About Me

I'm nobody important...
...but I'll change your life if you let me in yours.
For more photos, feel free to visit my Flickr site. I will be adding more periodically.
"The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." Morrie Schwartz
My favorite photo by Kim Taylor Reece - "Kai Olo Hia"
In this venture, nothing gained // I've only just touched the surface // Once nervous, when writing for a worthless purpose // It was once more than this, before the heart left the beat // The soul left the speech, I'm still trying to reach my niche, and teach the love again // Inside the hate of a present day // Got stepped after, being genuine we're swept away // Before importance of diamonds, bells and a platinum place, fallen from grace // Not my campus with another trace // Of the same thing I came in, this thing is worth saving // Standing in the pockets holding tongues of what I'm saying // Blaming myself only for supporting what they're playing // I may peek through the storm, but now it's raining // Although, creating is native to me, I tried to be // Even patience couldn't save it, from the days of pages // They couldn't believe I would say this // No longer without wings // Too many undermind, what I underline // Placing my poetry underneath their making of rhymes // It was a creation of frustration // Brown bricks or black slates // Subway trains and cardboard bound with masking tape // It was the sound of the evening, the way the day grew late // Words tumble from lungs over my tongue and gave a new taste to my fate // It doesn't matter how the chatter would paint us // With love on our side they could barely stand against... us.
What's in store for The Karl? Hawaii this August! Aloooha!

Feel free to drop a line and say, "Hello!"

We haven't met, but I'm the one hoping to get inside your loneliness.
With a whisper that lifts you up, a gift of scripture, a picture of holiness.
And I'll be waiting 'til it's only us and the day you hold me.
Just to know that it must be sacred
With a trust of a naked infant, the instant life is held.
See how the night is held, a gallery of gallaxies
with you its most attractive piece.
You call to my spirit through the walls of my flesh.
Yeah, I fall when I hear: "my darlin'"
How I long for those words to transform my world into your platform
as we act out the Song of Solomon.
I'm following your scent, 'til all logic is absent.
And you are all that makes sense.
My defenses are down on purpose.
I want you to hurt this pride.
Murder this ego as you work inside.
Nurture this need to breathe you in like you're morning air,
and exhale when stars appear.
From up here, I can only dream to kiss you.
Until then I miss you.
Amelie - Mr. J Medeiros
