BELINDA SAVILLE: Heavenly Creature

Poetry, Submissions, Touching, , , ,

Prepare yourself, warn the books and the midwives; they will not look as you expect.
My body breaks.
Ours cries, harmonious.
Your eyes see me for the first time.
And you, pulled from my dreams and painted true.
Breathtaking.
Resplendent.
My Sun.
I glow, blessed to bask in your light.

Belinda’s daughter/muse/editor asked why she always writes sad stories. So she wrote something happy, for her, with love. 16 years after their eyes first met, she remains the most beautiful thing Belinda has ever seen.

BELINDA SAVILLE: Pivot

Artistic, Submissions, , , , ,

I furnish a trail of breadcrumbs, teardrops on pavement, as we leave the psychologist’s office.

“Your son has autism.”

Your tiny hand finds mine as we walk, my mind somersaulting over what our life will look like now.

“Mum, can I get a milkshake?”

Nothing changed.

Everything changed.

Belinda Saville is a Sydney-based jeweller who started writing to help her teenage daughter with high school English and find the joy therein. She is infatuated with the inherent beauty of gemstones, and of the written word.
