Never forget, I still love you.
Even through all the shit.

Abode

I know my feet are floating,
I know we're for life.

Where do i live?

I miss that place i call home now.

Further density -
Bigger places. bigger spaces.

And why should we employ you?
To save my mental health.

Disconnection From another.

Dig deep, shovel fast.
Find that feeling, find that child within.
Disconnect,
jump away from your safety, it's just you and your mind.

Find the deepest feelings within, drag them too the surface.
Hold them - feel them.

Don't forget the negative thoughts though, that's where you will long for him.
Find comfort in your solace. 

It’s when your home you will find my love held safe for you.

You can take as much as you want, I’ve cherished it for you.

But please can I have some back too?
That’s when I will cherish you

Odds

Stand, Split, Hit or Double?

Take insurance?

You are true beauty. 
No insurance - increase my bet to the maximum.

I was willing to take a gamble on you,
now you’ve got me hooked. 

Worn

Dog ears,
Battered corners,
Worn fabric,
Cover used,
Used - Like new?
Missing page

This book has been around.

Hypocrite

Who said "Envy Is So Green"?

Disorientated in the missing persons department.

Sunshine and smiles,
Sand and alcohol.
Dancing with loved ones.


Sit!
Stay!

I said "Envy is So Green".

White Envelope

Opened or sealed?

Important, fragile, private and confidential?

Delivered or unsent?

Destroy After Reading?

Hand delivered?

White envelope without a name, address nor a stamp.
It awaits delivery,
it awaits class,
it awaits readers.
But it most certainly must be resealed.

The envelope that was lost in the post.

The Defenition of Love

One could use love in use to describe immaturely the strong liking of something, especially in the case of young lovers, feeling their ‘in love’ after a few months. Love is dedication, to and from someone and something. A passionate desire that runs in the mind and what you believe in. Love for a person is something direct and generally (in some cases) both ways but when only one way mental torture plays its part.

The love for family and the love for a partner have a very much different feel especially if the love for family has been introduced through birth (parents or close family). The love for family is ‘protective’ and personal in a way that having to tell a family member you love them is required more sub consciously known.

The love for a partner for me is complicated in a way that I feel the need to split it down into three categories.

Falling in love,

Being in love,

Commitment.

Falling in love-

Person A and person B meet; there is sexual attraction and a desire to know more about personality and opinions. I feel the falling in love stage can be sped up through a catalyst, here is my theory.

If the scientific views are correct on the three stages of love (attraction, lust and attachment) linking to bodily chemicals to the brain then this theory could be a catalyst.

 (p + s) x t = L

(p = passion, s = sex, t = time, L = love)

This constant release of chemicals in sexual intercourse creates further lust especially if person A and B are passionate the more chemicals the faster attachment should evolve.

Being in love-

An addiction to a person, physically and mentally, wanting their attention in some way or the other. A unique feeling to each person and to each love, especially to the first. A caring desire for a person in a protective manner whether aggressive or offensive. Love is a multiplication of the feeling of friendship whereas with friends you could argue and end a friendship, lovers if committed enough will sort through and repair the argument. The feeling of love can be for more than one person at a time (in some cases) and falling out of love can take months or even years. When person A and B are in love they can feel the need to block out everything else that happens around them and disconnect them from the world. This can be dangerous in some cases as if Person A loves person B more and Person B was to self indulge in acts that person A wasn't involved in person A (if still disconnected) automatically ignores this. This is called ‘Blind Love’. Being in love involves (generally) two people feeling desire and attraction to be together at the same time or even all the time. Being in love is trusting someone and committing if these two key areas aren’t fulfilled then love usually falls apart. Real love can block out opinions from others even if they are directed from family members or close friends.  Falling in love is changing a person’s mind patterns until its overwhelming to their thoughts. Love is immeasurable but the feeling and what was felt is when lovers fall apart and the linked life is lost. I base my theory of love as a sexual act here but it doesn’t at all have to be sexual especially if commitment is involved. Even more personally love has become a drug to me, it is the want and desire to constantly find the relationship that has the desired effect on my mind and that keeps me and my partner happy. The fix for commitment and life with someone else.

The final stage of commitment also grown with attachment is how love survives.

‘Commitment’

Committing yourself to someone is an act of giving up any personal space you have for someone. Allowing that person into your personal matters and giving your life too them. Many people feel the need to marry someone to feel 100% committed I don’t feel this necessary for success. Marriage to me is just locking down a contract saying that you won’t give up on someone and that you will stay faithful. That is commitment but why do two people require a contract for this? Commitment is loyalty through sexual acts and allowing someone else to take a part of their life. Once committed the acts that they go through will take into consideration the acts the other person is going through. A passionate and protective dedication enters this e.g. dropping everything scheduled for the other person. To commit to someone they need to be trusted and trust has to be built like love. Without trust there is doubt and when there is doubt there are arguments. Being committed generally means that someone (in most cases both parties) is planning ahead or wanting to spend their future with the other party. If the will is strong enough and both parties show enough commitment any argument can be repaired and talked through as trust and faith are always involved. The act of love and commitment go hand in hand allowing both parties not to worry about anything an ‘outsider’ thinks.

Powles

A death is arriving,
The void of the unknown.

For this location thrives for excitement,
even if it looks worn out.

It can attack your mind.
It can attack your heart.

This wasn't a holiday; this was a time to reflect.

He knows everything,
he is a holder of secrets.

He holds a heart of gold, a heart of innocence.

(you should really meet him)

Time Bomb

Adventure into the core,
you will discover the petrified soul.
The one who feels discomfort for the attack.

The guilt for doubt. 

What is my job?

It is my job to find words to describe. I research for years, this fascination for what I feel I should express. It is my job to find metaphors. I describe something as something else to create a new vision. It is my job to create. I become creative and manipulate techniques making obscure items which I claim have meaning. I borrow money. I can’t get a paid job I'm far too busy. I dedicate my life. To this culture, a culture of art and design – the creative process.

Then my research is overwhelmed by personal experience. I run out of metaphors, my creativity is distracted. I feel guilt for family finance. My dedication to the creative process runs low.

And I realise that my job is yours. This experience in itself is art; the beauty of you brings a new meaning. I want to be your culture because you fascinate me. I want to dedicate myself to you.

Accelerate Months

Thinking of boxes,
my life in boxes.
It's nearly time.

Assessment of Dust

Time hands backwards,
flux function forthwith.

Reinforced Hearts,
Sleepless Nights Dreaming Of You,
Exceptional Unshared Feeling-

But transient residency.


Ecstasy oscillate,
polished views of the state.
Foolproof.

Acceptance

State the purpose of your visit,
business or pleasure?

Can I see some I-D please?

And what makes you a suitable candidate for the vacancy?

Denied-
next please.

Supervisor disagrees with management.

If you can just wait for the appeal to process...we’ll be with you shortly.

Always Dreaming Of The Blue Lagoon

Liberation of the Latter

So what have you got?
I think you have everything I solicit-

The modest becomes a lottery winner.

Unlock to it.
Break out to my mansion.

His grip is informed,
you are aware.
You are frozen in the lock.

Bifocal

Blue lagoon,
Diving deep into the dazzle.
Tiger paused, every agitation captured.
Wind through the lingering branches more so like the movement of a disciplined brush stroke.
Covered in the overcast;
Still, a beautiful film, shooting on a
Vague canvas.

Incarcerate

Like pickling,
Waiting to mature.
Repressed for dangerous denial.

Confined to peace.
It’s hard you know.

But the key to the obscure is in hand.

These words will soon belong too you-
A tribute to your compassion.

Cupidity

The flourish of the tribute I made.
The bounty I gave.

Indulge on the flesh,
It will satisfy your hunger.

Stimulate,
Desire.

Withdraw.

Now dependant,
Longing fulfilment of mania.

 Premium Eros,
Sculpted to perfection.
For my optics only.

Premium Eros

Sculpted to perfection.
For Private Buyers only.

Status

How the bank would love me if i had your shoes.
How the family would love me if i had your contracts.
How all my friends would be proud if i could get my voice that high.
But your only audio,
I, am visual.

Silent Maze

This maze has too many walls,
I need people to scream to help me find my way out.
Shadowed hedges to walk through.

The wind blowing like it was through skyscrapers.
When people arrive the exit will appear.

This is a maze of silence,
A maze of solitary.

Anniversary Gift

My newest piece which you can see in more detail on http://www.flickr.com/photos/danny-k/

Construction

Supports, concrete
bricks and mortar.

A commitment to stand high.
Once built the constant pride and talk.

Such beautiful architecture.

Entwining

Wrapping, twisting.
You have wielded.
The unescapable grasp.
For it can be ran from?

Completely absurd!

Hold fast,
stand strong.
Fallen to my knees i shall be yours,
as you will be mine.

The Electric Vibration

Minds savaged by electronic memories,
microchips,
cyber-life.

The addictive state of refresh and wait.
Is this a challenge of social acceptance or an excuse to skip certain tasks?

Tap,Tap,Tap.
Click.
Enter, Space.

Keys to another world.
Enter our generation.

Progression

Two become one,
Time's become days.
I become you,
You become me.

Were baking this cake,
The smell of it is electrifying.

Now were sharing slices.
