*SPOKEN WORD ARTIST* *EXPERIMENTAL POETRY* *BILINGUAL POET* *SELF PORTRAIT ARTIST*

I also make pieces of art out of my poetry; word art, or concrete poetry as it's also known. The  picture in the header in one of the first pieces of word art I made for the below poem and the video is my spoken word version, in both French and English, layered... Not sure if it sounds too messy with both but I like the idea at least... 

 

The poem, btw is one I wrote many years ago about healing and growth after having ones trust and heart broken...

 

JE SUIS L'AMOUR •

Je suis faiblesse
Je suis la force
Je suis impertinent
Je suis doux
Je suis le chaleur
Je suis froid
Je suis serrure
Je suis la clé
Je suis la sagesse
Je suis bête
Je suis chuchotement
Je suis crier
Je suis la haine
Je suis l'amour
Je suis rivière
Je suis la mer.

Je suis la mer parce que je suis immense
Je  suis rivière qui coule gratuitement
Je suis l'amour parce que je suis la force
Je suis déteste parce que je suis faible
Je suis crie parce que je suis en colère
Je suis murmure quand je cherche
Je suis bête parce que je vous croyais
Je suis la sagesse ( éternellement )
Je suis verrou parce que je suis terrifié
Je suis la clé parce que je suis courageux
Je suis froid parce que je suis fatigué
Je suis chauds parce que je suis un esclave
Je suis doux parce que je suis effrayé
Je suis impertinent quand je ne suis pas
Je suis la force parce que j'ai cassé
Je suis faiblesse
Je suis l'amour

I AM LOVE •

I am weakness
I am strength
I am sassy
I am sweet
I am hot
I am cold
I am lock
I am key
I am wisdom
I am fool
I am whisper
I am scream
I am hate
I am love
I am river
I am sea
I am sea because I’m vast
I am river flowing free
I am love because I’m strength
I am hate because I’m weak
I am scream because I’m angry
I am whisper when I seek
I am fool cos I believed you
I am wisdom (eternally)
I am lock because I’m terrified
I am key because I’m brave
I am cold because I’m jaded
I am hot because I’m a slave
I am sweet because I’m scared
I am sassy when I’m not
I am strength cos I’ve been broken
I am weakness
I am love

Yet another artist screaming (colourfully) into the void. I like to dance. I write. I do self portraiture and i draw... I cover topics ranging from racial bias to female sexuality to capitalism to rape culture and of course, love ❤️
