Bio:
As a student of the Individualized Study Program at Buffalo State, I HAVE DEVELOPED A CURRICULUM FOR MYSELF TO HEAL THROUGH CREATIVE SELF AWARENESS. I believe and strongly support creativity as an active source for healing ourselves within society. I choose to fluidly create my own path and paint myself with each art experience. My goal as an artist of life is to share my passion for words and images with others who are open-- and ready to receive creative love and exercise their imagination.

Poems

toxic title.

The inherent conditioning
Of poison on
The energy development
Of child upon
Optimal development of a soul is solitude
Salivating the tongue
Of this childhood song.
Pray to the above
The language of dreams
And release this mind outside of time.
And in the performance of
Northeast medicine
With western dreams...

Find clarity in
Southern advances and coastal beams.

Know with tresses knotted and tied
solar energy remembered now
From Cali. to
the northern bay specific learning in shades of gray--
Of metaphysical patterns
And polar shifting
Quality gathered from an essential being.
A woman dancing the
Art to life
Its true.

Follow. Two. Learn.

What is This thread that sows it all down?
To expose this would be
a universal impress...shun.
Establish what is hidden in here
and gather into the known
And wallow in the expressions that were once condoned
Spoken art now brought global
Centered here in the midst of struggle.
Forgive me here
And we shall reap
what's near to us so we may keep
A body alive and a heart to holed
Thank you too for this intellect which unfolds
To heal and have an honest head
Gather close and express what's dear
Universal impression of 23 years.

For my Indigo

It is a treasure hunt for jewels of blue crystalline
Dark compounded matter crystallizing to reach a higher self.
Third eye point straight above. The eyes. Indigo
Pure innocence. Indigo
Plants Essence Present.
And I go forward and shoot straight to my divine feminine sex. I go
In. herbal extract
As I go. Above
For my mind it'd be enough to stay
But. Something inside seeks a cure and I go
For my indigo.
Evoked in human form by radiant light.
Waves length reaching into the flow
Now an inhabitant of light.
I with native elder go
Vast terrain taught me so
And inside I go.
Esoteric idea. Color so pure it hummms
Compounded of two independent tunes
Understood only by a small few.
Slight of discipline...
We camouflage to combat
To be the light.
Leaving behind a moments trail
As indigo as the last.
Rising clearly
I go. As indigo leads
Lifting taller with indigos fines lines just to seize them all. In I go
Yes. I say esoteric
A kind of--
in I go my mind and soul
to a faithful voice
inspiring. Instigating. Insolating
Indigo.
In I dig
So I can go
Into a spirit
Not so new...
but ready now. As indigo
Ready to compound into me.
Translate into me.
In the light
Being the light
In I go as indigo
Like nations united in blacks pale secret
To blues true knowing
And violets vivid memory
All to spice with a bit of white.
In I go
For my indigo.
