Diaspora
The lady of his life hesitates.
But survival necessitates.
One? Maybe two? Or three years away?
To a land of milk and honey
Which offers nothing more than money.
He walks the strange streets.
His sun-drenched tropical skin
Makes the pale-colored ones paler.
To the whiter ones, it meant WORKFORCE ON SALE.
Browned by sunshine means a willing farmhand.
Hands ready to be calloused, ready to be dirtied,
The same hands that raised his firstborn
Whose cry only me… Continue

Empty Eyes
Into the crisp, cold morning mist.
Artificially awakened by the noisy time machine.
Hundreds out in the streets.
Chasing the metro.
En masse, crammed into motion.
Delivered wholesale into assembly lines.
The most pathetic sight to see.
Are the eyes of them bound by slavery.
For a measly sum, borne out of of sweat.
As those eyelids forced to separate.
Awakened by the need to work.
Wondering why one has to serve.
To people not of one's blood.
To mas… Continue

Four Chambers
There are more rooms to fill, then.
Will a valve break if one isn't occupied?
Does this explain why one love isn't enough?
Will it be harder to mend a broken heart?
Quadruple the agony?
Quadruple the ecstasy?
To my heart's content might be a more difficult condition to experience.
Will the one occupying my ventricle have more weight than the one in my auricle?
And can I not love five?
If it takes four rooms filled for my heart to beat healthily...… Continue

Eve of Hereafter
The warmth of a kiss dips into a summer of descending temperatures.
The intimacy can still seep through an unknown, impermeable space.
There's a void that threatens to implode.
What exists in the now is overshadowed by the anonymity of tomorrow.
Neither the sheer joy of assembling words can overpower the unsaid.
Sizzling in the present, frozen in the future.
The highlights of an evening fade like diminuendo.
It's a season of dis… Continue

The Path of a Creative Thinker at CTI
1. Membership at CTI is free and open to all those interested in either the production or appreciation of the creative arts, to include literature, visual art, dance, music, film, spiritual theory, the social sciences, philosophy, general humanities, scientific inquiry, education in general, and other disciplines intended to enhance the quality of life for all humanity.
2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.
3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.
4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.
5. Explore, grow, share, and enjoy your creative success.
Please remember, these guidelines are likely to evolve as the site itself continues to evolve and develop. We welcome and encourage your input. After all, yours are some of the best minds on the planet so we would be very foolish not to listen to what you have to say.
