What does your soul need?
—x-changes/so-realism
Art & affection. (Art being every form of artistic expression that touches me)
So in other words I need to be touched, body heart and soul.
I relate…deeply.
the storm has passed
or has it
perhaps it’s hiding
in the cracks and crevices
of my subconscious mind
this nothingness is dark
it’s cold here
I can’t sense you
I can’t smell you
where are you
where have you gone
are you locked inside
the storm
or are you the storm
just silently waiting
waiting to end
my light
my energy
my love
me
my once beating heart
bleeds in this stillness
dripping slowly
continuesly
drip upon drip
the thick pool of red at my feet
mother earth in her sorrow
drinks all that falls
sucking my everything
my distorted reflection
slowly sinks
disappearing
into her dirt-filled mouth

or porcelain skin
her hair is dark
her scent is different
her laugh, contagious
she loves to play
she feels at home
in strange places
she’s warm sand
beating drums
rushing blood
eyes filled with fire

This ancient city haunts
She lures you with her secretsYou prowl through her dusty and dark veins, flowing towards her beating yet broken heart
Ghosts from centuries past, enter you, casting images in your mind, with dreams…with nightmares
Hedonistic spirits possess your modern day vessel, stripping away any inhibitions
Seduced by the past
Gifted with this present
You are there…hungry and driven to devour the sacred flavors of this mysterious, “City of Ruins.”

for mama-san
nam-myoho-renge-kyo
nam-myoho-renge-kyo
over and over again
my mother would chant
in a spellbound plangent
voice, an otherworldly
voice, one that wasn’t
her own
I witnessed a mysterious
side of her, a hidden side, one
that I will never fully understand,
nor shall I ever forget
she had a shiny tall black
ebony box, with hand-carved
hinged doors, that would fold
open and expose a very
intriguing divine alter
it had two miniature hanging
lamps on each corner in the
back. there was a dark gray
stone oval bowl on the first
tier for incense ashes, a place
for candles, and a beautiful Japanese
dish for her daily offerings
she would pick the prettiest,
sweetest looking fruit, oftentimes
it was a persimmon, a tangerine,
and if she didn’t have any that
were nice enough, she would
make fresh steamed rice for
Buddha, her spiritual teacher
she would sit upon her knees on
the floor, closing her eyes, then
slowly she would enter a trance-
like state, her foreign words, the tone
in her voice, the look on her face, the
ringing of a tiny bell at precisely the
right time, all while the incense
floating ghostly through the still air
her rhythmic breaths, warmed her
sacred beads, as her praying hands
held them, caressing them, gently
kneading them, in her smooth
loving hands
nam-myoho-renge-kyo
nam-myoho-renge-kyo
these intimate ceremonies
still reverberate through my
bones, and continue to feed
my soul, yes, I too was blessed
during these sacred times
I watched her in awe, never
making a single sound,
feeling deeply honored that she
trusted me, only me, to peek
into the depths of her ancient soul

Nymph
•
Barefoot, I would run and whirl
waking the jungle’s silent sanctuary
•
laughter always laughter
while playing with tangling
vines and dancing leaves
•
my presence stirred the wild
vegetation into a temporary faze
•
they proceeded with warm love…
tickling palms and sweet offerings
•
I accepted their alluring flowers
and sucked their luscious nectar,
placing one behind my ear
•
the honey streamed slowly and
amorously down my pulsating neck…

“Inner Sanctum”
Oil on Canvas
30” X 40”—x-changes/so-realism
when i’m alone
i paint my lips red
a silent cry for you—x-changes/so-realism
(image: linda’s many muses

Do you remember?
your name…
it rips me deep
butterflies and guts
flutter and splat
against my fleshy walls
the rivers and blood flow
feelings of love and death
the smell of rose and rot
the sound of a violin’s cry
~
your name…
howled under the full moon
my breasts desiring you
my nipples begging for you
i squeeze my thighs
tightly against your ears
you cannot hear
the rawness
of my savage being
calling
your name…
