Lighthouse - Free Verse by Belinda Elkaim

"Lighthouse" - Free verse by Belinda Elkaime

Behind the iron masks are porcelain faces of flesh and blood,
However feelingless, drowning in a sea of alluring flood.
We sink defenselessly and helplessly in such ill fated trust,
But tell me, what constitutes our deservance of such incomprehensible mess, as one by one our souls erupt.
Are we all contaminated and hearts corrupt?
Or are we defiant towards goodness and all things as such?

Lighthouse .. should we ever wander too far off path in pitch black darkness, would you remember us, would you look for us and shine your light ever so brilliantly and lovingly, so we can see you, feel you and follow you home to a safe haven, where you will harbor us and nurture us back to that one happy moment, where we left off some time ago.

Please don't let us drown in our own fear and insecurities. If we must, may we immerse in nothing but the profound depths of new found joy and love.

- Written in a REM state of my sleep. Literally.

Cheers To Happiness In Abundance. (Belinda Elkaim)

 Cheers ... to happiness, lots and lots of it  Thanking the Universe for all the blessings (and blessings in disguise) that have been sent my way. Thankful for an amazing past, a fabulous present and a spectacular future.

One And Only - Belinda Elkaim

 [ One And Only ]  

When you gaze upon the starry night and admire the full moon round and bright, think of me as I will of you. 

Though miles away and dreams apart, the ever so flirtatious moon bridges the distance that gaps our bodies. Hanging alluringly above enchanting heights is the beloved one and only, cradling and loving us through an endless ocean of restless sleepless nights. 

Should you find yourself in melancholy amidst delicate silence, think of me, as I will of you. 

A Moment In Time - Belinda Elkaim

 [ A Moment In Time ]  

It's about the soft yet dramatic feel and the intensity of the mood. It's about capturing a moment in time ... it's about an emotion that may not be encased within the conformity of any language. It's about the depths of the heart that can only be felt and may never be adequately conveyed. Those are the moments that render us speechless, and quite possibly, those are the moments that will be forever inscribed in the crevices of our beautiful minds. 

The Universe Works In Mysterious Ways

The Universe works in mysterious ways and only those who believe will win.  Take those Leaps Of Faith and be pleasantly surprised with the new heights that you can reach.  Have faith. :-)

Doing The Right Things - Belinda Elkaim

I keep telling everyone, "Do the right things or don't do it." Well, made a mistake? Fix it before it's too late. Don't let a problem brew into one irreversible mess that will haunt you for the rest of your life. Fix it now. 

Belinda Elkaim, as quoted in Brickell Magazine October issue.

Good Karma ... Belinda Elkaim

May good Karma continue to orbit around us ..... Keep doing what you do with a pure heart and with good intentions, enjoy the process of 'JUST DO', relax, believe, have faith .... Worry not and expect nothing, then POW, good karma returns like a giant boomerang 

** I BELIEVE I BELIEVE I BELIEVE ** TO HAPPINESS AND RADIANT SMILES :-)

Sincerity [Belinda Elkaim]

SINCERITY - sad to witness its massacre. Can modernity preserve a level of leniency towards traditional virtues? Foremost, please keep HONESTY alive. 

Belinda Elkaim - An Unforgettable Night At Villa Vecchia

By common disbelief, I am a rather private person who do not regularly attend parties unless I have reasons to. But after enduring a twenty eight days recovery from a heart shattering trauma, I was more than ready to leave the pain behind, 'Flip The Switch' and to step out as my newly re-correlated self.

Cultural and artistic at heart, art galleries, museums and historical landmarks are among my favorite destinations and when Jen suggested we accept the invitation to a party at Villa Vecchia, my first thoughts were the beautiful architectural elements of this monumental construction. If not for the company, I was going for the ambiance and the atmosphere.

As soon as I stepped onto the red carpet at the dock, I immediately felt liberated and as if my entire being was immersed into the energy of the night, I felt free and truly content. At precisely that instant came a moment of revelation, thereon, my attention would only be spent on the lucky and deserving.

The glamour of the evening needs no elaboration but one thing I do have to literate, that evening marked a milestone of my own character development. While sipping the last drop of my third flute of champagne, a mysteriously attractive stranger entered into my life and made me realize, that my life path has altered course and many things are reshaping like the ever changing patterns of the kaleidoscope.

In more ways than one, the evening at Villa Vecchia has inspired many positive changes in my meandering mind, and I'm ecstatic to welcome in the exciting pleasantries of the foreseeable unknown.

Belinda Elkaim - Perpetuity.

Perpetuity is something that can be passed on from generation to generation; notwithstanding space and time, in itself, a thing that never decays, decomposes or deceases. I am fortunate to have found my perpetuity in literature.

[ Excerpt from Chapter Ten ]

"......Keith points to the poster in the display window and reads the words out loud. “Nice poster. I like the captioning, ‘Let Love Lead The Way.’ Brilliant.” He smiles and tries to ignite a conversation. Seeing her lack of response, he adds, “Oh I get it, you’re still mad at me aren’t you?”

Impatiently, Karina taps her feet on the floor and remains unspoken. She waits for him to give up so she can continue shopping and gazes up at the cotton candy clouds floating in the effervescent blue sky.

Sensing her indifference, he assures her of his innocent intent. “Well, I’m no longer undercover. The case on Risso is closed and I am not on duty. I have nothing to hide anymore. Can I have one chance to show you who I really am? Please?” He begs, “You might like the real Keith Pelzer. Just give me one chance.” He tries to engage her enthusiasm.

Karina’s love life has been vacant and uninteresting for months and frankly she could use some distraction. Swiftly she changes her mind and acts mischievously to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Flirtatiously she smiles and in the most sensual way, she inches closely and reciprocates his gaze, “That’s unfortunate.” She speaks alluringly with her lusciously glossed lips dangerously close to his and continues teasing him,

“Now that you have nothing to hide, I still cannot see you because I might be the one with something to hide.”

"FALLEN - The 4th Angel" by Belinda Elkaim. Coming Fall 2013.

PROLOGUE OF "FALLEN - The 4th Angel" - A Romance Thriller by Belinda Elkaim(c) 2013 Ovation Publications. All Rights Reserved. Coming Fall 2013.  www.amazon.com/author/belindaelkaim 

[ On the shoulders of the '4th Angel' is a dark forbidden love - a Secret Society - a Code that has tenuously segregated the world for centuries. Can the perfected formula in molecular morphology resolve the upheaval between the pure and contaminated? .... For the first time, science and faith stand on an unanimous front against those who uncanningly plot for monopolized gains. Resolvance is in the hands of the "4th Angel" who has unfaithfully 'Fallen' into the traps of deceit, now who is there to save him? ]

EXCERPT from "Fallen - The 4th Angel":

"Hiding inside the safe room of his laboratory, Tatiana is clinging onto her father's leg and is trembling at the deafening sounds of a massive chain explosion coming from above. She screams in fright as the floors and walls begin to rumble and she fears that the ceiling might crumble upon them at any given moment. Crying hysterically, she bends her head while shivering and stares into her father's worn out leather shoes.

"Tatiana" her father tightens his fists in anticipation of the worse moment to arrive, "Tatiana" he repeatedly calls out her name but she has become non responsive. Her eyes are opened wide and her focus remains fixated on his shoes, breathing heavily her lips part to gasp for the rapidly dissipating air. She hears another explosion and shuts her eyes as tightly as she could and chants to herself, "this is only bad dream, this is only a bad dream ..wake up, wake up, wake up!" she mumbles as she prays.

Realizing that his daughter is in shock, he bends down on his knees and lifts her head so she can see him. Time is running out and he knows he must act quickly. "Tatiana, listen to me," he shakes her vigorously to disturb her absence "listen to me!" he commands, pries open her closed fist and slips a pendant onto her palm, closing her hand into a fist again he engages her stare and speaks solemnly "hang on tight to this pendant and never lose it, in case we get separated, this will be our only link and just remember" he continues bravely and watches her cry, "whatever happens to us today, do NOT lose this. It is our lifeline."

They hear gunshots followed by the screaming of voices; she hears two men screaming at each other in an oddly bizarre sounding and unfamiliar language. She watches her father pull to a stand and begs him, "daddy please don't leave me, please don't leave me here all by myself!" With tears in his eyes he looks down at his daughter, "I will never leave you Tatiana; just remember, never lose this pendant and guard it with your life!"

Shots are fired at the door of the safe room and startles Tatiana to scream again. At this devastating moment her father shouts at the men behind the door, "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! There is a child in here .. I am opening up the door. Don't shoot!" Her father begins to move towards the door; Tatiana refuses to let go of his leg and clings on to him with eyes shut tight. At merely twelve years of age, the disturbance is beyond her comprehension. Her heart is pounding and is about to burst out of her chest, her ears are hurting from the piercing explosions and she is traumatized.

The only thing she is capable of doing at this moment, is to keep her fist as tightly held as possible so she does not lose the pendant that her father is entrusting her with .....


***********

[ Sixteen Years Later .... an oddly unusual 'coincident' merges Tatiana and Abdul's paths.]

"The dreamiest puffs of white cotton candy clouds afloat the sweet tranquil sky. Harmoniously, the silver moon hangs joyously to serenade the silent whispers of the gentle breeze as the observing palms sway playfully to reflect the dazzle of its aura.

A delectable urge fills the air and it is obvious that he has fallen for the wildest fantasy of her touch, her luscious lips that parts to angle perfectly on the nape of his neck and imaginably, everything else that she might be capable of doing for him. She is no more than a stranger to him but in her mysterious ways, she provokes his desire to entangle her with all his affection and to shower her with his insatiable need of conquest.

He can hear the sounds of a symphony playing in his mind as he watches the strands of her hair floating in the warm summer breeze. The visual is impeccably perfect and if she knows how desperately he wants her at this moment, she might give in to the irresistible danger of falling for someone like him. She should know better but yet, she is magnetized and captivated by his obvious lust for her .........

.......Fatally attracted to each other, the only thing she knows about him is that he is from Morocco. The only thing he wants to know about her, is the whereabouts of her father and he is ready to do whatever it takes to pry for intelligence from this beautiful enigma with selective mutism..."
