MENTAL PERSPECTIVE

Con*cep*tion

1. Broad understanding: a general understanding of something

2. Something conceived in mind: a result of thought, e.g. an idea, invention, or plan

3. [biology] conceiving of young: the fertilization of an egg by a sperm at the beginning of pregnancy

In the beginning of a relationship, there is or should be a conception between the minds of the individuals that connect. Ideas, plans, and understanding of where the connection will go or end; are communicated here. It is at this stage…space; that a decision is made as to what will grow from the mental seeds implanted. Will those seeds be accepted and nurtured, or will they be rejected…neglected and miscarried. The proceedings are words conceived in my mind after connecting and communicating with another. My Mental Perspective of what I saw as love, if you will.

At this Moment

Spartan By Gaétan Weltzer

At This Moment

Empty your backpack, traveler…for you are home.

Elevate your feet, for the sole has grown weary and calloused.

Lay your sword across my palms that I may wipe it clean

And cast it into its sheath; for it is no longer thirsty.

Lay down your firearm that I may encase it;

For it is not needed at this moment.

Lay down your outer armor and fabrics beneath,

Sink down into the hot waters until it crowns you;

Till the mint salts dissolve impurities seen and unseen,

And you emerge leaving all else behind.

Wrap yourself in this peace,

Then…Lie down beside me,

And place your head upon my breast,

That I may wrap my arms around you

And hum psalms that will calm the warrior within

Until it's time to battle again.

Artistry we

The Obsidian Champion II by Steve Argyle

Artistry We

Out of the ordinary…

Kabuki

Tears and Song

Death and Dance

Music expressing each emotion

Devotion.

To the distant observer,

Though dramatic;

Each scene is too important to ignore—

Too intoxicating to let go.

An unpredictable love it is

Leveled then unbalanced

Like the scales of Libra

Filled to the brim,

One sided

By Aquarian waters.

Mosaic we are…

Broken pieces placed together

In hopes of creating something—

Beautiful…

In the eye of the beholder.

Forever bonded by something

No man can dissolve

Orchestrated words

That crescendo desires

Heat filled thighs

Passion filled eyes

Formulating butterflies as

Temperature rise.

Tonality has become familiarity

So much so

A pearl vibrates to the sound of your baritone

The beat literally goes on with you…

I crave the repeat.

Just For Now

Take my hand

Just for now…

Lead me to a quiet place

Let our shared ancestry consummate

With all that surrounds us.

With nature, we will become one

With each other

We shall do the same.

Utter each other's tribal name

Let the winds carry them

To the heavens

That we may live on.

Listen…Please

I will be your earth…

(Just for now)

Roam these hills and valleys of mine

Mount my peaks

Smoke this piece

Then

Meditate atop,

As I wonder into your minds portal

For I am the breeze

That clears your head

Then revives your soul

Once you've died the little death.

Rest upon my breast…

Hear how my
