Crown of Golden BrownIt was a cupped and caked coincidence
how she could captivate a heated room with her overflow;
her crisp lips' brimming capacity.
The last words to cross them,
a batter of over-whipped thoughts
that would tastelessly toughen if ever exposed to air -

but she'd spill ill measurements anyway
into silver hollows
sprayed with protection and flavor.

A greased burn,
floating in flute juice,
was the crumb in pink underpants.

Woulda Loved Him if She CouldaWe didn't think and
couldn't see
nor had we really wanted to
So off we ran in the same direction
and laughed til we tripped over glue

We'd come in peace
We'd come in haste
We'd come in vain
And ignored the waste

The right away man for right about now
And right to the point ripe passions
Celestial sleep and blessed resurrection
Already unremarkable, came in rations

We came that way
We came to say
We came to leave
Before that day

So far he slid
Even harder, I fell
The mud was whipped and buried me
He ate the fee while I ate dust
The pricey odds of conventry

We went that long
At least passed dawn
We've since shook hands

Jo.Na.I can smell brimstone on you and it coats my tongue.
You are smooth and hang heavy in the air.
My lungs open slow and wide to let in your exhaust.
Veins swell to be a part of what‘s new.
I am high in your presence.
I lay limp and waiting.
I wince with imagination.
The heat melts my weathered skin and I am pink again.

Discovered By the WiindowI am happy and well.
I am also in pain, burning to death by flames of passion
covered in filth and absorbing destruction the right way for a change.
I have become immortal through becoming undone.
I have found some things I have been looking for since I can remember.
I lack nothing but words for the magic that's happened in the last few days.
I am sick with love and discovery.
I am bleeding in the name of preservation -
proudly dropping to my knees to be free.
I am seeing my reflection beyond broken glass and rain water
I am a genderless brother of a genderless sister.
I found myself by looking forward & up
and in no other direc

Partners in GrimeBelow the foundations way down,
the smell of wet industrial earth
floats us away with it.
Metals and minerals that suppliment our blood
harden every vein, tighten every tissue.

And little injuries gotten from the surface
heal ...

over night
upon roof tops
along the horizon
and deep under water.

In the trees high and whole
we can see the other side of things
rooting us to earth.
In one piece with three times the gravity
Every moon burn and sun-return, a victory.

And little injuries gotten from the surface
heal...

over sand wishes
under fences
from off the bridge
quietly away in the dark.

There is a ManThere’s a man who used to, and still does, feel all of his feelings all of the time. He thinks too much, analyzes too long, sleeps too little, and goes unconscious at all the wrong intervals. He has more friends than enemies. He has no friends. He has escapes I envy but would never try. He admits the worst but hides the silliest of sins.
There’s a man out there who would sooner shoot himself than shoot his attacker. Hand over his masculinity to the first female competent enough to carry and keep it, then demand it back as if it had been stolen. He’s a most dangerous slayer on the fly, yet sits more often doing nothing, preven

I don't know why I like this shot, babe.
Is it the contrast? Is it because of the cup's size difference? Sepia tones? Or the wonder, on what they are looking that?

*TheMadMulatto Apr 3, 2011

Lots there I didn't realize.

~Flames-on-a-Page Mar 22, 2011 Student Writer

LOL at the massive mug. See, I'm seeing this as a statement about how men get more rights than women, which is being enforced by the sepia tone. The woman giving the audience the bird, as my slang says, reminds us that it is in modern times, and presents us with the idea that the male dominance ideal is still in the picture, whereas the male, being black, shows that we DO have racial equality, but only as the gender culture allows.

Heh, how did I do for my bullshittery? I like it that the rule of thirds is applicable here, whether you did it intentionally or not. It's very well placed, and set up.

*TheMadMulatto Mar 22, 2011

Not familiar with the rule of thirds... never went to school.

Well, I knew what you've said here would be something a lot of people
could interpret as being a reasonable conclusion to a myriad of messages.
To be honest, I'm glad and most honored you would commit your thoughts
to this work and I'm glad someone said all that you've mention.

More honesty is...
I meant nothing.
I was setting up a photo I felt was cool to maybe just look at.
Like a set of cupcakes on a napkin, or two cars on the street.

Hee! I wasn't really after anything particular, outside of aesthetics.
Meanwhile, I'm flattered you'd take my work so seriously.
You've taught me to see beyond my own vision.

But please tell me about the Rule of Thirds.

~Flames-on-a-Page Mar 26, 2011 Student Writer

The rule of thirds is a photographic and film technique. Basically you seperate the shot into thirds horizontally and vertically. When you do this, the intersection points are called "hot spots" and because of a very scientific reason which I can't really be bothered going into, aesthetically, things that are in these 4 positions are more likely to generate an effect on the viewer.
So what this means is that if you place something in a hot spot artistically, you can get a GREAT effect. I have a great photo in my gallery, and I'm pretty sure I used the rule of thirds there... I don't remember if I did or not, but I think I did.
Simply put, it makes things look goooood.

Haha, I was bullshitting about the meaning behind it, although for each person, having a different insight, or interpretation is always good. That is what I picked up in it, and I hope you enjoyed reading me bang on about what is essentially nothing.

*TheMadMulatto Mar 26, 2011

Tell you what...
I value these kinds of comments, interpretations and bullshitting
like you wouldn't believe.

Know how much they carry over to the next piece I do.
I never forget these things,
and I'm not sure I'd be even this progressed without the influence.

I value every word of it.

Thanks for the explanation.
Now I guess I knew all that innately.
Then again, no... most of my work is "off"
and been told that a million times.

Maybe it ALL works, at the end of any day depending
who we all are by then.

~Flames-on-a-Page Mar 27, 2011 Student Writer

Well I'm glad I'm having an effect. As for your work being "off", avant garde art is often the best. After all, would the Expressionist art movement have succeeded if they were worried that, in comparison to the Impressionists, they were a little off? Heh, a bit of art and film movement lingo for you.

Art is bullshit, it is everything and nothing, and therefore, there is no such thing as correct or incorrect, just the artists opinion. That's why it does ALL work.

*TheMadMulatto Mar 27, 2011

Well, everything works... until you talk to a Marketing Master.
I used to do it, and for too many years.
Got caught up in the "impact" of things.
Placement? I was a rebel and forced myself to find a...
rule of thirds or whatever and not quite do it.

The blah-blah of
what made a food ad more delicious looking,
or made any sports car more the center of attention
then the lovely lady laying on it.

Colors and fonts that remind us of health, money, freedom, romance...
all that crap.

Expressionists vs. Impressionists
I'd lose big money betting on what was what.
