Final Cover (1)

The blessings of the Almighty, the rays of the sun and the collaboration of the moon to beautify the scene are magnanimous. I am ecstatic to announce the birth of my baby – THE MURDER IN DESERT INN – my first published novel.

The silhouette of my castle in Spain had come to terms in reflection on the days that I was not writing. Too long ago, since I inscribed the book that was not published because I moved to another continent. My manuscript had been lost when all my belongings were put into the box and somehow disappeared. It was a fiction set in the ’70s of the experiences that I went through as a teenager. Living in a place far from the city where I was born and moulded, my life diverted to a different pathos. My status had changed and my conglomeration to a different culture emerged. My love for writing forgotten as I put it in the Pandora box unknowingly. To my exacting, many moons and suns passed by my indexes without me noticing as I was jubilant of the days being with my two adorable children. Would I be a mother if my first manuscript had been published? The best achievement ever in my life – needed and wanted by my neonates. Their sounding calls were the music to my ears. Their laughter and joys were the glee of my heart. Their weeping became the bombardment of chaos in my soul – I am needed and wanted to make them resonate in resounding bliss in the realm of Peter Pan in the Neverland. As I recount, my Chronicle has meanings and reasons for me to curve my road. Thus, my passion for writing went for an extended period of being dormant. In my conjuration and complete affliction, the rationale: to savour the boulevard of Nirvana as I toddle along each and every day of the splendid jiffy that became my sphere – Zion at its best. In the summation of my persona, I open myself to the Universe. Ergo, my Rhapsody, in my hand, fitted to the nanoscale event up to the whopping episode of my life.

As my children grow, my hands started to lose the grasp. Someday, I am not needed anymore to nurture and lead my offspring to the path to Euphoria. My daughter and son will have their lives and for that matter, I will go back to where I started – Myself. Regardless of whether I have someone I love beside me, the moment of pleasure with my babies were the most rewarding of them all. For the caress of my spirit, I have brought up the two beautiful creatures in this world.

To the tangibility that the rotation of the earth on its axis will revolutionise to the movement of the Universe, in my aloneness, my Pandora box opened and the paragons glimmered to the summit of its brightness. My fingers fiddled my pen to inscribe my feelings. My thoughts did not deliberate not even a second but only to escalate, for the moment had come for me to write again. My convalescent heart commanded that my faculty of mind must go back to the arena that I nourished when I was young – Creative Writing.

The Murder in Desert Inn was born in the desert of Western Australia. The beautiful waterless land is my friend and ally – my utmost inspiration to the world of my surreal realism. For in my totality – the desert is an absolute gem – a mammon ground that helped me go back to my sphere.

THE MIRROR

It was 1998 when I first set my foot to the city of love and romance, Paris. I travelled with my two children in a freezing weather although it was one of those winters that were not icy at all. The train ride from Zurich to Paris was not long; we were in the marvellous city after five hours. My children and I stayed near Sacre Coeur. So, every day, we commuted to Paris for half an hour and stayed there the whole day; going back to Montparnasse when we were just about to go to bed.

I so wanted to go to the house of Victor Hugo. One morning, I decided to bring my kids to Bastille. As we were about to walk to Place des Vosges, the rain poured and my children and I ended up in Lafayette, shopping. The second time I went to Paris was 2008 and again wanted to go where the author of Les Miserable spent his life writing. But for some reason, I was not able to go again. However, wintertime 2014, I told myself, rain or shine; Place des Vosges, here I come.

I arrived in the house of Victor Hugo nearly 3:00 o’clock in the afternoon. It was not really far from Champs-Elysees where I was staying. The entrance was free and there were only a few people waiting in the queue.

Living in a tropical place for a long time, even with the slight climb of temperature; it was glacial to me. However, the stone walls of the building had kept its warmth and my thick coat gave me unbearable discomfort; I took it off. As I approached the kindest lady that I ever met in Paris, I smiled gently. She handed me some brochures; I walked my way through to the stairs with excitement. It was a big house, actually.

On the first part of the stairway, there was a portrait of the master. The lady standing near the ingress was kind enough to take my photo. My heart was jumping euphorically as I entered the house; silence in the air as I toddled inside. One particular object which caught my attention was the mirror. Due to its oldness; the lustre had been lost. As I scrutinised the antiquity of the mirror; it had given me the creeps as if a wind gushed my face. It was spooky, really. Then, I stared at the portrait of the author of Les Miserable, I felt like I went back in time. To touch the objects that Victor Hugo owned was surreal. In the arena of my tangibility of that moment, to get the grasp of stepping my foot on the floor where Victor Hugo stood was a real delight.

One of my flight of fancy had come true: to see the house of Victor Hugo after envisioning it for a long time. Well and truly: it was magic.

THE JOY

BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE

 

The reverie of my youth is a splendid realm;

myth like — a saga in Wonderland;

with the fairies all around.

 

The euphoric twinkling as I promenade the

byway; with my mother all triumphal

as I walk — with such flare.

She is shouting with joy as I do my first few

steps; crying with tears of glee when

I continue to paddle my glare.

 

When I talk, she patiently listens to my

stuttering voice, so to tell, that is so!

Mama graciously — corrected

each phrase with the leer. One sunny day,

the laughter of my mum dominates

in the air; when she sees me

 

eating with the kitten in my room very dear.

As I feed the creature in my own

little hands; mama gladly

whispers, you are the kitten’s mummy just like me.

As I move to my path; my mother is there all

along. In my lows, she will

 

console me with such grace and poise. When I

triumph, she celebrates and regards all

my blessing from High Above.

My mother is such a star that will outdo all the

Hollywood stars.  The constellation will agree

without a doubt.

 

Mama, I adore you with all my totality.

Heart – soul – spirit; shout from the core;

I will love you — forever and

beyond.

gems, land, lane, Paris

Christmas of 2015 had passed by, and each of us has the memories to cherish. This year is another special one, I stay put in Cairns; went to church, had Christmas lunch and accumulated the best bonding with few members of my family and friends. Like any household, food and drinks overflow; laughter and festive moods dominated the scene. In 2014, I spent Christmas in the city of romance and love, Paris, France. I was doing my research that time. Oblivious to my flight, I was staying beside the Dominican Monastery; covered by another building. A place in Paris not many tourists would go. I attended the Midnight Mass; it became the highlight of my travel. The beautiful voices of the priests as they sang; I felt like lifted to heaven. The songs from heaven gave me so much inspiration. After attending the mass, I inscribed this poem of which I posted January of 2015. DSCN2323

THE WINTER WIND

BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE

As the winter winds caress my very hands

Without gloves, so to speak numbs my very francs

The withered leaves fall to the spirit of my charms

To the joy of my spine in the hush of the vine

Although the lips in the grove nowhere to be found

Nevertheless the landscape of Paris; very grand to the curb

The lights on the Avenue of Champs-Elysees sparkle to the moon

Misty eyes overflow with river of flowing in tune

No upheavals to the just of my soul as I prance

Precipitation of the rain passing  by

Like gems from the shadow of the Dame

Mammon lands in the jostling of the narrow lane

The meadows gleam to the elitist in the gist of the realm

THE SUBWAY

BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE

In the busy moment on the train;
As I watch different faces of the day.
I begin to see a subtle man eye to eye;
Smiles cluster on my cheeks very shy.

The glow in his eyes speaks with tune.
Hummingbirds suddenly appear on the rail.
I then jostle the haggler in my heart;
Lips of mine beaten by the teeth every grain.

In the glimpses of the contouring curbs;
As I stand, all my body trembles down.
The nearby station is so near yet so bland.
I then hope this handsome man shall go down.

Oh! My gosh, I am sure that my heart jumps like a child.
I realise that in every corner of the station is bright.
As the light of the sun blinds my eyes;
Sparkling with brilliance; never stops as I pass by.

Morning is foaming bubbles in the sky.
As I walk in the pathway of the street;
Someone holds my elbow on my right.
I almost jump with fear very scared.

The gorgeous man in the subway is in my sight;
Giving me the book that fell down from my lap!

MOTHER

By: VIRGINIA CLOSE

I haven’t met you; but, I can feel you.
In every breath that you are taking;
I take the air with the scent of fresh flowers.
You feed me; because I am always hungry.

Even though, you are sleeping; you dream of me.
You carry me for many months with no complaining.
The life you give me is from love everlasting.
After many months of sleepless nights,

You are tired and utterly weary.

But in your heart, you are excited to see me.
Today, I meet you; In my mind, you are angry.
You are crying as you hold me; but, you are

kissing me as if you don’t want to release me.
Your whispers make me cool; you are saying,
I love you, baby; you are so beautiful.
With all of me, I will never cease to love you;

For you are the gift from High Above
A mother’s love is very pure!
Untarnished through the test of time.
As I was born, my mama was born too.

Not as a baby but as my mummy;
With unselfish needs to carry through.
If children are the gift from God;
A mother is the gift of God to humankind.

‘HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, EVERYONE!’

066MEMORIES

BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE

Thinking of the hours, you used to smile;

lovely thoughts will remain untouched.

Gone is the minute you kiss my soul;

memories remain just in my book.

What happens next is storm that do not stop;

thunder broke the mirror shattered the plot.

Rainbow, please? Come to make me bright.

The hope had turned off; the light of day appears

in the blink of my eye.

Now, my heart trusts the heaven up high.

I know, it is hard for me to reach the sky when

my life runs out of flight; but, I must try.

The love of you will keep me going;

the memories of you I will cherish and keep

in my heart;

forever and beyond in eternal height.

A mother’s love is pure

VICTORIA

By: Virginia Close

The moment of waiting jumps my soul with excite!

My spirit elevates right through in the sky.

I am going to meet the human being;

that comes from my vine.

The beautiful girl with diamond in her heart;

I named her Victoria so charming and grand.

The tenderly feeling as she smiles back with shine.

The little fingers I hold with care as I proclaim;

I LOVE YOU MY BABY GIRL!

 The love both awaits us in the world that is bless.

My daughter Victoria is the very best!

 MY HEART TO YOUR HEART,

MY SWEET CHILD.
