As I gaze at that ole guitar of mine, I'm reminded of the creative spark that drove me to buy it in the first place. I knew that deep within me lay a wellspring of artistic expression, waiting to be tapped. Now, as a poet, I've come to realize that this instrument holds even greater significance. It's as if the guitar has become an extension of my mind, a tool to harmonize my thoughts and emotions.

A newfound desire stirs within me - to learn to play this guitar and craft lyrics that flow from the heart. I envision myself strumming its strings, pouring my soul into melodies that resonate with the world. And in that moment, I'll sing a song just for you, a love letter set to music.

In a world where material wealth can be fleeting, our love and creativity remain the greatest riches we can share. And so, with guitar in hand, I'll craft a symphony of devotion, a testament to the transformative power of art and love.

[INSPIRATION]

"The heart is like a guitar string. If it's strung too loose, it won't make a sound. But if it's strung tight, almost to the breaking point, to the point of pain... Then... It can create a sound that crashes over you like a giant wave.”
― Natsuki Kizu, ギヴン 2 [Given 2]

` confliction ` edges of sanity — epitaph of confessions a darkness that thieves James N McManus a Poet from afar  Artist Credits © Oswaldo Guayasamín  El Grito no. 3 (The Cry No. 3), oil on canvas Ecuador 1983 [THOUGHTS] It's no secret to most that I'm inspired to write about art; it's the one thing that provokes this poetry of mine without pause. It's just something inside of me that constantly tugs at the mind of my eye. This piece by Ecuadorian Artist Oswaldo Guayasamín is no exception. With it's unique style of dark expressionism, I am reminded there's a darkness that has a way of creeping ever so close to the edge of my sanity,  accompanied by a nothingness, an abyss of lucidity provoking moments of conflicition within my realities. This contradiction of emotions seeps into the depths of my soul without conviction; it's like a thief in the night conspiring to plunder the last bit of peace from a fragile spirit. It's why on these Sundays, ...

` silence ` silenced solitude — a place of peaceful resolve finding inner truths James N McManus ‘a poet from afar' Photographer Credits  © Subhrodwip Karmakar    India 🇮🇳  @ subhrodwip_karmaka `The Silence of The Darkness` [THOUGHTS] There is a silence at the center of each person — a limitless space where the inner voice grows free to speak. That space leads us into a solitude, a place of peaceful resolve. A place to create — a poem, an artisic expression, to find our truths in a darkened world — it's how we find the voice in the silence that has something to say to the world. In that solitude, we may begin to hear in the silence the purpose we of our own lives. [INSPIRATION] “Give me solitude,” Whitman howled, “give me again O Nature your primal sanities!”

But on this Day set aside for our weakest moments,  my love for her is more than these words can say, because tomorrow, I'll love you more, no matter what comes with that day.
