You Remind Me of the Moon

Tranqu(ill)4 Comments

You remind me of the full moon.

so close… yet far out of reach

the look of love, once had but never to be found again.

You come around every once in a while and shine… subtle, yet humble.

With a silent , demanding, hypnotic power.

the remnants of our love restricted to the longing in our eye connection.

until we look away… trying to forget the unforgettable.

I’ve decided to love you from a far.

detached myself from the possibility and accepted love without ownership.

Instead of trying to have you for myself I will let you run free and share your light with the world.

Hoping for the chance to once again be a star supporting your light.

“Why Does the Artist Often Feel Like an Outsider in Society”

Tranqu(ill)Leave a comment

Creative Images, Running Wild,

Through my mind,

All the time.

The blind thoughts sailing through my mind, explaining how my motivation is helping my nation through my innovations.

No rest,

Stressed,

My minds a mess.

Inspirations

Calculations

Motivations

Aspirations.

Thoughts that fought between the two sides of my brain,

mental strain,

unknown terrain.

Life guided by the right side which is seen as evil, a threat to society,

creativity seen as lethal

Open-minded, no restraints to be finded-

binded, within the confines of societies definitions of who I should be, look at me.

Standing outside looking in

Standing outside looking in

Standing outside looking in

Within you

Me, her, he, she, we

As a collective of art

we start, a storm of ideas with our brain, brainstorming

trying to maintain while life’s rain is pouring

We are outcasts

put my music on blast

As I walk fast, outside of my class

into a world, where I’m a young black girl

stereotypes, constantly putting up a fight with these stereotypes

Visual and performing artist expressing myself with the left side is the hardest

but that’s what they want,

uncreative controlled thought

my mind cannot be bought

My creativity is a leeway, guiding my path like a freeway, and we stay,

standing outside looking in,

standing outside looking in,

standing outside looking in.

Admiring Love From A Far.

Tranqu(ill)1 Comment

I admire love from a far because thats all i’ve ever done and all I know how to do. I love to love,

I live to love,

I love to witness love.

I love to witness love flourish and develop; the romance open its wings and fly. I love to be present during the process of love,

to aid in love,

to encourage in love,

to assist in love.

I am love, but I do not love. I do not love because I cannot love. because love is not synonymous with fear. When it comes to life I am welcoming, energetic, and full of insight. When it comes to love I am uneasy, cautious and insecure.

I want to love and be loved back. Thats all I want and all i’ve ever wanted.

But I am not easy to love,

I am dangerous to love.

none but one will ever get the chance to love me, because one is all I need. One that will give me his all without fear.

I am only human, plagued with imperfections.

Do my imperfections and perplextions sway the direction of your affection?

I hope not.
