this is my excruciatingly last-minute response to jackdanyells' question: "do you support the arts / writing on youtube"
the video is a love-letter to 'inspiration' as a friend; as a fickle lover.
inspiration is the very thing that drives art & writing.
just like there is a place for inspiration in the minds & palettes of folk; there is a place for arts & writing on youtube.

dear inspiration,
we have not kissed for days.
you disappear with the ease of the ghosts i pretend not to believe in, & you slip through the loopholes of my jargon & thought patterns, as if your only obligation is to slide through space.
the days were kinder then, & you taught me to speak with the diction of the skies. you taught me to write about charisma like a broken record where everything was muted against the infinite repeat of charm & of charm & of charm & of charm.
sometimes, in your absence, you take my clarity. sometimes, it's my sanity. always, you take a piece of me with you.
i have looked for you under tea-cups & between the lines of someone else's pride. it would help if you were not so nameless & not so faceless.
there is a place, much like you, where inertia & gravity do not apply.
i only have open arms for you & like my skin & my soul are territories already marked with your name, there is a place like a smooth canvas that waits for your calligraphy.
there will be a place for us here.

funny how i actually lacked inspiration for this video & words are recycled from previous poems.

Too bad, in my opinion you are one of the funnier people on youtube, with the added bonus that you tend to teach people as you are entertaining them.
Ahh well, hopefully you're moving on to bigger and better things, but i'll still check back from time to time to see if you're uploading again. *fingers crossed* :)
