Pedro M. Rosario Barbosa Cosmological Constant (~ Poetic Work)

Cosmological Constant

I want to fly high and above the arcs,
and, for you, the skyish horizon attire.
Then I will start to sow a path of quarks
And a nebula will quantize my desire

to enjoy the ruby scent of your hair,
as my soul would sink into your eyes,
to roam in the verdant fields of your stare,
and discover the cosmos in your skies.

As gift, I offer you a shining eclipse
that will create the shadow brid

Justina Ann Jordan Love

show me heaven in a heartbeat, my chest pounds with what is love. An unmistakable rhyme and rhythm. Listless and restless in its pursuit of ultimate satisfaction, and i have found it. I have found that of which poets write and singers sing, Lyrical and written, carved into the fabric of every being. It is love and love is moving and strong. Love is power and passion. Love is a psychopath. I shall hold on to love. I shall keep it under lock and key in a crystal case so everyone can see, so everyo… Continue

Sara Louise A Vampyre Love Poem...

Vampyre Love Poem By Sara L. Russell, 18:10, 14/2/09 (first posted on Vampirefreaks.com, 14/2/09) Oh come my beautiful and darkly-shining, Release me from the thirst of love's desire; Half hidden now, the cloud-veiled moon is rising To shine when we are joined in passion's fire. The moonlight ripples out across the water, All's quiet beneath the star-bejewelled sky, As shadow lord embraces twilight's daughter, Speaking her name out of a trembling sigh. I hear the denizens of midnight… Continue

Sara Louise A Vampire Tale (In 4 Sonnets)

A Vampire Tale (In 4 sonnets) by Sara L. Russell, 2/6/03 I A vampire's spun of dust and frailty, Condemned to shun the healing light of day; No innocent first kiss for such as he, No cross to keep his own demons away. He's poised in shadow, by the lady's bed, Fixated by her flawless, youthful skin, Her fragile throat beneath her dreaming head, Translucent, showing pale blue veins within. "And will I lift the curtain of thy hair, And on thy pale white bosom,… Continue

Sara Louise Kissonnet

Kissonnett Sara L. Russell, 01:12 25/09/2008 Come gentle lover, let me share your air and taste the kisses only your lips bring, Speaking in tongues, my hands lost in your hair, with every nerve alive and shivering. Manna of angels, honeyed on the lips rains down on me, leaving me mesmerised; bestowed only in tantalyzing sips, till every fantasy is realized. The sullen low, the upper Cupid's bow, the pout so often teased into a smile; By far the sweetest mouth I'll ever know - i… Continue

CREATIVE THINKERS INTERNATIONAL MEMBERSHIP GUIDELINES




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.
