Free fall into exuberance

Early eveningCan you sing the sun down for me  You beautiful musician  so I can at last lay eyes  upon more subtle lights?   
Can you summon all the stars for me  You beautiful magician  So I can breathe the night-air  And feel wide awake once more?   
Then we will dance and talk and laugh  And form a perfect composition  In the painter's masterwork   
Will you rock the day to sleep? says she  You perfect definition  Of what living means to me Early evening

Those little lightsThey've been overused in poetry  But I have not the heart  To break the cliché when at night  I look up at the stars  and see   
Such beauty. Those little lights
by ~Almeruve
Marianne, I fearMarianne,  They're screaming in the hallways every night  At the end of my strength  I can no longer even cry myself to sleep   
The rain, it soaks me to my broken bones  The sun, it burns my wounded skin  I'm cold but they are colder  Their ice blue eyes are made of hate  The sky is dark with fear tonight  Please get me out of here   
Broken bodies, dark-rimmed eyes  Every  day  deceit and Lies  Every number carries stories  I no longer want to hear   
The others will not let me die  It would be easier, but I  Though I am young, Marianne, I fear

SchizophreniaThe wolf has eaten its way into your mind  What a beautiful creature  It made a home in there and guards your waking dreams   
When you try to ignore his unholy presence  
Its breath in your lungs  Its blood in your veins  He howls at your mooneyes  And gnaws on the bones of your happiness  He celebrates your fear  And you know he will never leave   
We call it hallucination  But you left your dreams a long time ago  And started living  It’s all real to you   
A devil in disguise, no delusion  Reality distorted  Perception disturbed  He dr Schizophrenia

PW's video for Damaris is out!

Mon Nov 9, 2009, 12:06 PM
The holidays are over, I haven't posted one journal here, but maybe I'll give you some news soon. Everything's goijng fine here :)

But now what I wrote this journal for: Patrick Wolf's new video for 'Damaris' (one of my favorite songs) is out! Now I can finally listen to the song again, I forbade myself to do so until the video was out so I could enjoy it as much as possible when I watched it for the first time. And I enjoyed listening to it again so much! :love: Here it is [link]

It has some really beautiful images (the video, not the song, reminds me of Wuthering Heights a little, where Heaithcliff kisses Cathy's bones and thinks she's still the way she used to be), though I also have a lot of critiques I could give it. This guy is a storyteller, and this is one of his best stories, but I would have liked to see more emotion in it, especially from the girl's side. She's DAMARIS for God's sake! But I enjoyed it nonetheless :)

Oh, I also wrote a song today, about a character in a beautiful book I'm reading now, Rose Tremain's Music&Silence. I'll post it (hopefully with music included) when it's finished. And maybe you'll also get to hear my song "The other side of the world" soon. The basics for it have been finished for a few months but I'm quite sghy about it.

Big hugs,

Alme

I'm Annelies, but you can call me Alme if you want :) I'm seventeen years old, have only been drawing since about 2 years and I've almost had no time for it the last year, so my art is not very good yet. I do hope you enjoy browsing my gallery though, and if you want, you can give me some critiques or comments, I would really appreciate that :) Listening to advice + experimenting + practise is the way forward, I heard :D

I'm part of the Young Explorers Program, a 4-year around-the-world expedition by Mike Horn (a professional explorer and a great man who did incredile things). That means I've been on an expedition with him (I was selected to go to New Zealand, Fiordland :heart: where this picture was taken in the rainforest) and that I'm now an ambassador of this earth. If you have any ideas for biodiversity, water and community projects but you don't know how to make them happen, you can always send me a note and I'll see if I can help. With the support of the Mike Horn team and Mike himself we can really change something in the world. For the better :) www. mikehorn. com and http:// yep. mikehorn. com for the YEP community website.

I have a rabbit sanctuary at home (Konijnenopvang De Notelaar). Sick, wounded or abandoned rabbits are brought to me, I make sure they get better, and then I try to find them the perfect new home. I started this when I was 14 and saw there was a need for it, but after doing it on my own for a few years I became part of Jodipro, a bigger organisation with other great animal lovers. We now do different projects concerning the well-being of animals, but my main concern there is still the rabbits. http:// denotelaar. webs .com (Dutch site) and www.jodipro .be (Dutch site)

I love the great outdoors, the Scottish highlands, art in all forms, horses, nature in general, good tales (books, movies, ...), folk music and the atmosphere around it (and all the wonderful people!), my Irish flute, camping and especially campfires, long hikes, and I love my sports: Kayaking and canoeing, horseback riding and archery. What I love most is my pony, Hildir, of which you can find pictures in my gallery :heart:

My dreams for the future include playing woodwhistle, pipes, baritone ukelele and hurdy-gurdy (I need an instrument with which I can smile while playing it, that's nigh impossible with a flute), becoming a wilderness guide, a photographer or theatre director, becoming a better artist, studying abroad, finishing the stories I'm writing (Spoiled, Rebelling hearts, and Marshland tales), publishing my own art- and poetry book, work out projects for the Mike Horn team and more. I don't know yet which one of these will come true, but hopefully they all will :)
