fade away

In this life we make for ourselves, it seems our identity is the

first casualty.

As a man thirsting

surrouned by waters of oceans blue,

so we drown in a sea of faces.

Fade to the backgound,

motions blured, out of focus.

Frozen images of dreams forgotten.

All sense of self lost in the wave of time,

the wave of lifes hum drudgery.

We uniform ourselves from childhood

shool uniform city shirt and tie… Continue

yesterdays dreams

was i ever really that man

i see befor me now pictures

a face of yesterday

in rememberence of times

of dreams still alive

possible of fruition

a time befor lifes lessons

encrusted as armour

a cynisisme born out

of experience

yet still in recognition

i see eyes familier staring back

in a mirrors reflection

the flame still there

not so fierce as in youth

a light still bright

for life without hope

without dreams… Continue

love lays neath the angry waves

love lays deep neath the angey sea

deep bellow in correl grave

lays in shades of turqoise green and blue

as the ocean she fills

with tears shed in sorrow

no more for her the promise

of tomorrow each day can be seen

a gohstly figure on cliffs high

empty eyes stare focused

on some far away horizen

she waites as in time

her life to fade

till comes the day when again

her love will rise take… Continue

From it we come back to it we go

Mother Earth, from it we are moulded from it we are made

we are the sum of all its energy

minerals components

all that the earth is made of

so is man we are in truth

mostly of water the source

of all life

why then do we

abuse it so without it

we are lost

without the ground to walk on

we disapate into the billion

seperate atoms we are made from

since we first lit the first

fire we… Continue

Winter

winter some may say is

dark gloomy the season cold

wet and dark

not so say i, is a season of

rest renewal

a time nececery for plants to rest

sleep and recoupe

roots, seeds lay dormant

insulated deep neath

a blanket of snow

ready to burst fourth in

the magnificent spring show

mountains to, cradel a snowy nest

ready for the early melt

filling rivers lakes resiviors

giving waters… Continue

In time we fade

weep not for me as memory fades

distant rains pass tears dry away

as all things become dust drifting on

the beeze carried softly who knows where

so with time must i be forgot

but saddness need not prevale

saddness only comes when life is wasted

natrual in spirit is time passing

a life well spent travling a road

of my own choosing

instead live your life not in fear

be not be a do nothing… Continue

Desire of Dreams

Take a bite said the snake

and ever since the carrott

and the stick has been our goal

we chase that elusive butterfly

in the pusute of imagined joy

wealth desire happiness

SUCKERS!!!!

see the snake as all great magicians

knew that slight of hand

was the order of the day

for the reality can never be

the dream and fantsy is just

that a fantasy

the trick is to make us believe

in the possobility

so merily we dance chasing… Continue

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. Applicants should be at least 17 years old and members are allowed one full profile per person.

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.
