Creative Lab – Where My Pictures Come to Life
To The Queen Card
Every piece bows in time
It’s when they know how many deaths she’s died
to rise, to rule, the grand design.
The Queen card, laced in Grace..
a walking empath, a mother, a lover by fate
Tell me, which Queen do you wish to serve?
For in that, you step closer
To a fate you’ll find deserved
What’s so good about morning?
That’s what I want to know
My life so young and yet full of morning
That’s not my legacy, one I’ll adjacently forgo
Instead, all I want comes in
My arms all widened, my eyes glow
So please don’t tell me good morning
You can miss me with that load
When “Let Me Go”
Is “I want you to stay”
“For the love of God, set yourself free.”
Pushing away, yet needing so much,
Sacrificing all for idealism you clutch.
Stupidity you thought you never caught
Now weighs you down, like tangled knots
Do yourself a favor: live,
Breathe deep,
take what life can give.
Eat, pray, love and repeat
for God’s sake, please,
Unshackle yee soul and findeth thy peace.
I’ve loved my dreams
What I’ve achieved
So high off the show
But the love for me, what’s there to show?
How did I love all more than my soul?
Chasing desires, a life to console..
And so now I seek a quieter grace,
To love myself in a boundless space.
If you ever learned
how it feels to be dead and still walking
To drift through days as a ghost,
Cause no once knocking
Wearing a heart that no longer beats nimbly,
Cause no one’s coming
Its rhythm lost to a symphony of sorrow,
Like your black coffee
But somewhere, deep in this muted core,
A seed remains, stubborn and small,
Whispering hope to the void in your lungs
That even dead things can still rise
and bloom once more.
I pledge allegiance to the self,
To cast away the chains of fear,
To strive each day, to make clear
The light within is boundless wealth.
From deep, dark wells, a glow ascends,
Trials they shaped, storms they befell.
Not a day goes by to dwell
Then why is left right, and right left,
A dance of opposites, a cosmic jest?
Why is yin yang, and yang yin,
A circle eternal, where all begins?
Why is black white, and white black,
Shadows and light on the same track?
They search for me in places begotten,
Paths long traveled, yet truths forgotten.
Where do you go when you seek the truth?
Beyond the mirror, beyond your youth?
I get it, drop your armor,
love will follow,
I thought I did
..
But today, I found a truth so deep,
I built these walls, while I was asleep.
It’s not just walls, but pride I wear,
A fortress forged in silent despair.
It’s not just pride, but ego, I fear
A mask I hid behind here.
It’s not just ego, but shame I hold,
In shadows quiet, in stories I never spoke.
It’s not just shame, but abandonment’s cold,
A hollow echo of goodbyes, feeling sold.
But It’s not just that, it’s the unknown,
A place I wandered, all alone.
But so you say love is always near?
Waiting for the walls to disappear?
Your left hand, your masterpiece,
Right brain’s hemisphere it reads
Keep it close, yee bold creatives
The truest art defies directives.
An act of rebel is within your midst
It’s at your left you are most right
Keep it close, all yee bold creatives.
This hollow numbness fills the air,
A penetrating scream, too much to bear.
The world hums out for love’s light
All I can do is craft mine
I hear love rise when we all try…
