fervent longing

exudes my soul

like jaded birds

enervated

on wings of thought

my body devour

with riotous passion

reflected

in “blueprint”

inside

the tired rooms

of my heart

as I brush away

the musty haze

filling lacuna

and a new verse

take shape

in duet

with

my ode

an arduous drop

a flutter of hope

eternal riven

of promise?

Waiting for the light of day

lingering in spaces I can’t fill

innocence in time was lost

as I wait in patience

***

eternal stillness

the crimson light

of a newborn day

joie de vivre in

every breath I take

treading footsteps

echo the sound

of silent innuendos

as thoughts fly away

like nectar dripping

invading my senses

where muses play

I’ll write you a verse

and softly whisper

“come play”

Contours of my soul

Posted in Belief, Dreams, Emotions, Hope, Life, Memories, Musings, Passion, Poem, POETRY, Random, Reflections, Spirituality, Thoughts on February 4, 2011 by Mandy

our silhouettes

just

contours

parallel profiles

casting shadows

on a barren wall

and in my dreams

I try to shape

figments

of you and me

now an illusion

slowly fading

turning to ashes

in the memory

of my soul

where I embrace

fate’s devoir

awaiting that melody

“euphoria of love”…

Silent wings

Posted in Belief, chains, Closure, cosmos, Death, Dreams, Dying love, Emotions, Keep love alive, Life, Memories, Pain, Poem, POETRY, Tears on January 19, 2011 by Mandy

musings of emotions

of fervor and love

unpropitious moments

and the cosmos cracks

unlock the chains

deep within my soul

for closure has no music

no notion in its path

a new dawn arrives

as it lingers in lacuna

no rainbows in orbit

just an empty melody

bearing on the wings

of a withered butterfly

convoluted maze

tears mixed with mud and blood

dwindled in the dust

Every Passing Day

Just a quick update of what’s been happening after the horrendous floods from last week. Many homes are still without power and the truth of the damage is coming to light more and more as the water levels recede. However, the spirit of the Australian people is just unbelievable, this past weekend people came from all over Australia and New Zealand to help with the cleanup… an army of big-hearted volunteers shouldering brooms, mops and shovels began digging and sweeping Brisbane and surroundings out of the mud. In a remarkable display of community love and spirit, so many signed on for duty, ready to just bend their backs to help fellow residents (mates) reclaim their homes and waterlogged possessions from the sludge left behind by the worst floods ever. This brought tears to my eyes … something I will never forget!!!

There are many people who did wonderful heroic and courageous things during and after the floods, but there are many who did things that meant a lot more and might not be recognised. To them we all say thank you!!

This wildlife warrior risked his life to rescue this injured little joey…(I am happy to say this one made it…many did not)

We all are humbled by the love, spirit and courage Queenslanders have for each other in these difficult times…and proud to be one of them!!!!

*Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.* ~Ralph Waldo Emerson (http://www.quotegarden.com/)

MY COUNTRY

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror –
The wide brown land for me!

Core of my heart, my country!
Land of the Rainbow Gold,
For flood and fire and famine,
She pays us back threefold –
Over the thirsty paddocks,
Watch, after many days,
The filmy veil of greenness
That thickens as we gaze.
