"Clutter is often tucked away and unseen.

Hidden in a bookshelf. Buried under things in a drawer. Squished between other things in a closet. Cloistered in a folder in a filing cabinet. Tucked away in an email folder.

Sometimes clutter are old memories or feelings hiding in our hearts"

- from Cluster Busting with Brooks Palmer

The Road by Rimly Bezbaruah (somewhere down the road)

THE ROAD
Rimly Bezbaruah

We embarked fearlessly

On a road, you and I

A promise, love and hope

Our only guiding light,

An unfathomable chasm

Separated us yet we

Sought that crossroad

To our union,

Our togetherness…

My hand reached out

To you across the abyss

Of possibilities

But your hand lay by your side

Inert, holding back

Leaving me directionless

As you took our

Road with you

Who am I? I wondered

Doubts seized me

Was I a distraction?

Or the woman you

Truly loved?

Without a choice

I turned towards

The unknown,

A road of pain

Despair and fear

Its path strewn

With corpses of broken dreams

And unfulfilled desires

I heard their wails

Of souls tormented

Of hearts shattered

And I knew I was

Not alone

The palpable darkness

Spreading its tentacles

Longed to possess me

I scurried along the

Haunted trail

My wails in tune

With the others

An age long walk

Down the devastation

The lure was strong

To stay forever

Tempting…

But I walked,

Tripping and falling

I walked 

Seeking the light…

The life that was mine…

Every faltering step forward

A shedding of old skin,

Helplessness, despair, agony

Slithered away

As darkness gave in

To the day,

The night pierced

By the first rays…

The echoing cries

Faded away

Happy chirping birds

Filled the air with

Their morning songs

In the distance

I saw him…

He who had come

In my dreams

The one that chased

My nightmares away

Hands outstretched…

I ran, reborn

The old dying for the new

As he took me

In his arms

I knew I was

Home at last.

Crazy Picture Fictions chapter 4

by Frank O

Awhile ago we left our adventurer Aaaron and Fher taking a detour in a restaurant...to avoid a suspicious stranger that had been following them. They seems to have forgotten their course as the liquor overshadow them...they filled their belly with drinks....

by Aree M. Salvador-Marin

   Their belly grew bigger as they drink (Oh can't find a better representation than this one. LOL) and turning Disillusioned (Jessica Brant) as the spirit engulf them... 

Yes, I am  a tippler,always making merry,
Who drinks the liqueur distilled in the Nature's brewery,
Where the bees and butterflies bring in the honey
Collected from the roses,foxgloves and peony.

Which is then brewed in the morning dew
Sent by Diana from her heavenly blue,
And some stardust is also added to it
To make the concoction more intoxicating.
Seraphs then gather around to propose the toast,
"Cheers,girl, you are our dear sibling!"

Getting drunk and giddy, I lean on the sun,
Who becomes moon-cold to join in the fun!
        (A Tippler by Portia Burton)

   Oblivious from the sets of eyes hiding in the shadows. Waiting for his moment, watching motionless...anticipating for the moment our two adventurers making any lapses as they drink...

This is the cue...The mysterious stranger suddenly move towards their table...he was holding something that shimmers and metallic, he took it from his side as he slowly made some careful steps...he realized the two were already drowsy so he stood right next to them, moving his head from side to side scanning the place for any soul that might still be around. He found none...
   This made him decide to put the metallic thing right in front of them, then he cleared his mouth and said "Ah Sirs, we are closing..." So he's the attendant after all and the metal that shimmers was the bill platter "Here's your bill." he pull the papers...and show you this...

by Jess Hubahib Najarros

      Ah...who's that? Aaron asked...the waiter was confused, then he looked at the bill. "Err...sorry sir wrong paper." he said scratching his head and finally handed the receipt.

   Our adventurer now took the streets still a bit tipsy but move forward to see Mari Sterling Wilbur...it was already dark and the road were bustling...

  We embarked fearlessly

On a road, you and I

A promise, love and hope

Our only guiding light, 
(The Road by Rimly Bezbaruah)

   "Are you sure we can get there with only those as our guide?" Fher asked Aaron Offord.

   Aaron paused. Maybe they have taken the whole adventure in an impulse. A promise? Love? Hope? Are those enough to solve the mysteries of  Melissa's disappearance. Then they look at the sky above...

by Jerly Thinkingspace

    "Let us ask for their guidance." In union both of them whispered. This gave them new courage to go on with this adventure. In fact they have come to chapter 4 (Thanks to Tagged ArtLover Group members who kept posting their works) and it is just proper not to let down those following this blog who is anticipating it's sequels.  

   The following day  the drama continues...

  The sun is already loosing its glow...and the moon taking its place...when they reach Mari's place...

by Andrea V. Lisi

   Instantly their attention was caught by this amazing place...noticing wonderful collections of rare flowers...

by TianBian Ham

by Carole Chichi

   And some butterflies too...

by Babis Kiliaris

   Seems being pulled by a strong current  they walk inside drawn by the tantalizing landscape of Mari's Garden...
  Then they heard loud barking and its rushing towards their direction fast and before they could move a large dog came charging their way...

by MaryPoet Rios

      Snarling and in rage the beast or Mari's guard dog charges the intruder...our adventurers panic...


   TO BE CONTINUED...

Crazy Pictures Fictions chapter 2 The Search

   The mysterious disappearance of Melissa intrigue StreetogrOFFY Investigator Aaron Offord decided to "I didn't always want to be a street photographer.  In fact, when I took up photography a year ago I was more interested in parlaying the photography thing into a paying gig; I know the dream of most photographers" (a line from My Becoming a street photographer) but this is beyond money now he decided to look for the Depth in Melissa's story.

   So together with his sidekick Fher Ymas they set out an adventure. Fher an expert in disguises called The Art of Realizationism  made Aaron look like this...

 

   "Hey, I don't look like a street photographer..." Aaron contested. 

   But Fher stopped him "Shhhh!!! You look like Hemant Kumar don't you like it?"

   With lots of arguing finally Aaron agreed to look like Hemant to "blend in the field, so they would not recognized you." The handsome sidekick said. (Don't argue again, this is my story remember?)

   Where do they start? That's the first stage of this investigation. 

   "We will go to Aabhisek Panda." Aaron decided. "He had archives of known expert in We Have a Story maybe there we can find relevant clue."

   I heard whispers of many mysterious and great revelations can be found in the book...but some said it was just a legend and it doesn't really exist. There maybe danger along the way...

    

   Then they started to walk The Road Liz Traveled like Liz M. Derry but along the way he remember something...he hesitates...

   "Maybe we can take some Photography Tips first with Mari Sterling Wilbur We can't just go there..."

    

   So instead of going directly to Aabhisek's they take first The Long and Winding Road  similar to the one taken by Jorie Pacli...  

   But little did they know they are being watched...

(suspense sounds here!!!...don't have the gadget so just imagine Lady Gaga singing My Way)

   What would happen now to our adventurer? Will Aaron Offord be comfortable being Hemant Kumar? How about Mari, will she be willing to help them with some Tips? 

   Watch for this intriguing story of love, deceptions, and passionate blogging. Will they have the Sensitivity like Sancheeta Biswas? Stay tuned...

   

   

   

Browsing

I was browsing some of our friends profile hunting for some interesting post and here's what I've found...I think they are worth sharing...

Why I like this one...it reminds me of one of my favorite Filipino legend "Ang Ibong Adarna" It's a mythical bird that when she sing's you'll fall asleep, and then once you're unconscious she will relieved her self on top of your head...and turn you into a stone. By the way, the above work is done in watercolor by Tahira Lubrano...

If you like flowers you'll love this blog from Mari Sterling Wilbur http://mariscamera.blogspot.com/2011/07/flower-friday.html

She said I’m working on another post for my series on street photography but haven’t gotten it finished. So, I decided to make this a Flower Friday. I hope you enjoy my images. 

This one I especially chose aside from the striking color contrast is it seems to depict different stages of life symbolical in flowers.

Now here's an artwork from Vince Roque positioning us to the top which is uncommon among painter. Beautifully made and he makes it look easy to draw this way.. 

and then we go to blogs...

you're the answer to every question I've ever had about love....

Discover the answer to Alpana Jaiswal's search...on her blog:

MOTIFS ON THE WALL 

I also found a thought provoking blog from Jerly Thinkingspace...Hopelessly Flawed. It discusses the imperfection of life taken on a new angle. Must read.

Jerly

To quote Jerly "Come to think of it, the world in fact has never been perfect especially when we look at all things with our perspective. Then we notice that, the woods usually don’t come without biting insects and blood sucking mosquitoes, the city with its comforts does not come without its crowd and pollution; or consider this, youth has so little in terms of essential maturity, whereas wisdom and maturity more often doesn’t have the glory of youth. Even virtues are attached with vice,"

http://jerlyt.blogspot.com/2010/10/hopelessly-flawed.html

Then of course I never forget to visit the page of my art partner Melissa Tandoc who was lately indulge in her blogging...sorry partner I can't pick a specific blog because all are highly recommended especially for lovers so I'll just let them browse on their own...

DEPTH looks at the HEART of the matter... ...contains REFLECTIONS shaped by experiences... ... turns INNERMOST THOUGHTS and CONVERSATIONS into a form of prayer...

http://grazieadio.blogspot.com/

Kaye Lasola one of our groups avid supporter also had something to say...

Kaye Lasola

If we will discuss about our CREATOR, our GOD about PERFECTION then I may say that HE is always PERFECT and all HIS CREATION. Now, imperfection exist in us human beings when Adam and Eve decided to be separated from God when they disobey Him by eating the fruit of knowledge of good and evil... means they are taking the matters on their own hands... and mankind inherited that all. Now, we can only be made perfect if we will be brought back again to our God because it is HIS doing that is working in our lives not ours so we can not boast about it. Now, how can we brought back to our God... it is the sacrifice of His Son, Christ Jesus... His death on the Cross of Calvary that purchased us all... only if accept and believe it in our hearts that He, Jesus came to save us... He is our Savior. Then we can be made perfect again, so as the works of our hands. Good night everyone... and thanks Fher and Maheshwar ... and to everyone too :)

I'm still convincing Kaye to start a blog because I personally believe she will contribute greatly on this area.

That's all for now...we'll be visiting other member's profile too....SOON!!! So be ready and if you have anything in mind, a particular idea, Blogs or Artworks you want to share, let us know...we are here to help uplift each other.

Latest Arts and Blogs

It's hard to keep track of what's happening and are the latest works from our members...lately we received very interesting paintings and even blogs  that keep our page rolling. Thank you guys for the unconditional sharing. I'll try to list here some of them, in case you missed them the first time. 

   Our members had been very supportive to other artist as they post works from other creatives too. Here is a sample of that sharing posted by Vince Roque, a work from fellow Filipino artist R. Alcantara 

Acid Swim by Rolly Alcantara

   "Langoy sa Asido" or Acid Swim is a mixed-media piece...this one may have been inspired by the recent fish-kill from various part of the Philippine Archipelago. This takes us to wonder if we are really good steward of our planet.  

   Now here's another work that is currently making some thread. Although we maybe united in our ideals of uplifting the arts, of course you can not discount the possibilities of some exchanges of ideas that are not totally aligned with each other...yet through it all we still meet in the end (I hope).
