Create because…

…you can.
…you must.
…it speaks.
…it listens.
…it presents.
…it inspires.
…it lives.

A head glued in colour

 

 

 

head of glue
things stick
coloured points
blend over time
balance dried
fault breathes

Begin at the end

individual value
compromises for the whole
estimates generalized
as a means of measure
commonality speaks constraint
appreciate the path presented
modify to better suite
accept the end
as a means to live

Essence contrived

speaking ambiguity
relatively personal,
generally inclusive.
essence surges
embodied mediums.
attention directs
genuine passion.
intention creates
states of change.
present moments
talk of future.

Flourishing power

A further look into the blossoming of these beauties. Right now they are young, but maturation will develop over time.

Baseball speaks life

strike a match,
strike a pose,
strike three,
your out.
of what?
where to?
how come,
and why?
blind faith
cannot win bases.
swinging at chances
create opportunities
of scoring.
to late now
for a bunt.

Planting what cannot tend itself

whether in a group
or by myself,
i feel alone.
whose fault is that?
i’d like to blame nature,
but she is exacting.
and why is nature “she”?
it’s because creation is
nurtured from its creator.
to water a plant is easy,
tending its development taxing.

Posey neutered

woman is to rose
as man is to thorn.
no reason for
a few little pricks
to ruin what’s beautiful.

I try art because art lives

“art saves him, and through art – life.”

this was a line that i took, probably out of context, from friedrich nietzche. you must pardon me, for i’m trying to read what i don’t know, which to be honest, is everything. disregarding his initial intention, i’ve taken these words to mean something else to me.

this snippet in particular resonates with why i create, let alone think. i’ve always used some form of art to express myself. it’s a cyclical existence you see: i live to create and i create what i live. i’ve tried to realize my shortcomings as a so called “artist” – the lack of technical proficiency and misconception – although, i use these weaknesses as a strength. how can a weakness be a strength? simple. to know one’s limit is to know one’s progress.

i will admit mediocrity, even when i strive for originality. Knowing this, i still create what i can with what i’ve got because this cathartic impulse can only be satiated by myself.

regardless of its uselessness to others, i create because i live and i live for that ideal that is but a shadow of reality i experience.

Creating confusion

is there creation in
destruction or
is it just
reconstruction?
make things,
break things,
reorganize things
constants in change
as functions remain
do what is known
learn to adapt
experience a truth
not borne from words
