PHILADELPHIA, PA
I don’t know why we’ve been thrown
into the depths of this cruel world
But as an artist, I am grieved by
the unsung possibilities
I have done what I could with despair
I have walked the path of hope
Until my feet bled
I have drank from the bitter veins of freedom
And cried upon the drunken heart of democracy
Where is the happiness for my pursuit
For my blood, sweat and tears
For the renderings of my suffering—
Where is the life, after this tumultuous death
For this must be the call of an artist:
To care in a world that is careless
To confront the world with the price of a breath
And dare them to face their worth!

MITAHSE!
Welcome to THE WARM CUP!

"I was broken for you, take ye eat--for these are my lessons learned; the bounty of my soul.

Everyone wants to be a poet, but no one is willing to suffer, to languish, to die. Don't talk to me about poetry, until you’ve been nailed to a cross---stripped bare, robbed, shamed, wounds ripped open for all the world to see. No you don't know poetry, you don't know the depths of such valley---you'll never come close to tally its cost -Thewarmcup

The darkness never fades. Even when sunlight appears. You carry a piece of that dark place with you----like a shadow at your side, so are the lessons learned. You never forget that place. That rich soil of experience.-The Warm Cup

"Loneliness is intrinsic" There's a profound truth in that statement. Loneliness, at its core, is a deeply personal and intrinsic experience.
It's something that many people face at different points in their lives, often leading to introspection and growth.
By embracing it, you seem to have found a way to connect with yourself on a deeper level, uncovering the beauty within and transforming loneliness into a source of strength and understanding.
Your journey is inspiring, and it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. How do you find peace in those moments of intrinsic loneliness?
I face the internal truth That loneliness is a body of healing waters. Not everyone can swim in the thick of it. Many have drowned in it's sorrows---I've been fortunate, you find peace in the understanding; It quenches the parts of you that ache--that yearns for anything other than yourself.

You come to appreciate the silence.
You come to understand its inaudible groans. You recline into the idea that God has set you apart.
Chosen to be a witness. To testify an honest truth. To rise from the depths of the eternal flame of the sun. To be borne into the life you've always imagined.-The Warm Cup

Most days I feel like the sun. A mere observer in this puzzled-piece world. Bearing the weight of darkness---lifted by the rays of understanding. I have been carved out of the womb of civilization---thrown into the bowels of great revelation. I know why the sun lifts its head---I know why its eyes burn like a raging sea.
