The Hours
SO . . .
Last weekend Nicolas accepted an invitation to work with me on some creative photo projects. This was the first time we ever had any one-on-one time as i have only met him on two previous occasions and alot of other stuff was always going on - but i digress . . .
So after a long 3 hour drive from Oregon he walks into my home/slash/studio/slash/cave. He did not seem phased by the lack of daylight (never mind it's 1:30 in the afternoon). I'm studying him . . . loving his Andy Warhol meets David Bowie, androgyny look he had going on. Cool crazy hair and an awesome bowler hat, completed his look. He has very pale skin and a tall, lean, delicate body. I find his whole presence/look uniquely fascinating. Inside my head i'm looking him over, thinking of all the amazing ways i wish to play with his look creatively . . . Outside my head i look up at him cute as ever (my 5'6" to his 6'3") and ask, "are you hungry?"
He smiles wide, nodding his head and we head off to the kitchen for some serious cooking! I think sharing food is a beautiful way to bond. As artist-to-artist co-creating can be a very intimate exchange of soul/Spirit/body. I wanted to have some time to connect with him on a non-studio level, a more personal level. So i made us a hot lunch and we took it out to my balcony to share some lunchtime chit-chat.

Don't be hatin' on the Hello Kitty, my sister gave it to me and that's all i have to say about that!

A serious moment . . .yes, that's me braving the sunlight out on my balcony(sensitive eyes). No, it's not special-effects, i am really that pale - don't be scared.
BACK to the Studio . . .
He had his own ideas and photoshoots he wanted to do, but this trip decided to devote all the studio time to developing my ideas. I love this man! We both had similar feelings regarding Spirit/love/Alchemy. And he took my ideas for it in new wondrous directions. It was fun, challenging and exhausting. I think my favorite time was him writing on my body, i just got to lay down, close my eyes and relax. And having someone write on your body is strangely soothing/quieting/meditative.
We worked out a nice synchronistic rhythm with eachother, falling into it rather naturally. He did most of the camera angles (i love his unique perspectives) we did our own make-up, i ran lights and we collaborated alot on the poses, sets and costuming.
What transpired over the hours was pure co-creative bliss. We were transported somewhere magical and fantastical. We crammed 3 different photoshoots/themes/sets into one day. And that day was nothing short of surrational.
Doing the psycho bathroom set was so much fun! OMG!!! We took it from sweet and sacred to psychotic in just a matter of minutes. I love creative extremes. In the bathroom set we played demented little darlings.
What's great about my connection with Nicolas is that we can't really out-wierd eachother because we are both that odd combination of strange and sweet. We're both wacked . . . and as wacked, were just better together! LOL
Oh yeah . . then there was the set inbetween with the two picture frames.
But enough jibber jabber . . . let's get to the pics and poetry already . . .
As always . . . partake and enjoy!
~peace and love~

Sacred Love

Chained Soul
listen to me recite Chained Soul
Beware of the mysterious man
Selling soul desire . . .
Seductively easing into your will,
He will forever chain you to
"i want, i think, i feel"
SUCCUMB
And you will remain prisoner
To the glamours of this world
He will massacre your mind
He will slice you in two
Severing Spirit
Killing off connection
Cutting the universal thread
Don't let him mess
With your pretty little head
Your pain
IS
his pleasure . . .

The Spirit Slayer
listen to me recite The Spirit Slayer
The king of crystal clear desires
He'll whisper across your neck
He'll taunt your flesh
He'll set your passions ablaze
He'll seduce you into
His lustral haze
Don't fall for the beautiful mystique
The allure of emotions
Running pseudo-deep
Make no mistake - it's not you he craves
It's your precious Spirit
He seeks to slay . . .

When Darkness Falls
listen to me recite When Darkness Falls
When darkness falls
You'll lay across the sky
Casting all your fears aside
As the light of illumination
Gently kisses your delicate
LIFELESS
eyes . . .
You'll dance with death and demons alike
As you sense your Spirit
Simultaneously spiraling
Back toward life
The constant struggle of flesh and Spirit
Twisting you up inside
Reminding you
You are
ALIVE

Under the Radar
listen to me recite Under the Radar
In the quiet sacred moments
That is you and me . . .
We fall
Under the radar
In a darkened room we share
Thoughts unspoken and
The electricity of . . .
The almost touch
The almost kiss
The almost love
Sensation emerges from the darkness
In the form of your hands
Gently pressed
Into my delicate skin
Barely whispering of desire
They draw me in
Our synergy rising and falling
Rising and falling
SPIKING

Synching
Listen to me recite Synching
Our worlds collide
And a sea of possibilities arise
Ebbing and weaving
With the creative tide
Pushing and pulling
Beautifully contrasting
Ever-expanding
Celebrating the similtude
Embracing the differences
Discovering our own language
SYNCHING

The Connection
Listen to me recite The Connection
Time granting us a preview
Of the bliss to come
Evolving on the slow rising scale
Of friendship . . .
we became
LOVE
Our desire set to simmer
As something deeper stirred
The bigger picture
The greater experience
Higher selves
MERGED
Deep
Co-creative
Ever-Evolving
Elevative
We are
THE CONNECTION

Fearless Love
Listen to me recite Fearless Love
We love deep
Exposing weaknesses
Vulnerabilities
Creating safe spaces
Tender places
Loving Oasis
Naked Souls
Expressed Emotions
Spirits Shown
Our fearless love
Paving the path
To intimacy
