Contemporary Artist
ENVY—punctured wide open, icy shards slash at reason, I am overwhelmed REGRET— pulled and stretched within, a cold blanket of sorrow, covers me in shame. NAVIGATE—my steps hesitate, I move forward regardless, walking a fine line. GRIEVE—layers of time shift, I am anchored to the ground, static in despair.

HOPE—lightweight as paper, I float through reality, a new dawn awakes. SURPRISE—three wishes granted, in a forest of delight, fuelled by desire. COMPASSION—anguish and distress, enclosed by layers of gray, a hand extended.  LUST—combustible joy, without consideration, of consequences.

REJECTED—howling with anguish, blows an invisible wind, linking the shadows. CALM—bird song on the wind, soft light brakes open the day, problems disappear. TRUST—perching on the edge, eyes closed I proceed forward, life is a free fall. NERVOUS—skin incased with pins, life’s unseen edges collide, smashed out of control.

HELPLESS—caught in a vortex, far beyond my horizons, I am powerless. OPTIMISTIC—laced with confidence, renewed possibilities, lift the dark shadows. DISGRACED—words fall upon me, carpeted with opinions, I become hidden. THRILLED—fissures gouge the ground, the excess of joy exposed, I am lifted up.

ARDENT—bright light surrounds me, everything is possible, silhouettes of life. STARTLED—the air cracks open, tumbling through the layers, I have no purchase. SECURE—solid on the ground, sheltered, safe and protected, I move step by step. VIBRANT—reverberating, echoing a change world, laced with energy.

BAFFLED—floating off the grid, bewildered by etiquette, always out of sync. AWKWARD—too large for the space, always pushing at the seams, constrained and enclosed WORTHLESS—forever constrained, the burden of history, is the air I breath. DELIGHTED—effervescent life, tumbles along the roadway, potholes of sparkle.

LOST—concealed under cover, my world forever private, a forgotten space. EXPOSED—peeled and sliced opened, the wind of change lifts me up, remade and transformed ELATED—my own desires, suspended reality, fanciful impulse. CURIOUS—dancing through the dark, abstract starlight above me, a sky of wishes.

NEGLECTED—decisions removed, ensnared by reality, I will disappear.NEGLECTED—decisions removed, ensnared by reality, I will disappear. HUMILIATED—bound and wrapped in fear, I have become the problem, new ideas are boxed. POSH PRECIOUS
