17 poems·Since September 2014

Love is the essence of pure thought. There is nowhere that this thought is not. I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma, just beyond the outskirts of several gypsum plateaus and miles of sand. Words have always been my primary way to sort out my experiences into streams of consciousness that act as a form of self-discovery. After acquiring a degree in English, I relocated to the Catskills in order to follow my passions. The creative journey is unfolding before me and hope to help and inspire others through poetry and art. I have worked for a few years in a creative community called "Inspire Art" (a global community created by musician Sarah Fimm as a call to dreamers, thinkers, poets, artists, musicians, scientists and anyone that wants to use their talents for artistic, collaborative projects spanning various causes) and am focusing on expanding the boundaries of all I thought was possible to accomplish. With experience as an assistant director, I have since been working on projects that incorporate visuals with audio poetry to create a multi-sensory, poetic experience. As I also have a deep passion for music, I have been filming recording artists in the studio and creating visuals for instrumental albums on top of working on the release of my own poetry album. There is much in the world we can do when we work together. Love is real ~~~ www.sparklepoetess.com

The Essence of Thought

September 11, 2014

Love is the essence of pure thought

There is nowhere that this thought is not

 

What is it that you think you see

When you gaze upon the flesh of me?

 

Let me use this poet’s tongue

To show that you live among

 

An exoskeletal, limited view

A shelter for your own milieu

 

And thus it states, “Strive, gather

Obtain or rather,

 

Life will of the weak consume

And make of you a withered tomb”

 

But here I stand

With truth in hand:

Remember?

 

Love is the essence of pure thought

There is nowhere that this thought is not

 

Quietly gaze on that within

Beyond the stars, beyond your skin

 

For there resides an endless light

To guide you through the fading night

 

And carved unto empyrean ink:

“All we are is all we think”

 

You are not here, you are not there

You are, in fact, quite everywhere

 

Limits are only of the mind

Belief in them has kept you blind

 

So the next of time

You hear the chime

 

That casts the sleep deeper

Be the brave leaper!

 

And land beneath the naked sun

There is no end to what is one

 

For here I stand

With truth in hand:

Remember?

 

Love is the essence of pure thought

There is nowhere that this thought is not
