I live to create. Art. Music. Words. Film. Tea. Fangs. Each move into the other, teaching me and inspiring me to be a better human, as I journey through this life; an infinite soul stuffed into a 5' 6" flesh suitcase.
StavrosArts is a portal into my creative works. Whether as Poet 168, Cherokee Starlight, Cup of Love, Vampyre Tea Company, Kaos Kustom Fangs, or simply Stavros, the images, music, craft-works, and words I leave behind are artifacts of how I deal with my relationship with Life.
Poke around. Read. See. Listen. Watch. I'm always working on something. So, If you come across anything you like, please support it. Buy an original painting or photograph, grab a print, or a sticker, purchase a tee shirt; download a song, pick up the CD, drink a tea, or wear some fangs.
New Word Things:
Love. War.
The heart is Not
a battlefield, yet battles
in every Age
raging to Love
fighting to be
allowed to Love
Bodies are immaterial
Sex is immaterial
Age is timeless
Spirit is boundless
Connecting on unforeseen landscapes
of desire to find purchase
and root
grow to fill the sky in our eyes
grope the shape of one another
into whole beings
a wondrous you
a bountiful love
existing in Grace
For Love is Grace
All love is true
All love is faith
Given to the landscape of the heart
A lamp burning against
the fearful dark, It battles
to simply live
to breathe
in each body
and be
what it was always
meant to be
United
in bonds of togetherness
Visible
for all to see
Thriving
for anyone
willing to accept
the Grace
that falls
upon them
Yet vile minds
cloistered in the fearful dark
deprive the heart
of the space to live
define its shape
confine its boundlessness
Wage War
to control the outcome
and scope of desire
pin its Grace to fit
into the smallest contour
that it could possibly
know
So, this is every calling
This is each moment, when love
knocks on your door
asking you
in the quietest voice
to let it live within you
or die
in your cold
hollow
mind
Love. War.
You are the beating heart
You have Grace abound
A battlefield
or breath of life
