"...And they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."  Matthew 1:23  (KJV)

Emmanuel

A.J. Kaufmann is a Polish genre-bender. Weaving folk, noise, and psychedelic rock, he creates a "Strange World" of sound. From heavy riffs to spaced-out soundscapes, his music (albums like "Stoned Gypsy Wanderer") and poetry explore the fringes. Look out for his new single "Ramzes Metamorfozis" and upcoming album on The Swamp Records in December 2024.

Black Forest

Do you know there is a place on the outskirts of town that no one goes near?
Not that there are any ghost stories, but everyone avoids the place.

Let's meet up in the Black Forest.
At the darkest place of there.

Even on a deathly hot summer day, it is said to be much cooler there.
Some people say they saw old shrines or abandoned buildings.

Let's meet up in the Black Forest.
Be careful not to get lost.

We sometimes toy with the notion of an afterlife.
It is not a religion, but a story.

It is said that there are rare insects and high priced plants there.
Anyone from this city must have known about the place since childhood.

Let's meet up in the Black Forest.
At the darkest place of there.

Let's meet up in the Black Forest.
Be careful not to get lost.

Do you know how to get there?

Black Forest

The only symbol or Emoji I used before becoming active on social media was the heart and happy face.  I have since expanded my knowledge at least 500%! However, I would rather write or say what I'm feeling, and I don't like the guessing game when texting with others.  BUT, I do have a favorite Emoji, Sparkles!  I love the overarching meaning of celebration, excitement, joy, happiness, love of life, and gratitude.  I also love pairing sparkles with the heart (my second favorite Emoji) to mean a deeper feeling of admiration and love.  When I started to create this piece, the tones and melody sparkled with shimmering magic.  The style of Impressionism is just that! I hope you love the sparkle too!

When we go to other worlds (L.V.)

Where's 
the beginning  
When it's all 
forgotten by 
Time 
has no meaning
Day by day 
there is only
Now 
the same feeling
Can't be washed off 
the water's so
Dark 
skies are dreaming
The oceans's cold 
and forever
Alive

Every single day
Every single glance
I went back to the same place
like a little man
caught up in his thoughts
I saw the beam come towards you
do not stop Now
