Love is the essence of pure thought. There is nowhere that this thought is not. I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma, just beyond the outskirts of several gypsum plateaus, miles of desert sand and vast horizons. I would go out into fields of sunflowers with my pen and paper, watching the currents of wind moving through miles and miles of wheat to write about the lucid imagery I would see when I closed my eyes, the experiences of coming out in a conservative community and finding my way as an artist in a place that did not nurture the arts. Words have always been my primary way to sort out my experiences into streams of consciousness that act as a form of self-discovery. Called by the overwhelming pull to follow my dreams, I relocated to the Catskills to follow my passions and put every idea into motion. I am currently working on several video projects, performances in several venues, live music, Sparkle Poetic radio ads, and many new things that you can keep up with on my website below. Welcome to the realm of words. Love is real. www.sparklepoetics.com

Thanks for checking out my page! Feel free to leave a comment :)

A summary? How is thou to write a summary, when a summary is a description of something worthful? I have had few worthful experiences since i turned 12. Now my life is very different. I am emo, emotional, a cutter, and a very hurt, and depressed about to be teen. I might even be bipolar. I cannot tell you of a life oh so FULL of happiness, because if I said that's how my life is or was, I would be lying. I cannot tell of a time, since I turned 12, that I have not thought of killing myself neither. I see things, That's the main cause of my negative feelings. They caused almost all of this pain and hurt. But they made me realize how really cruel the world is, and how it's oh so full of pain, tears, and sadness, and even fear. I am the way I am, and all of it together in the past year, has made me suicidal. i am the way I am, and I do NOT want to live a different life, but this one DOES need help. I am just too afraid to get help. I have told people of my problems. Some have told me to get help. WELL HOW ABOUT YOU OUT YOUR HEART WHERE YOUR MIND THINKS IT'S PLACE IS RIGHTFUL!!! I know I need help, but I need you to help. Any and everyone. Please pray for me, and PLEASE don't tell me to get help. I dont want you to TELL me to get help, I want you to BE help.

Everyday i discover, my weaknesses and my strengths. I am a mother of two heavenly little girls. I was born a writer and i'm actually gonna write what I want printed on my tombstone.. lol

Exploring the depths of my own experiences with pen and paper. Writing has always been a form of my own self therapy but decided to venture out with blogging a few, happy for any kind of feedback.

I have always been captivated by the beauty of poetry; the elegance and clarity with which such pain and intensity can be translated. Identifying with a poem is different than relating to plain words, it connects you not only to someone's inner self but also to their creative ability. I started writing poetry in elementary school (I should probably burn those poems) and mostly wrote about nature, since as a kid I did not have many troubles. As I grew older, though, my poetry transformed into a channel for my painful experiences and trauma. At 17, my twin brother, Christopher, committed suicide. I found bleeding myself dry onto paper with the feelings and thoughts I could not comprehend inside my own mind helped me to sort through the shock, the pain, and the regret. Four years later, my father died in my arms from a heart attack. Again, I was faced with internal anguish, boiling under my skin and reverberating off the walls of my consciousness. Poetry has always been my outlet. I am not talented at drawing or really any other art form. Translating very dark, personal pain, into rhythmic, flowing stanzas allows me to open up in ways I cannot otherwise.

Born in the Northwest of England some would describe my upbringing as dysfunctional, I like to call it colourful. I would consider myself a fearless character at my best and a vulnerable creature at my worst, I believe that words in any form whether it be music, poetry or simply a thought are the most powerful gift that man has been given. I am currently training in the field of hypnotherapy and psychotherapy. Thank you for taking the time to read my words.

Believe and have Faith in your life. Live it the way God has written it within the pages of YOUR book. Bring alive the story that is for you to run free and for everyone else to read. My favorite thing in life is making EVERY moment a memory. The voice coming from your heart shows more than the fiction of the mind.- Rachael Busjahn

I'm Jessica, I live and go to college in Florida. Almost all of my poems started out as song lyrics with tunes and repeated chorus's but I narrowed them down into poems, it's the same kind of expression regardless. I figure that it somewhat applies, so to understand my form of writing a little more, I am an INFP. I have always had a passion for wordplay and writing; It's awesome how many different forms of writing there are and how many ways it can be expressed, as with art in general. Follow and I will read/comment on your poems that I really like. Happy writing :)

what a treacherous thing, to believe that a person is more than a person.

happy hippie
