NEW POETIC LYRICS BY CAITLIN JEMISON full poem located in POETRY

I Ride the Dark Horse:

My soul lies in the woods at night

I go to it to breathe

You could not see it in the light

The richer side of me, because

I ride the dark horse,

fingers in a course mane

If I get off I'll waste away

I'll waste away

Singing nonsense, lights appear

In yellow, white and green.

Flicker, flutter and come near

An audience of queens

Little fools, angels

Little fools, angels

Little fools, angels!

NEW POETIC WORK: Patrícia Magalhães

When words fail, screams prevail.

As such, that Being spoke in tongues

and tones

and such

in the hour of shattered hues and colorblinds

that Being, colorful, shouted stories once told in and around fire.

That Being said of crackles of and among stars

of female dragons swallowing flames, spitting womb bloody water

of certitudes shaken, breakin'.

It spoke of a time of yes and a time of maybe, and a time when Time was not.

It then resumed, and silenced.

In and around fire, stories have been told and burnt.

In hours of shattered beings, colorful or colorless, we've chanted -- in and about fire

we've held hands, cursed and plagued

we've calmed down -- all in spite of fire

we've searched words, spoke nonsense

reached further, found new hearts, new ears, new tongues, new tones

and still played the same song... so did Fire.

One day Fire rose and played those same tricks

already played in other crossroads:

it painted one side red, and the other darkness

and went about his way, tricking and treating.

Tricking and treating Fire goes on, and on, and on: one side, red.

The other, darkness.

NEW POETIC WORK: JONATHAN FINLAYSON

I felt like telling the truth, and

the spaces between the lines said I could

but the cries of terror

in broken sighs said otherwise

I'm left to wanting more,

More the a man alone needs,

Needing less than thine fellow man,

Man that need less than what I have

Your Auburn hair can sail heavy with the wind

And which shown west shall fade

At the banks of the lower delta I wait

Missing the palm tree shade

......................................................................................

NEW POETIC WORK: RIFF RUDE

Poverty's Inheritance

No wings needed to fly

Blind with the wind like the alchemist

Understood space and time

Before I ever heard a lesson

Question

Who got it?

There's a necessary need for relief

No Malcolms

No Martins

Definitely no Nat Turners

Just an intuition to start buildin'

But

No bricks

Given or handed out

Government cheese ain't what it used to be

Killed my grandma before she seen 71

Interesting

Cause god didn't use the knowledge till she passed

Never knew an angel

But

Now I do

The guidance was there

But

Misconstrued

"Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them, because they change things, they push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." - Steve Jobs

“The basis of artistic creation is not what is, but what might be; not the real, but the possible. Artists create according to the same principles as nature, but they apply them to individual entities, while nature, to use a Goethean expression, thinks nothing of individual things. She is always building and destroying, because she wants to achieve perfection, not in the individual thing, but in the whole.” -Rudolf Steiner

"Often a man gets into a situation where there's just one thing to do. There is no alternative. He wants to run, but there is no place to run to. So he goes ahead on the only course that's open and people call it courage." -John D. Rockefeller Jr.

QUOTES:

"When man has reached the place where he has faith in God, in nature and himself, he knows the Word of power; his word is balm for every wound, is cure for all the ills of life.

The healer is the man who can inspire faith. The tongue may speak to human ears, but souls are reached by souls that speak to souls." -Levi

"For the discovery of truth there is no path...When you want to find something new, when you are experimenting with anything, your mind has to be very quiet, has it not? If your mind is crowded, filled with facts, knowledge, they act as an impediment to the new; the difficulty for most of us is that the mind has become so important, so predominantly signigicant, that it interferes constantly with anything that may be new, with anything that may exist simultaneously with the known. Thus knowledge and learning are impediments for those who would seek, for those who would try to understand that which is timeless." -Krishnamurti (The Book of Life)

"The one important thing I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one's work seriously and taking one's self seriously. The first is imperative and the second is disasterous."

-Margot Fonteyn-

"The hardest thing to teach is stillness."

-Arthur Mitchell-

"Some people are your relatives but others are your ancestors, and you choose the ones you want to have as ancestors. You create yourself out of those values."

-Ralph Ellison-

"When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking. "

-James Baldwin-

"My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way...The great thing is to last and get your work done and see and hear and learn and understand; and write when there is something that you know; and not before; and not too damned much after... The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself...The shortest answer is doing the thing."

-Ernest Hemingway-

"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is like the difference between lightening and the lightening bug."

-Mark Twain-
