A hook in one hand
Yarn in the other
Weaving in and out
Of each other
Creating something that
Resembles a fabric like substance
That cannot be duplicated
By any machine
With a plethora of patters
And endless possibilities
United the power of creation
Is limitless

At a loss for inspiration
Creativity crippled
Drained of motivation
Passion paralyzed
Spiraling depression the only thing thriving.
Still and quiet, the only thing she has the energy to move is pen to paper as she awakens muscles she didn’t realise she forgot she had. She drowned herself unknowingly.
A viewing into where I was and the energy that pushed me to write. Just starting university all my time was split between work and friends, I had no time for my arts and so I felt unfufilled.
The nights are mine
Nothing can change that
Peace, quiet and serenity
I’m alive, I can breathe
I can see clearly because
the darkness comes and the light fades.

The nights are mine,
And I never feel better
While you sleep, I live to the fullest
I smile, I laugh, I create, I learn
After a long day, I can finally relax.
Not be judged. Just be. Be me.

The nights are mine
Nobody owns me,
I’m by myself,
Running my own show,
Just letting my creativity flow,
And my intellect grow.

Creative thoughts trickle
into writers
consciousness in day.

Expanded thoughts
connecting self in moment
to feel gentle breeze,
hear sounds of birds,
see puffy clouds.

Expanded notions surface
to relive a memory,
face pain,
and launch a vision.

Creative muses travel with grace
through mind to heart
where they churn and develop.

With breath as catalyst
they travel again
through lungs to hands
hands to pen.

Finally landing on page as pit stop
only to travel again
from page to readers eyes.

And thus the cycle continues
eyes to breath,
breath to lungs
lungs to heart
heart to mind
mind to hand
and hand to tap a sun.
Playing with the thought of a creative thought and its journey.

Write what you know
Paint what you see
Yourself is much more int’resting
Than whoever you pretend to be

Sing what you hear
Move how you must
Look not to other’s favour
In yourself you may trust

Create and inspire
Astound and amuse
Yourself is an instrument
Go ahead - play what you choose!
In celebration of individuality and personal perspective.

I try to flow fast and loose
But my words fall flat and obtuse
Because trying is the opposite of flying
And flowing is the art of simply going
A lack of effort is the only way
To truly express what you want to say
To tap into inspiration
To channel divination
To experience true creation

You can try regularity
Love, hate, hilarity
Equality or disparity
Fortitude or fragility
But I know the final mystery
Will no doubt be creativity

Where do these words come from
And where do they go
It may sound dumb to some
But **** I want to know

Every perfect rhyme and clever line
That sweet melody that sounds divine
And every drop of cosmic knowledge
Written by a poet locked inside a cottage
Left alone with a troubled mind and no clear plan
Tapping into something we may never understand

i am not a curated list of
the top songs,
the best songs,
critically-acclaimed songs,
picked with so much care
too much care
the others cease to matter
i am the songs
known and niched
borne out of an artist's dream
i exist so they could dance
in the kitchen at 3 am
i might not expand the world
in which i live
but i will persist
in careless dancers
dancers like me
the dancers after us
to my boy scouts, to 7 more years. kamsahamnida.

O here comes cupid with his glittering golden wings,
Under her command to strike down all the powerful kings,
not with hatred but with Love,
She has everybody hypnotized by her beauty,
She is a Queen... her eyes are made of Jewellery,
Her presence the closest to heavens,
and Her voice to ears sounds like oxygen,
she's Venus De Milo,
QUEEN
She's an earthly angel,

She's fantastic,
she's the opposite of cataclysmic,
An uprising cosmic,
perilous hypnotic,
QUEEN
she's nothing more but Majestic.
