Magazine Art Journal

This is my new magazine art journal. I made it by cutting down a magazine and folding the pages over and gluing them together. It is a fun journal that I can just grab a draw, journal, glue, stick and anything else you would do in a magazine art journal. It takes the fear of a blank page out of my mind, and I can relax knowing it is just a magazine I am journaling on.

Poetry - "Holding Onto Hope"

"Holding Onto Hope"

Contemplating echoes
Pressing thru my tears
Holding onto hope
Bearing thru my fears
Removing clothes within
Having different skin
Wanting to run away
Never return again
Watching for a moment
A twinkle of my eye
When all the changes
Take me by surprise
Overturning memories
Sifting thru the lines

Thoughts

Art Journal Page filled with sporatic thoughts and studies during my personal journaling time.

Poetry titled, "Waking Up"

"Waking Up"

A glimmer of perfect light
With hues of sapphires and gold
Words that were gently spoken
Of echoes through the night
I wondered in the shadows
Fiery coals burning within
The keys were holding open
A place I'd never been
I turned for an instant
Time seemed to stand still
A pondering this deep moment
I shivered from the chill
The likeness of appearance
I could never see or feel
Then the dream went silent
I pulled back the veil
I awakened from yesterday
Into a dreamy spill

"Adoration"

Oh how I adore You

So missing Your Divine touch

Re-Bliss my inner shadows

Take back what is Yours Alone

Consume me in Thine Love

Complete my incompleteness

For I am incomplete without You

You are my Rock of Strength

My heart fully leans upon

Needing Your Divine Love

Desperate for Your Holy Touch

Caress my Spirit with Thine Grace

Draw me into You

Draw me unto You

Consume me in Thine Love

Wash away the debris

of life's violence again

giving me renewed hope 

and strength to face the day

let not time slip anymore away

Say you love me and pull me

nearer cleansing all away, 

consuming my soul's need and desire

for thee; thus tis time forever stay. 

Never abandon never no more, 

for I live to love thee, 

my true love forevermore.

I wanted to run...

I wanted to run, but where
I wanted to cry, but to whom
I've felt so lost
Abandoned and abused
My flesh cries out
My soul feels confused
I waited for you, but you never showed
Alone I was left
While you did your own
An outcast I am
Broken by you
Used in distorted pleasures
Consciously desiring you
And yet my heart cries
Where are you
A devoted sacrifice
Years of pain
Consecrated and set apart
Yet all in vain
All that is left
Is the scars that remain
