Art

Here is a collection of chalk/paint Artwork me and my friends have done over the years. I decided to take pictures of each one of them to document them before they get destroyed...

We used to have an entire art station set up in Rin's and my apartment... We spent a lot of nights just sitting around creating art. There are many more that I will probably post later.
I'm not sure if I labeled them correctly as most of them were done years ago and I was mostly not sober... So correct me if I'm wrong.

Old poem

I was going through of my art boxes and found this poem... I don't know when I wrote it.. probably over four years ago. Thought I'd share:

_________________________________________

We all sit here, stuck and alone
behind these walls and fences that we put up
to keep things out, when we know we want them in.
All of us feeling the same thing,
but in different ways.

We're all bored, and we're all crazy.
We are trees in the wind or shrubs on the floor.
Yearning, wanting, reaching.

We pop pills to kill the pain,
then create new pain and new problems
just to solve the unsolvable.

When you're young there are no mistakes,
only research.

Dear Dad,

I have been thinking about you lots since my dream...

I know I don't even actually know you,
but I miss you.
Mom misses you to. Lots and lots and lots.
Please come visit both of us in a dream again soon.

"If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again."

If I could have a lifetime wish,
A dream that would come true,
I'd pray to God with all my heart,
for yesterday and you.

A thousand words can't bring you back,
I know because I've tried...
Neither will a million tears,
I know because I've cried.

You left behind my broken heart,
and happy memories too...
But I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

People say this hurt I feel won't last--
But I think I'll miss you just as much,
till all my years have passed.

Love you Dad.
Can't wait to meet you someday.

Dear Nature,

I miss you.

"Concrete and cars are their own prison bars..."

Truce

I am the ground zero ex-friend you ordered
Disguised as a hero to get past your borders
I know when i'm wanted i'll leave when you ask me to
Mind my own business and speak when i'm spoken to

And if we should meet through some misunderstanding
Ill be very sweet very patient and forgiving
(now get off my side of the street)

And if we should meet one another in passing
Despite these techniques there is sometimes no avoiding
(there must be some kind of mistake)

We'll raise high our white flags and say hi and shake hands
Declaring the land we're on unamerican
We'll call it even

I am the tower around which you orbited
I am not proud, i am just taking orders
I fall to the ground within moments of impact

I hit back if hit
And attack if attacked

I am an accident waiting to happen
I'm laughing like mad while you strangle the captain
My place may be taken, but make no mistake
From a little black box i can say without shame
That you've lost

Do you know what you've lost?

So take whatever you'd like
I'll strike like the States on fire
You won't sleep very tight
No hiding
No safe covers
Make your bed and now lie
Just like you always do
You can fake it for the papers
but i'm on to you....

Screams of Nature

My brain fills to the brim.

Overflowing.

Too much to consume,

yet not enough to feed the ever-growing

cravings.

Overwhelming sense of peace,

Pure. white. joy.

Vibrant, devine, beauty,

brilliance.

Pulling me into a state of unknown being.

I am nature, just nature.

Mountains, rocks, dirt, sand,

water, trees, sky, air, sun...

Life.

I feel it.

I crave it.

I am it.

Breathe In

"Breathe In"

I - read you - and god i'm good at it - i'm so spot on
Chord - shapes in air - go press that dissonance - if you dare
And you - breathing in - finesse an innocent
From her partying

And i'm high enough from all the waiting
To ride a wave on your inhaling
And i'm high enough from all the waiting
To ride a wave on your inhaling
Cause i love you no?
Can't help but love, you know...

What - part of no - don't you understand - i've told you before
To just get - off my case - this isn't happening - stop this now
And i - where was i? - i have to be somewhere
Now where did i put it?

And i'm high enough from all the waiting
To ride a wave on your inhaling
And i'm high enough from all the waiting
To ride a wave on your inhaling
Cause i love you no?
Can't help but love you, no...

Is this it - is this it - is this it?

Yes - hello we're back - and we're taking calls
Now what was the question?

And i'm high enough from all the waiting
To ride a wave on your inhaling
And i'm high enough from all the waiting
To ride a wave on your inhaling
Cause i love you no?
Can't help but love you, no...
