A jungle mind
With lots of vines
Ropes that swing
and a bird that twittles a tune
~
Art is my soul on a paper
a page that you can flip to anytime
Others can see small snippets
but it's always in my mind
~
Endless steams of water
flow through valleys deep
I dream in color
pouring onto sheets
~
A jungle mind
With lots of vines
Ropes that swing
and a bird that twittles a tune
~
I draw upon a canvas
nothing that makes sense
my brush strokes in it's own way
I play along with it's game
~
I swing from one end
to reach the other side
I sit upon the cliffs edge
ready to
dive down
to the
unknown
creating without thinking
direction is what speaks
to me
in the wind
I don't make sharp plans
I let it carry me
like a tornado
or some
thing
new
to see what's in my mind
a visual representation
of my soul
~
Can I see
how deep I go?
Do my mountains have peaks
or do they plateau?
~
A jungle mind
With lots of vines
Ropes that swing
and a bird that twittles a tune

Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.

Wow just read this and your art as well is simply amazing, with so many different colours of textures showing different aspects of emotions is what I take, I was like wow the texture and how you were about to really do this art and write to me is outstanding with a lot of soul meaning may I add. Thank you for sharing. 💜
Oh my GAAAHH! There are so many things I want to say about your artwork; if I said them all, this comment would end up somewhere I have never visited, perhaps on the other side of the earth! I truly love the colors. I can see so many things, but my eyes were drawn to the right side first. There is such a clear rhythm in this piece. The range in your cadence boosts certain lines and vibrates the verse through my body.
And she paints?! 🤩
Seems like an exciting adventure there in your mind. Loved your poem!
Aw, love this, lass. Suits what I know of you so well. Awesome stuff. Love the refrain and the way you kept expanding on the theme.
