This does NOT need a NSFW filter, so whoever it is that deemed it necessary, you SO need to get out more!! It’s shoulders and legs showing only!! who ? Who Will Save Your Soul People living their lives for you on TV / They say they’re better than you and you agree / He says “Hold my calls from behind those cold brick walls” / Says “Come here boys, there ain’t nothing for free” / Another doctor’s bill, a lawyer’s bill / Another cute cheap thrill / You know you love him if you put in your will Who will save your soul when it comes to the flower / Who will save your soul after all the lies that you told, boy / Who will save your soul if you won’t save your own? We try to hustle them, try to bustle them, try to cuss them / The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue / Another day, another dollar, another war, another tower / Went up where the homeless had their homes / So we pray to as many different God’s as there are flowers / But we call religion our friend / We’re so worried about saving our souls / Afraid that God will take His toll / That we forget to begin Who will save your soul when it comes to the flower / Who will save your soul after all the lies that you told, boy / Who will save your soul if you won’t save your own? Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking their kill / You got social security, but that don’t pay your bills / There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay / So you bargain with the Devil, say you’re OK for today, / You say that you love them, take their money and run / Say it’s been swell, sweetheart, but it was just one of those things / Those flings, those strings you’ve got to cut, / So get out on the streets, girls, and bust you butts. Who will save you soul when it comes to the flower / Who will save you soul after all the lies that you told, boy / Who will save your soul if you won’t save your own? Jewel
My Website Thomas wrote a lovely poem for this image I created. Please go check out his work. / Thank you so much Tom !! :) Tracks of Life At times the tracks of our lives lead us on a path through the darkest reaches of our minds. / The mist covers the memories of moments we need to pass, let go of, move on from. / Our fears scream from the darkness, clawing at our souls, grabbing at our hearts. / If we pause we are lost. / The journey takes us through the darkness into a light filled with hope. / Rays of security fill us with warmth and / the strength to drive forward into a world bright with love Thomas Simunsen

STALKING TIGER Slowly through the grass / The tiger stalked his prey / His movement long and languid / In the middle of the day / The sun was high and bright / As a vivid burning orb / His body moving slowly / Less heat there to absorb / Gazelles were moving fitfully / Around the waterhole / Nervous eyes were flitting wildly / As the world they did behold / A movement in the distance / And the animals did jump / The nerve ends all a jangling / Each one with quivering rump / Then like avenging angels / The tiger now does pounce / Gazelles are scattering wildly / With a death like spinning dance / And one of them is slower / No longer held at bay / The tiger now triumphant / As it finishes its prey Phil Sanders (aka Brummieboy) / 5/4/07 Thanks for the wonderful poem Phil!
this is a commission I received from someone who wanted a Stonehenge picture without anyone in it… / here’s the result. Hope it’s alright… / So everyone is aware – this is a photomanipulation – not an actual photo that I took…. / I manipulated sky, grass, clouds, colors…. :) to give it a fantasy feel… Peace, Claudia

the sounds of life / sing a song / to bring me near… / in quiet nature / as we / feel the sea / touch the wind / hear the sound / of beating hearts / and laughter… / while singing songs / to dance.
For all beloved sisters
there is a young girl in my life…thru her eyes i see so many answers to yesterdays questions…and i listen to her now… as she talks. this is for teresa…..
Do you want to take / And keep a piece of me? / Continue playing the fake / And believing foolishly… / It’s not my destiny you make / Won’t be me that will break / All others you will forsake / I’m aware and I’m awake / You goddamn stupid Fuck! / A piece of me you won’t TAKE! /

Reynaldo’s beautiful paintings Diamond Core were inspired by my poem Diamond Core. Thank you Rey for your beautiful interpretation and vision of my words. Your paintings are magnificent and deeply moving. Paintings by Reynaldo / Poem by Anthea 2009 Acrylic on 140 lb. Watercolour paper 18×24” Diamond Core / A Tribute to the human spirit Don’t you try to unsettle me / I can see through to the other side / Don’t try to demean and cancel me out / I will rise again like the Phoenix Don’t you try to put me to disgrace / and line my face with cruelty / because I will duck and weave / the arrows of war Don’t you try to invalidate me / because my colour will grow even more brilliant / Don’t you try to rip my voice out of my box / because my voice will scream louder Don’t you try to eradicate me / because I will never be erased / Don’t try to destroy my spirit / because my spirit is made of the strongest fibre Don’t try to exploit me / because my intelligence is emotional and intellectual / Don’t pressure me into the stultifcation of dutybound / because I am a free spirit and must fly with wings outstretched. Don’t try to blacken my heart with pain / because it is and always will be red with passion / Don’t tell me to be selfless because / if there is no self there can be no other Don’t tell me to remove my esteem with / no self respect there can be no bliss / Don’t tell me there is only one way to see and that is black and white / because I will show you a multitude of colours Don’t try and disengage me from my inner voice / because my voice will never be silenced. / Don’t trap me into negative thinking patterns / because I will never be brainwashed Don’t think that by removing love from me / that I will whither and die because / my heart can beat in / a raw dark place. Don’t use guilt to haunt me into a limited life / because I have always sucked the marrow out of it. / Don’t tell me that my soul has no value / because my soul dances to its own beat Don’t try to break me, annihilate me / because my CORE is diamond / and it sparkles and cannot be broken / and will cut through and shatter / all your glass houses into a trillion tiny pieces / and will shine on until my last breath.

this picture says alot to me.. i’ve lost alot of people in my life… and anybody who has lost someone knows how it feels…. / even though it feels like things wont get better, they eventually do. / i call this photo “in loving memory” because the single rose reminds me of the people who have left this earth, with such grace and beauty. if you care to share a story of a loved one you’ve lost, feel free. You don’t have to.. but if you’d like to, i don’t mind.

Heartwood is the dead wood at the center of a trunk or branch of a tree. Although it no longer sustains the tree’s life by conducting water, it does supply support. / I find wonderful symbolism in the definition of a tree and what characterizes “heart”as giving strength and support. A peak inside the heart of this old tree shows an interesting curl. Almost as if it is embracing itself.
Oil Pastel and Acrylic On Paper Concept: This is one of the many in Ophelia’s Love Encounters Series, it’s her experience of many facets of this wonderful thing called LOVE.. This is what she has to say about love today : ” Love makes you feel larger than life, gives you the courage to conquer all odds at hand.” This is a full size version with its night sky, I love the cropped one as well as it emphasises on the “large-ness”. Love in many of my quotes and paintings is open to personal interpretations, doesn’t necessarily mean love in the romantic sense. You can view and buy my other “Love Makes You Feel Larger Than Life” creations at my Zazzle Gallery:
