Who’s willing to try
Yes, to save a world
Yea, save our sweet world
Save a world that is destined to die

Tabs of Life

Sometimes my browser gets clouded

With different artistic tabs

Computer slows down

Begging, that I may close these tabs

Then I think

Where would these tabs be?

If the artist refused to paint

Share a piece of mind

Bash a brick of wall

For all to see

And feel the moment

When those words flowed

Without hate, only real

So I say

Thanks to the tabs of life

Letting your writing ‘flow’

optimal flow

Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (1995)

No doubt you’ve heard the expression ‘in the flow of things’ the idea of being in the zone, a place where nothing can interrupt your thinking. It all comes so naturally, so easily, as if by instinct.

But what is flow? Is it definable? According to Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi (try remembering that for an exam), flow is being in a place mentally where little else has meaning, as if able to block out external stimuli, to focus on one thing totally. Crucially, flow is intrinsically motivated and often has no tangible reward other than the performance of the activity itself. It is self-fulfilling, but that is not to say that if rewards become part of this process you will suddenly cease to enjoy the activity. There are those who disagree:

There are moments I want to write, to share, but there are those special ones so hot and intense; moments I just want kept locked away in my heart forever.
Greedy I know, but it’s a matta only meant for face to face

Far Apart, Though Sunday

The things we have stretched
The hugs we wrongly refused
Hate bound
Landed smile
Empty vessel
it ain’t right, he said
Playing the game of circles
Biting hard only to recieve water
The thirst for red
A roundabout of situations
The effects of mankind
Right on the ledge
A broken society about to break
Another demise
So far, so good
Bad for throat
Thick lump for soul
Vocal lullabies of a written cycle

Tribal Thirst (SW)

Heart to sleeves

Pact of wolves

Chilled anthems

Scattered verbatim

 

The world, word

Staining the proud, loud

Dirty road

Maybe crowded, padded

 

 

Word of the proud

Crystal hound

Believing the void that dropped

 

Selective thirst

Words, the lost stole

Origin, the ones that held

 

Seconds dropped, voices laid

Shower spending, timing Skype

 

 

The Same (SW)

Slow cut-offs

The walk alone

The shape of your smile

Glowing from the cloth of night

 

Heart teaser

It’s love like this

That makes a man fly back

To a place where your touch is absent

 

O, I thought you were gone

You said it yourself

Then

But now,

Your shelf is full of orders written in my name

 

Never change

Change is no longer needed

Cos with you

It’s the same

 

Rain or starry stars

We the same

Remaining the one we once loved

Midnight Intermission

“There” she pointed

“Further past the blue moon”

“Past the sleeping mountain of Red”

“Where death is known”

“My people claim the richness from gold and silver”

“Where are you from?” she firmly asked.

 

“I hail from the Land of Ododo”

“Where the beasts answer to my name”

“Behind the hills of the Red”

“A place where peace binds us all”

“I keep the balance of good and death”

“In my land there is beauty”

“Their eyes do not speak of death”

“A land blessed by the god of the morning”

 

“A man with a god”

“In all my time of this earth, no man has mentioned of a god such as yours”

“You speak like a man beyond this life”

 

“I am no mere man”

“My blood, my soul”

“Lady of the night, you have surely possessed me” He proclaimed

 

“So have you, strange man from Ododo”

“You have grown on me”

“As I have on you”

 

“Come with me to my land” he begged

“I offer not gold but the gift of the red moon”

 

“You talk of strange words”

“I come from a land I must return to”

“I have men many to be one with”

 

“Then why did you run away”

“What do you fear?”

 

“Ask me no more till the morning passes”

“For the back is rested and ready for grass”
