An artist finds inspiration from all around, but mostly and deepest down, in the chaotic mess of emotions. Through fragments of life’s tapestry, an artistic view emerges – and over time, it’s weaved, glued, or painted together piece by piece of existence. The whole reason for letting yourself get lost in a creative act, is for you and you only – a chaotic mess transformed into a piece of art. The “broken” finds its place and a new perspective might be formed, a burden less heavy to bear when feelings are let out in a beautiful mosaic of you.

Following is a poem by me, close by heart, which you’ll also find in my book for sale. Somewhat inspired by the famous quote by Osho regarding how if you love something, you appreciate it, for love is not about possession. If you love a flower, let it be. If you don’t, and pluck it, it’ll wither and what you once loved cease. Furthermore, my favorite author of all time since I was 13 – Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven.

Kiss me if you miss me

Love me like a wild flower.

Water me and let me grow,

and I’ll show you love.

Pluck me and I’ll wither,

and become very bitter.

I’ll lose that glitter,

as well as my twitter.

.

Love me like a free bird,

Or Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”[1]
