Super creative juices flowing these days.

Makes me want to sing and be real

and make tons of stuff..


and for some reason my appreciation for subtlety

has quadrupled.

I need to buy a new camera again.. it's getting to be that time.

I want to start making real movies, longer than music videos.

In the meantime here's a new one I made yesterday:

Love and Villains

Love:

Unmineable, inalchemic.
Only Luck and the supernature
of our deeper parts
can bring about this stuff
from its caves
And even if found
(and not the Fool's formula)
the makeup of it is so fresh
and soft it must be
carefully cultured, nurtured
and kept clean..
Until you've built it up
into a powerful Tree
with unsnappable fibers
splaying out in iron Earth
all glued and ready
to thrive in any raging furious storm
Fueled by dark places,
blossoming in pain,
an unforcable infallible solution,
tautly threading two hearts together..

Yet

a reckless Villain comes along
dancing about in flecked, burnt skin,
toying and pressing at the ground
in a constantly upheaved humour,
and finds the Tree.
Balking at the beauty of it,
he reaches jealously between the bark
and plucks until he finds a way
to pull the wood apart
and unravel the Tree from it's core.
Tearing at the precious pieces
like a malcontented gypsy
he tosses them whistfully
into the rushing river below..
your most priceless, valued gems
lost in an instant to the flood
leaving the Tree to wither
rot and blacken
crouch and break
droop and split
until its sour mulch
is nothing but
useless wretched death

(but, with roots too deep
to be discarded)

Then

in the dark
and the long pause that follows
somewhere in the dead mess
beneath a pounding storm
one sweet thing stirs.
While above
the dancing Villain celebrates
now below
a new Love hibernates;
nesting a greener Youngling
lovlier than the last
wiser, sweeter
it's golden Sap
drinking up the nutrients
left behind by the buried
decaying past.
