QUALM
Cold as ice
her mystic qualm
reserving her love
in absence of sound
entwined feelings
spirit of steel
with frozen emotions
born out of pain
the rules of hope
draw of a card
who can predict
what tomorrow brings?

Quite an intriguing poem! Love the picture!
September 7, 2010 at 5:23 am
Thanks Thys….always smile to see you here. Have a great week my friend x

Enchanting and a little on the dark side of scary, capping it off with the gypsy music. Wow! The song and dance video was as captivating as the poem. The title “Qualm” fit very well with the illustration of the eye pierced by fingers. Another artful fantasy by Amanda. Thank you for sharing.
September 7, 2010 at 9:11 am
A little dark but not in a mean way at all, meant to be “time for introspect”!! I love that song too and happy you enjoyed my friend. xx Hugssss xx
September 7, 2010 at 11:10 am
I know you would never be mean for anything. I didn’t mean it that way either. I meant on the spoooooky side. Very well done.
September 7, 2010 at 12:02 pm
I now my dear friend…it does look spooky though:) Lovies xx
September 7, 2010 at 6:12 am
WOW! thoughtfully sweet. I love the marriage of the title and the body. Perfect match. Nice one, lovely Amanda.
Cheers.
September 7, 2010 at 9:12 am
Thanks Em, so happy you liked the read. Smiles just for you 🙂 🙂 🙂
September 7, 2010 at 7:08 am
The poem and the picture are both quite surreal in nature…I find both thought provoking.
September 7, 2010 at 9:08 am
🙂 It’s meant that way Charles, sometimes we as woman need time with our own thoughts and might seem mysterious, temperamental and exact but it’s a time for introspect which does not always last that long:) :)..Thanks for being here my friend, I value your comments. x
September 7, 2010 at 7:34 am
“spirit of steel” Powerful words. I do like the intensity of your words on this one. I hope all is well. You are doing an amazing job with your blog. Hope you are having fun. Keep us all smiling and keep us all impressed. I am always. 🙂 Stay well and happy. Se sure to smile.
September 7, 2010 at 9:25 am
So happy to see you here….I am very well and send you lots of smiles and love right back!!! Have a happy week my friend xx
September 7, 2010 at 8:16 am
This poem, for some reason, reminded me of the song “She’s always a woman to me”..
So mysterious and magical! Life and we women are quite similar in that way… unpredictable, challenging, awesome and worth living for/with!! What say??! 😉
I LOVED this poem, Amanda.. it is so rich in meaning, and your choice of words and image are so complementary to each other! Amazing!! JUST LIKE YOU!!!
Mwaahh!!! LOVE AND KISSES, my dearest friend..
September 7, 2010 at 9:20 am
Now this is what I mean, for some it might sound dark, but there is nothing dark in my mind when I wrote it…exactly the way you decribed it…we as woman are complex and like you say, unpredictable…and we need time to gather our feeling. Thanks for getting this Kavita. I love you xxxxx
September 7, 2010 at 8:27 am
Very mysterious……..love this!
September 7, 2010 at 9:22 am
Thanks my friend…glad you liked this…have a happy day 🙂

September 7, 2010 at 9:21 am
“spirit of steel with frozen emotions born out of pain” – wow, such a great description of a person. You use such great imagery in your poetry xx

However, I had a chill when seeing some fingers in that eye, lol
September 8, 2010 at 4:01 am
LOL…so many mande a comment on that photo…..muct agree, a bit eeerie, but thought it would go well with the content of the poem. xx
September 7, 2010 at 10:02 am
Holy dooley, that image makes me clutch my delicate eyeballs so that they don’t clunk out of my head! However, I have no such qualms about the excellent prose, Amanda. 😉
September 8, 2010 at 4:02 am
You made me laugh my friend, true…the pic is a bit scary !! Much love dear Tony xx
September 7, 2010 at 10:13 am
She may be Queen of Ice, but we know that ice is very fragile and highly breakable. Thanks, Amanda. Beauty is your spotlight.
September 8, 2010 at 4:03 am
You have said it so beautifully!! Hugs x
September 7, 2010 at 11:30 am
It is a fascinating poem. From the image above it, and through the last line. Mysterious. – Bill
September 8, 2010 at 4:04 am
Thanks Bill, a little scary the picture was but chosen to go with the content of the poem 🙂 ~ Hugs x

Thanks so much Ji, will be over shortly x
September 7, 2010 at 1:26 pm
The ice will melt, but the narrator is taking some time to be her and her alone. Good poem.
Daai oog laat my gril!
September 8, 2010 at 4:07 am
Daai oog het soveel kommentaar gekry!!! Eeekkkkk, chosen to go with the contents of the poem…I should have known better!!! Mwah xx
September 7, 2010 at 3:00 pm
with frozen emotions
born out of pain
Ohh my sweet Amanda how you have channeled something deep with just these two lines. Pain has a tendency to put the recipient in a shock like state freezing everything. You’ve done such a beautiful job with such strong words.
September 8, 2010 at 4:08 am
Now that is the sweetest comment, I always enjoy seeing you here so very much!! Thanks my dear friend, I appreciate it. Have a great day!! Hugs x
September 7, 2010 at 3:07 pm
A bit chilling. Well done, Amanda … the photo is shocking … to me at least. Perfectly matched with the poem. And then “Gypsy” … fine work here.
Hugs! xx
September 8, 2010 at 4:10 am
I should have known better with that picture…eeekkkkk…and you’re right, chosen to go with the poem!! Much love my friend x
September 11, 2010 at 4:08 am
I think it is as it should be …
🙂
September 11, 2010 at 5:54 am
You light my life with your presence. Thank you x
September 7, 2010 at 3:33 pm
I was just talking to friends about Fleetwood Mac and there’s a song!Another great poem, another minute of concentrated thoughts,feelings and emotions…love visiting your blog xx
September 8, 2010 at 4:13 am
Must have read your mind my friend, I’ll be over soon, see you have a new one up!! Lovies to you and have a great week Yvette!! xx
September 7, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Wow, this was very beautifully written. Love the last few lines especially.
The picture is absolutely beautiful. I must ask, do you create these yourself?
September 8, 2010 at 4:17 am
Not all of them but am lucky to have a friend who does creative design and she has given me a CD with so many images on…somtimes I play around with Photoshop…all depends on how much time I have on a specific day! I love different images…always to match the topic of my poem and so does the video! It takes longer to chose all of these than to actually write the poem!! Phewwwwww…trifecta!! Thanks DP….you always say the sweetest things to me and I appreciate it so much!! Hugs for today!! x
September 7, 2010 at 3:57 pm
very intriguing and so true! freaky pic! love it!
September 8, 2010 at 4:19 am
Scary, I know…but thought at the time it matches the poem!! Sorry my friend…thanks for reading anyway!! Hugs x
September 7, 2010 at 4:40 pm
Wow!!! Very nice use of words.
September 8, 2010 at 4:21 am
Thanks Claudia, happy to have you here. Hugs x
September 7, 2010 at 6:57 pm
Beautiful poem, Amanda! Love these words: with frozen emotions
born out of pain. That is how it is! Lovely description… btw the picture gives me the creeps… but it’s probably me!
September 8, 2010 at 4:22 am
So sorry about the pic, it created so much emotion from readers, at the time I thought it to go well with the poem!! Will be more careful next time Adee. Hugs x
September 7, 2010 at 8:30 pm
