Passion Without a Name Leave a comment
“Trotting Around The Arena” — Computer Art by kenne
Passion Without a Name
I unfolded my fear
and watched
the unbridled horse of your love.
I wanted his mane
to shine with
hidden fireflies,
Your hands to close around my body,
untie the blind knot
of the sleeping storm.
Yet the horse did not arrive
with its shining mane
nor the touch of your hand,
nor you, my love.
And my body became
very quiet, centered
in the vestal robe
of the hurricane.

The Zen of Visual Imagery, Revisited 1 comment
First posted June 24, 2009
“Getty Reflection” — by kenne
I love all facets of making visual imagery, e.g.,
writing,
music,
cameras,
catching the moment,
editing the moment
to share my perspective of the experience —
I could go on and on. For me, visual imagery is a passion.
In recent years I have been able to spend more time with this love,
even getting into digital video and taking on a lot of digital media projects.
However, as with any endeavor, especially the ones you love,
doing it full-time can reduce the love affair to being just another relationship.
Often, creativity suffers in the relationship.
Rather than being artistic,
you become a technician,
lacking originality and flair.
Sometimes you are so focused in the routine,
your passion becomes an obsession.
The moral:
Don’t do what you love full-time.
Make sure the love is surrounded by other endeavors,
which in turn nurtures the creative juices of your art.
Only then will you begin to feel the juices ooze from your pores.
Only then will you experience real love.
Only then will you truly be alive.

Palmers Penstemon — The Thrill Hasn’t Gone 1 comment

The thrill hasn’t gone
it’s just move
to a new place —
I’ve found it,
have you?
Some know
where it’s at,
some don’t —
easy come
easy go.
I get all
the love
I need
down a
new path
where
the passion
remains —
but then,
who am I
telling you.

you can touch stars
by touching your loved ones
and learning who you are

awakening the passion
rejoicing as one

Dark Spirits, To Expel Or Not To Expel 1 comment
Dark Spirits (The Woodlands, Texas Night, 2009) — Image by kenne
Dark Spirits
Seems like only yesterday
Just last night about midnight
Drinking in the devil’s eye spirits
On a warm southern night
All alone gazing into times past
Hexed by the light in the dark
As long contorted snakes twist
From the devil’s eye in the sky
Each playing tricks on my mind
As I listen to distant rhythms
Moving to blows of the breeze
Beating to the tune of the chimes
Feeling passion in my veins
Knowing it’s not easy
To fight off these dark spirits
Binding me in uncertainty
There are no words to describe
Still, I keep trying
Turning circles, time and again
To make these feelings go away
Seeking to liberate myself
From this arduous situation,
I maintain an ember
Still feeling the heat of night
Perhaps it’s time
To put on my garb,
Yet I’m not ready for the gate
I was there, now I’m here
