Artists Who Stare

Image
  Artists who Stare into their Creative Self Vignette There is a reckoning in the soul of every artist. It begins as a tremor, a flicker of light, almost imperceptible, yet relentless in hunger. That precise moment when the artist is alone, silhouetted against the radiance of an internal inferno and stares unflinchingly into their creative self. They dwell in the space between inspiration and doubt, bathed in the glow of possibilities and tormented by the fear of mediocrity. To exceed the ordinary, the artist knows, is both a blessing and a curse. Each touch, each word, each act of creation becomes a paradox: an offering to eternity but rooted in the fleeting frailty of the present. What if they fail? What if the light within, so achingly bright, burns them to ash rather than illuminating their path? The act of creation is no longer a choice; it has become a necessity. There is no turning back. Like a lone figure before the furnace of their own making, the artist surrenders to the ...

Celeste Dysfunctional Seen

Disequilibrium take a step forward Vertigo gained whilst knowing what should not be In the peripheral dysfunction, it appears Front and center Systems desperately seeking balance Self-realization of self-deceit Different meanings are cherry picked Seeking the common cause of good intentions The sensation of gaining goodness through other's misery The marching benefactor, exempt and in glorious splendor Culturally significant within the moral flame in hand The entitlement to give A wonderous perception of movement through contribution Gorging on the flesh of spatial disorientation Of those too helpless Of those who need sympathy Of those who are victims In the theater of the privileged Where the voyeur has a special right and an advantage Protected from any possibility of one, as the contributor to the problem In godliness as the external solution The key to the store The righteous observer Who return with stories of deficit...

Celeste Dysfunction

When finally the dysfunction is realized I can relax I knew it wasn't me even though I thought it was me Such relief It could not have been me I would not have done that In childhood and in adulthood that could not have been me Astonished I gasped at all aspect that identikit me No matter what your accusations be it was not me So without hesitation, I sought mutual agreement A third point In order to displace self-accusation To the wave on the horizon Away from the imposter me Far away and off-shore and outsourced Separation The appearance The identity The division of function I am not to blame for the character you saw of me Your perceptions Your analysis Your transference I may dominate your emotional recognition I may feel in the scope of the known I look at you knowing that you think I am you But what you are is not me

Celeste 0003 Glimpse

A suppressed memory shared over the millennium Passed through loss of tolerance and willingness to flight An adventurous echo messengers this morning No chance to avoid death and kill Take a glimpse to make sense of this heritage Once a day An occurrence prior each assault, time to assault The idea - The must do - The must endure Fires line the tips of each wave Walls in motion smashed through by machine Encompassing regulation in-thawt and in-limitation Stealth in hand Isolated Forward and onward Marching towards the glare of duty The idea - The must do - The must endure Find yourself as the light returns Catch your idea as it emerges and before it fades away Your persona is in action Empty and lonely and perversely resentful Over and over again Never to be realized Again and again hidden away Evidence of the irresolvable self Hiding like a small carnivorous animal The idea - The must do - The must endure ...
