far / They cut poor Frances Farmers emotion out of her brain / And made her placid benign boring and dull / Angelina was considered already dead / Vulnerable girl interrupted accused of a lull / Her hurt was cold but her blood was red. Insanity was thrown in my face at 17 / When the high school boys shouted / My favourite artist Van Gogh was insane… / ‘He is not’…I found my voice / ‘He is sensitive, passionate, intense, / misunderstood…and Don Mclean had / it right on that Starry Starry Night / He took his life as Lovers often do… / I could have told you Vincent this world / Was never meant for one as / Beautiful as you. Ah the eternal debate… / There is a fine line between / genius and insanity…they say / and how closely do we step the tight rope / With so much mental illness today / Exposed…Depression, Anxiety, / Bi-polar…Obsessive Compulsive / Disorder…A mental health professional / recently advised that 9 out of 10 have / a mental health issue. / Are so few exempt…are these figures really true? With so much stimulation in the media, mobile, data / Sensory overload with iPods linked to our brain / Texting 24/7 with our mobiles we sleep instead of our lovers / Is the cyborg fantasy becoming a reality…? / in this wired generation? / Constantly on…we must be or we miss out… / We become fed by instant gratification / and stimulated by virtual admiration. / Addiction to this constant contact means that our / heads are overloaded with stimulus but / not given as much time to reflect, to think, to feel. We are becoming overdeveloped in responding to stimulus / and underdeveloped in knowing our own heart. / Strangers and outcast to our own feelings / Dependent on the hit and the high of the new / and losing sight of the bravery of the subtle and simple. / Craving perfection and the eradication of foibles / we photoshop out our character lines and faults / so that we fit into some kind of ideal of the neo post notion of beauty. Are not faults far more defining then some sanitised notion of perfection? / Are not our faults the real indicators of our individuality? / Is not our vulnerability a sign of our sanity? / Does not our sensitivity reveal that we still belong to humanity? / Taking time to celebrate and know the individual in their idiosyncrasies / Surely this is worth the effort rather then striving for some standard of / fantasy that can never be translated? I shudder when I think were we are headed / Man machine…woman machine…cyborgs half man half machine / I pray that disposable people, relationships that end with a click / of the key and people racing to rejection will never be the accepted. / And that the human mind, heart and soul will pause…think and / move the emotional muscle so that sensitivity can still survive / and link us together through heart and mind / right through to the end of time. So Vincent, Sylvia, Frances, Angelina and Girl Interrupted / Insanity does not seem to be able to define, / What really was going on in your mind, / As far as I can tell…you all could see, think and feel, / Oh that you suffered and were misunderstood / This cannot be denied but you were / real raw and achingly human in your pain / and there was no question of your humanity / Even if there was and still is a question over your sanity. To me you were brilliant, free, sensitive and intense / And by all indicators ahead of your time. / And I bow to your courage / to follow your own voice and live the / passion that was raw in your heart… / To me it is as if you just knew right from the start. by Anthea Slade 26-4-09

Anthea – Photographer / Vanesse – Poet / Troy – Male Dancer / Vanessa – Female Dancer / Alateia – Production/Art Direction Joie de Vivre now works in collaboration with Vanesse from RebBubble beautiful poem “With You”. Please read her poem here and look at her other beautiful poems by searching Vanesse. With You I want to walk on a sandy beach / feeling the cool seabreeze / as it caresses my body / with the rays of the sunshine / warming me… I want to sit on a magnificent rock / at the peak of the highest mountain / underneath the tallest forest tree’s / with a cold crisp blanket of snow / covering everything around me… I want to dance / in the darkest desert night / under the light of the moon / and stars twilight; naked, / to the most beautiful / love songs written… But none of these would / fulfill me unless… / I shared them / WITH YOU!! By: Vanesse Cathleen

My painting Resistance & Surrender received a special PASSION feature in THE SISTERHOOD on the 16-3-09. Resistance & Surrender Longing and desire / So delicious, so ripe / Like a juicy blood red cherry / Ready to be eaten / The wetness and sweetness / So divine how can I resist? Desire so consuming / it places me on shifting sand. / I shiver. / Goosebumps tickle my chest and my mind / My heart is arrested / Overcome by the surge and / the magnet of attirance. / / I ache. / Body. Heart. Soul. / Pulled towards the subject of my affection / Craving and wanting to be as one. / / Should I resist? Should I surrender? But love just is. by Anthea Slade 6-9-08 /

Creating Heart featured in Feminine Intent 16 Nov 09 My poem Creating Heart featured in Poetry and Beautiful Women 19 April 09 Creating Heart / / In that moment when our hearts break / We can choose to remain open / Feel our pain / or shut down. / / If we remain open we are raw / We scud through a plethora of emotion: / shock black, anger red / grief grey, growth green / love pink. / The odyssey of pain. / / Often the violence of our pain / makes us want to withdraw / like a deer, to lick wounds / like a hermit to fall within ourselves. / / If we choose to close down / We divert our minds / Our wounds stay open and / then become crusty and dry / And our heart shrinks, tightens, / and the creative flow…stops. / / If we stay open - / vulnerable…fragile everything hurts. / Looks shatter. / Words annihilate to red raw. / We crumble and fragment / And we bleed. / / But we survive if we live our emotions / We wear our feelings out until / our tears a continual waterfall on our / face wash the pain away. / And we begin to heal. / / Our divine inner child walks / and than dances again / Delicate fragile and raw / our heart breathes / And our creative flow continues / Vulnerable we can create and feel. / / And we grow and we reconstruct / and put our pieces back together / Raw, exposed and alone / we draw from our heart / to create beauty / Alchemists and transformers we / recreate ourselves in a new form. / / Naked, consumed in the act of creation / engaged and enraptured / we are consumed forever in / creating line by line / brushstroke by brushstroke / colour, line and form / uninhibited and free / creating beauty, creating life / ...Creating Heart. / / Written by Anthea Slade 14-9-08 Heart Series / Drawing One / 5-4-08 / Pencil and Oil Pastel

Be Careful What You Wish For featured in THE SISTERHOOD on 23-2-09 Be Careful What You Wish For Why is it often that which / we long for is just out of reach? / Our internal conversation / How much should I reveal? / How much should I conceal? / Indeed the odyssey of mystery. / / Her beautiful face is half hidden / behind her arm / Her soft eyes closed / behind her lids / to block out the light of observation. / / Her soft pink body is framed / by the silk of her corset / textured and lined to follow her curves / Gentle and feminine and still / she beacons our eyes to see, our hearts to wonder. / / She is graceful, she has a secret / Her imagination is free / But she does not reveal the feelings / Her eyes only reveal her heat. / She smoulders without definition. / / Why does she capture our imagination so? / Is it because she is difficult / or impossible to understand and define? / Mystery exposed and mystery explained. / / Her secret so delicious / So surreal / Her mind behind her skin / is an adventure unknown. / / She reveals just enough to entice / But not enough to answer all the questions / She provokes us to think / She stimulates us to feel as / She is hidden and unexplained. / / Is she shy or is she sensual? / A muse or an artist? Or is she both? / Is her internal world her sanctuary? / A place where she truly comes alive. / Is she art painted, framed and / exhibited for all to see? / ...beautiful… / / Be careful what you wish for… / / / Written by Anthea Slade 13-9-08 / /

Wish You Were Here Drawn on 9-10-08 & 12-10-08 So, so you think you can tell / Heaven from Hell, / Blue skies from pain, / Can you tell a green field / From a cold steel rail? / A smile from a veil? / Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade / Your heros for ghosts? / Hot ashes for trees? / Hot air for a cool breeze? / Cold comfort for change? / And did you exchange / A walk on part in the war / For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here / We’re just two lost souls / Swimming in a fish bowl, / Year after year, / Running over the same old ground / What have we found? / The same old fears. / Wish you were here. Words by: Waters and Gilmour from Pink Floyd.

Chakra Goddess featured in CORE 14-7-09 Chakra Goddess was drawn on the 13-7-09 This is the third drawing in my Goddess series. Dance Dance to sweat my prayers / Dance to shed my tears / Dance to set my heart free / Dance to let me be me. Move to shift the emotion / Move to turn black to pink / Move to stop my blood boil / Move to open my heart to think. Maps made to ecstasy / Travel this odyssey of imagination / Climb step by step closer to bliss / Reaching close and closer to your kiss. Dance and I feel your lips all over me / feel my body come alive with sensuality / Lose myself inside the magic of your embrace / Music stimulates and my heart starts to race. Chakradance unblocks all my energy centres / Red: Primal, primitive and sexual / Orange: Sacral, emotive and sensual / Yellow: Power, clarity and fire / Pink/Green: Love of you…Love of me / Blue: Voice to speak my heart / Indigo: To see with my imagination and soul / Purple: To be one with the universe in spirit My heart expands…My mind explores / I move to a state of wonder and enchantment / And create a world of dreams. Five Rhythms takes me outside my stress / Flowing I move to the yin, the moon the ebb and flow / Staccato I connect to the beat of the city street / Chaos I release the wild fire in the pain the pleasure / Lyrical I dance of the siren, the playful courtesan / Stillness I meditate to silence that contains and embraces my soul. Belly dance gets me in touch with my inner goddess / with my tummy power and intuition / It enables me to know who I am / to move from deep within my feminine core / The power and passion and / confidence not to hide. Salsa to climb inside my sexuality / to touch, taste and feel the passion / to move my body to the steps / and to mirror the rhythm / And inhale the excitement of the beat. Deeper I go inside my soul / The more I enter the dance / the more that I feel whole / Fragments of colour, hue and tone / Seem to merge and create a textured art / Expand beyond my imagination / Move my body outside the limitations of mind / and into the state of trance / I feel the joie de vivre breathe in my blood / Oh my I just love to dance!!!!!!

Passion Series A Collaboration between Reynaldo and Anthea Slade / This is the 13th Artwork of the16 Painting/16 Drawing Collaboration with the brilliant and gifted artist/painter Reynaldo. It is a great pleasure and honour to collaborate with such a highly talented artist and wonderful person. Garden of Love I had a dream sublime / that danced across my mind / I saw giant flowers in a garden tower / above two lovers dancing, There was sun flower / yellow and gold / Filled with joy amplified / full of stories still untold. There was a pink rosebud / innocent and pure / Waiting for her time to blossom / under the sensuality of his touch. Another was a crimson daisy / with petals outreaching / Longing to connect / and nurture through her teaching. And there was also big purple heart / that opened and radiated life / Speaking of spiritual connection to start / then followed the mind, body & heart Then there was a beautiful red rose opening / to full bloom under the rain of passion, / the breeze of trust, the sun of love and / the moon of romantic seduction And the lovers danced through the flowers / eye to eye, / heart to heart, / soul to soul, / They saw each other and they knew… They had found that elusive thing / a lover who knew the real in them and / could dance to the same heartbeat / until the end of time. And they glowed and shone and they loved / and all who dared to look / felt warm because they knew, / finally, this dream was real. By Anthea Slade Painting: Reynaldo / Drawing: Anthea Slade / Poem: Anthea Slade Specifications of Reynaldo’s Painting 24×36’’ on 140 lb on watercolour paper

Her blue necklace and earrings / dance with her blue eyes to expose / the serenity of her heart / Her red dress energies her / to keep moving from town to town / Her brown hat attaches her to the earth. Where ever she roams / She becomes part or the time and place / Learning from experience. / Living in the present. / She becomes one with the moment. / She is Zen. A free wind that blows / through one town to the next / Where ever she goes she shows / the local people they can be free / because freedom resides in her heart She is there and then she is gone / but she leaves indelible mark / on their minds. / Her beauty and her grace / etched in gold for all who look. / and see her radiate love. It just takes a moment to see her / kindness and warmth. / Her true free spirit, / will last in their memory always. / Cause she has courage to keep flying. Free like a bird of grace / she flies to the next place, / to start the next transformation / Because she is the divine feminine, / the alchemist of our souls and for / all those who dare look / will be changed forever Forever free and wild, / overflowing with kindness / she gives all who / greet her a touch of grace, / blissful joy and a / radiant smile on their face Poem by Anthea Slade Feautured in Lifeline

Paintings: Reynaldo / Painting and Poem: Anthea The World in his Arms She is to him the most precious gift / She is the beat of his heart, / the beam of his moon, / the shine of his stars / and the ignite of his passion. He shows her that she / is the ocean to him by / the way he tenderly strokes her neck, / runs fingers through her hair / By the way his eyes look / beyond her eyes and his / ears listen to her words, / his mouth asks her questions / longing to know her heart. He demonstrates his passion for her / by the way he admires her intelligence, / holds up her ideas and never / undermines her sensitive heart / He whispers softly in her ears / urging her to blossom and not / be afraid to dance in the daylight. And she knows that he honours her / by the respect he shows by hearing her heart / And she feels his attention / by the way he notices the emotion in her face / She understands he loves her / by the way he holds her when she cries. He holds her in his arms / and she feels contained and intensely calm / She holds him to her breast / and he feels her nurture and respect / He lifts her up to the heavens / and makes her feel like a real goddess. And he knows the universe smiled on him / because not only does he have the stars / he holds the world in his arms and speaks / out loud – This is my woman! By Anthea Slade
