[THOUGHTS]

Some have said my way is one of curiosity, one that never seems to live for the moment, one that never appreciates my current situation, some even say I'm full of optimistic dreams for what tomorrow may usher.

But, yet others see me as a tender-minded idealist, driven by an unrelenting sense of explore, charting new courses to the unknowns that simply lay ahead.

But what I see is a finder of truths, searching for a place that's lost deep within my soul. A place where I feel a sense of understanding, a place where I can forage my own thoughts on my own terms.

I see a place that has eluded me for far too long, a place that just feels right, a place where I'm meant to be

Just a place where I can finally call peace.

[INSPIRATION]

"There is no 'way to peace,' there is only 'peace.”

` 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!”

` be mine ` hints of my madness romantic proclamations loves' weakest moments — a poet February 14th, 2025 Artist Credits © Filippo loco Spain 🇪🇸 `Be Mine` Mixed Media, Acrylic on Fine Art Paper Source: SAATCHI ART [ VALENTINES THOUGHTS] With each passing day, my love for her grows, with hints of madness, I sense it's even more than the dawn that yesterday gave, a romantic proclamation of promise of tomorrow's adore will bring even more. 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. Forever and always, my heart belongs to her, wishing to just hers. [INSPIRATION] "The strength of love lies in its vulnerability." - Aloo Denish Obiero
