Little white bird

Tell me more, of the woman I knew once as lost girl.

has she lost the taste of flavor that burns deep in me.

I watch her paddle from afar... The calm surface of a duck, but deep down. underneath the lake, below her walls. shes drowning..

will forever last, or has she changed our plan?

Yellow Electric Sun

I fell irrevocably in love,
with the eyes of 1000 years,
to be precise
I fell in love with the reflection I feared most to look upon, and danced in your charms.

At the time was it, my pride? or our tales, turn truths.

Today, when I vocalized your name, will you freeze once again. or have you grown cold to our connection as I am of being without you?

The weight of your eyes, press deep in my chest,
unsex my thoughts, your touch against my heart is unbearable

I swim through blue storms,

If ever, you forget our love, It could not seise my realities

you are love made visible...

-LaRayia
Can't help how I feel, no matter how hard I try.

I am lost in work, friends and love.

Fewer words will slip, and photos from now on will tell my story.

Iowa.

The Best day this month was by far yesterday.

I had an audition for a comedy horror feature film.

I met with the director Tim Sullivan.

We went over the script, he made me do a cold read for my character.

I was invited back at 7:00 pm..
Seven rolls around, I walk into the production office, and I see the entire cast sitting at a round conference table. My heart hit the floor, everyone looks at me. The Director announces, " This is LaRayia. The last character I've casted." he decided to break the news to me infront of the entire cast..

In my mind, Im like " Holly smokes, , I just got the part, I wanted to kick and scream, but instead I gulp an entire liter of cool! and sit down like I had known all along. :)

We did an entire run though of the film. As time unfolds. I will update with more details.

Im shooting in two weeks in Iowa.
Wish me, good work ethics and blessings.


The difference a day makes. 24 short little hours.

Again.

Lets fall in love again, like the poets once did.

-LaRayia

To say the least.

What a mighty rose, she paints among my face.
I am left mused.
The color of old, the ink of something new.
The gentle I recall,
my blood boils of a fire she has made
A honey thick cool,
I sketch a poets, cliche
To float on clouds, and fly through seas
Red hair curls around such beliefs
In love, its fate thats trickery

You are never too old or young to learn and teach -LaRayia

Lonely is the soul without a mate.

True love never dies, even if you have found a new love,
the sweet memory of the past will continue to hunt you for the rest of your life.

Holding on does not make one strong.
The true strength is in letting go.

Wonderful experience.

My first time ordering their chicken and waffles.
I officially see why people like them. There's cinnamon in the batter.
Slept, like a rock..

Yesterday.

"Its not love to be static as the desert. nor is it to roam the world like the wind. and its not love to see everything in the distance. "



Yesterday : I was dreaming




Today: I woke up.


C: In the midst of love, there will be no confusion.


Took 4 years. Today I get it.

Ascend through loves billowed strain.
delicate as your calamus
Moonbeams bolster her mottled glide
stoutheartedness of diaphanous

I salute such a crimson death

New York is always enchanting when our souls collide.

See you soon.

It is said.

The soul weighs 3oz.

Let me remember you as you were before you existed.

Oil and Water.

As Matthew will have it. (I avoided posting)

This past week, we were onset filming a movie.. 

We met some of the worlds crazies beings. One in which gave us the laughs, to last the entire week (we worked 94 hours, by the way, *wtf*).
 I do not remember her name. But We nicknamed her, oil, and I water. Because for some reason we did not mesh well. 

She was, a woman from Texas. 5 minutes into our greeting (oil)  tells Matthew and I, she was raped and didn't tell anyone for six months, and believes in abortion. 
Keep in mind, she hadn't even given her name, and kept such a secret for six months, and yet told us in five minutes?! hmm.. Strike one. 

The conversation shifted, into a debate on Capital punishment. Oil felt, when a young adult gets life in prison, we should give them all the death penalty because its more cost sufficient. Instead of paying for their well being. 1/2 A strike

(Her view points had me in shock, I politely interrupted and asked, what part of town she currently lives, *so I can avoid this area* Oil, quote on qoute, answers,  "San Berna-ghetto")

LaRayia: Alrighty, moving right along..

Our next conversation, goes right into politics. 
Oil, but of course is a republican, (oh btw, I have yet to meet an intelligent one, so if you fit the bill, send me a message)...
She rants and raves, "Democrats/ the middle class are horrible, non of them want to work, they want everything handed to them, this isn't fair"

*My silent thoughts* Isn't at least 85% of the population the middle class?  and aren't the highest paying jobs usually laborless? 

So, I randomly ask Oil, wait but being that you live in the ghetto, you fall into the category of being eligible for government assistance? 


Oil replied by saying, "well I don't live in the ghetto, its across the street from my house. but my nephew is half black. So I'm not racist"

(I was mistaken, Oil is a bit more cultured than I thought *facetious thought*)

How we moved on, to religion I will never understand. 
(Btw, Matthew is jewish, and I am a spiritual buddhist)

Oil then says, oh by the way. Im hard core Christian. 
Matthew, explodes in laughter shocked by the contradiction in her beliefs. 

Steam begins to escape from Oil's blushing ears. "Whats funny ABOUT THAT?!"

Matthew, "Nothing, nothing at ALL. I believe in god. Good for you too"

Confused, I asked "Do you have any friends?"

Oil says "Yeah, and they are black"

During this part of our conversation, David, comes to join our table.. 
Oil says to him. Aww hi.. We were talking about some of our friends. "Do you want to see a picture of my favorite black guy?"


At this point, Now I am unable to hold in my happy angry laugh. I have had enough. I felt an urge to bring her life to an emotional end. I wanted to commit viper tongue suicide. So I removed myself from her presence. 

*An hour later,* she found herself back, in my bubble.. 

Lolz. Life seems to be testing, my kindness. lolz

Underground..

We went to see them live. Edit was amazing.
