Scarlet Letter

I love art of all forms. The types I practice are writing, charcoal/oil pastels, music, photography, and more. The pictures from my poems will also be featured in my "photos" section, so please check them out and feel free so comment on them as well. Every time I look at something I see if it would be best as a picture, drawing, poem, or song.

Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart. ~William Wordsworth

You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what's burning inside you. And we edit to let the fire show through the smoke. ~Arthur Polotnik

Writing is utter solitude, the descent into the cold abyss of oneself. ~Franz Kafka

I find no peace, and all my war is done;
I fear, and hope. I burn, and freeze like ice.
I fly above the wind, yet can I not arise.
And naught I have, and all the world I seize on.
That loseth nor locketh holdeth me in prison,
And holdeth me not, yet can I 'scape nowise;
Nor letteth me live nor die at my devise,
And yet of death it giveth me occasion.
Without eyen* I see, and without tongue I plain;
I desire to perish, and yet I ask health;
I love another, and thus I hate myself;
I feed me in sorrow, and laugh at all my pain.
Likewise displeaseth me both death and life,
And my delight is causer of this strife.

By Sir Thomas Wyatt

~A poem is the song for the soul, let me share my song with you.~
