The Silence

 

In the spaces

between the silence 

of words unspoken

I look for a sign,

a word, a whisper

The warmth of memories

now blurred

but moments longed for

Some kindness

given, renewed

to fill the emptiness

and find comfort

since all hope

has now sadly

spilled from my heart...

Susana Soca

With lingering love she gazed at the dispersed
Colors of dusk. It pleased her utterly
to lose herself in the complex melody
or in the curious life to be found in verse.
lt was not the primal red but rather grays
that spun the fine thread of her destiny,
for the nicest distinctions and all spent
in waverings, ambiguities, delays.
Lacking the nerve to tread this treacherous
Labyrinth, she looked in on, whom without,
the shapes, the turbulence, the striving rout,
(Like the other lady of the looking glass.)
The gods that dwell too far away for prayer
abandoned her to the final tiger, Fire. 

Jorge Luis Borges : 1899 - 1986

Meadow Dreaming

As my thoughts carry me
Over drifts of white flowers
I am in dreams of white spaces
And colours softened
Floating on the wings of the breeze
Its silence interrupted only
By the soft brush of foliage
The song of the meadow
Its fragrance pure
Petals uplifted and falling slowly
Like confetti streams
My heart enclosed ...

Breathe Me

The video I was hoping to paste is below but embedding is not permitted now. I tried to link it here but it did not work. Don't worry I am ok today, still  hurt but not hurting myself. I just love this song and the video clip of Elizabeth and Darcy from Pride and Prejudice.

Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And the worst part is there's no one else to blame
Be my friend

Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

An Explanation

Some of you have kindly left messages and e-mails asking if I am OK since I have not posted anything here and have not visited some of your blogs. Thank you for that kindness.
I am sad and have been unwell for some time since I have lost the friendship of someone I cared for deeply. I don't know why this has happened but it has affected me profoundly. 
There was no Goodbye. Something I did, something I said, something I neglected to say, perhaps I was too outspoken, perhaps a misunderstanding...surely nothing said that was worth ending a friendship of five years? ... I am still trying to understand what has happened.

In recent weeks I have come very close to deleting this blog a number of times as it seemed to have no relevance any more. It does hold many memories for me, mostly happy but some sadness as well. Many of the poems were written for this friend, I thought he would always be my friend but one cannot be too sure of anything it would seem.
Most of my prose and poems and many of the images only exist here, yes, I have some poems written in my journal but not all of them. It would be no great loss if some of my dreary poems went but when it came to deleting my entire blog I could not destroy all of my poems and prose, many of those words I have written are so much a part of me, a part of my memories, whether happy or sad. 
I could not destroy all of your wonderful comments and encouragement you have left for me. One of my friends Foamy, has been with me from the very beginning, way back to August, 2008 when this journey began. Some friends from then have come and gone, others stop by occasionally and I have been so fortunate to have been found by all of my new friends/followers along the way...especially Elia, Leovi and Juan who never fail to visit me almost every day. I thank you all for your wonderful comments, messages and most of all your friendship. Please bear with me a little longer, I hope to be back soon, once I get my heart and head back to some kind of normality.

Sincerely, Dianne ...  ♡
