Sandalwood

sacred, sweet
a fleeting dream
pure heartwood
brushed my lips

center of time
Earthly beings
scent lingers on
numb fingertips

rare ritual
begin to fly
into chasms
of your deep

aromatic quality
one piece of life
the scent is
yours to keep

priceless smell
fever distilled
sandalwood lofts
into my soul

alpha-santalol
heartwood bleeds
fragrant oil
takes a toll

Watch “In Memory of Stephanie” on YouTube

•Artistic memory of Stephanie gifted to me by her family•

☆☆☆☆☆

Close to three years ago, I captured this footage of a book I handcrafted in memory of an amazing woman for a family who loved her very much and lost her much to soon. She was a good, kind creative, and very beautiful woman who loved nature and animals. She had a good heart. Making this gave me an opportunity to learn more about a woman who embodied so many wonderful things throughout her life. She truly made a difference while she was on this Earth she respected. It was an honor to gift her family with a mini archive in her memory.

Miasma

The idea for this poem was originally drafted as a placeholder within WordPress in 2018, inspired by a SciShow episode. The episode was titled “5 Things Humans Got Really Wrong About Our Bodies.” That night, I drafted the idea to write a poem when I learned about Miasma theory. This is an aged medical theory about air… or “bad air” if you will. Also known as “night air,” Miasma theorists concluded breathing it could lead to the Black Death and other diseases. Tonight… I followed through on the idea and crafted a poem.

noxious fumes
of bad air drift
pushing past
the barrier

real love
floats
false friendship
sinks
into a ghost
of what you were

miasmal dream
a ghastly sight
straight poisonous
and untold

history was made
it’s there to keep
know the night air
will be cold

noxious fumes
of bad air drift
pushing past
the barrier

real love
floats
false friendship
sinks
into a ghost
of what you were

That Awkward Moment

At work, I’m one woman amongst a team of all male directors. A few months ago, one of them sent me this meme. I thought it was hilarious and loved it. I guess that’s how he sees me. Often close to reality this seems. It’s that awkward moment! Glad some think that’s bad ass! I have this on my fridge.

born of ash

swept by fire
rightly in womb
from cradle
to the grave

spin with heat
core buring hot
with every breath
to save

she’s born of ash
strengh from flame
rising Phoenix
fly for sky

clouds to Earth
and Earth to clouds
each flight has
made her wise

swept by fire
rightly in womb
built to kill
to the crave

spin with heat
core buring up
lit with every
breath to save

Iced Memz

I’ll take it stiff
just on the rocks
frozen solid
still on ice

pour me a glass
of shivery dreams
in a steam swept
artic paradise

frost-bound love
glacier of souls
drifting quickly
off to sea

iced memories bleed
droplets of snow
in the complexity
of we

puzzling

fit just right
to break apart
tongues tied
with sultry
breath

fit my body
fit my mind
prefectly
right fast to
the death

touch each
piece not in
waking dreams
but right here
tainted flesh

fitting in
and
fitting out
just lovely
to enmesh

each curve
so sleek
contour unique
a mold around
your lips

marking our
lines a
puzzling map
down to aching
weighted hips

comb your mind

tidying up
the fantasy
his hands
know well
her hips

he combs
his mind slow
step by step
as her sweetest
honey drips

smoothing out
the fantasy
his mouth
has savored
flesh

he combs
his mind slow
inch by inch
as this scene
he will refresh

untangle oceans

the strand
salted and
tangled up
floats lightly
on their sea

his lips
they trace her
mermaid spine
on the waves
of he and she

magical
riptide of souls
his fingers
probing her
for cures

moments
she keeps
so sparkly blue
intricate
his lures

there’s nothing
more and nothing
less than his
need to touch
her skin

untangle oceans
swimming deep
to see
just where
they spin

Crux

…..
breathe slow
each breath
take in
the crux
with
captivating
need

aiming for
cores
pull fast
hard bow
and gift
seductive
seed

breathe slow
each breath
just taste
the crux
to satiate
your need

Let there be light and muscle!!!!

Spec my latest creative project. This involved the rerender of an original painting in Mandrill’s Gym, which was created by a former Disney artist. My digital composite was designed based that.

This was a first for me, but maybe not a last. It was fun, I learned a lot about making a sign that can bleed light, and it looks way cool. The machine now matches the huge acrylic painting in the gym. Let there be light and muscle!!!!

Ode to Sky♡

Let your hues
fall over me and
saturate my skin

Sipping the stars
before sunrise,
must surely be
a sin

Let your light
take all my breath
and silence
everything

Tasting your rain,
in deep twilight,
to make the
moonlight sing

Oh my Sky…
you move me so,
offer mysteries
and love

Send off my soul,
like heavenly,
straight to the
clouds above

Devour

taking breath
consuming flesh
eater of
beating things

darkend beast
be ravaged by
needless scent
of intoxicating
dreams

ever still
devour me
whole
wrapped in
sweet memory

your lips
do kill
like venomous
webbed in
sexy threads
of we

Craziness

•◇•♡•◇•

crazy how
these reasons run
like fingers
through green hair

purple lush
drink every drop
and touch just
so right there

5.1.5.0 those
numbers be
painted right
across your lips

it’s craziness
to reach for the
sane, then end
up on my hips

purple lush
slurp every sip
and touch just
so right there

crazy how some
reasoning runs
like fingers
through green hair
