The stories within Lovecontu Song de Light Lovecontu
connect, unfold, interweave many character’s stories
needs, feelings, desires, dreams

all of you entered my world as dawn’s awakening sky of soft palette
my garnet heart melted in iridescence to bloom in sun’s rays
glow in night’s depth as the stars echo the rhythm of my heart
my insides sigh and expand in delight
harmonious blend as our lives
circle the melody
caresses around
as a cocoon of soft cashmere
accompanied by sweet aroma
allures to intimate nearness
remains a velvet kiss

Tell us about yourself.
It’s been wonderful to connect with Eileen,
and I appreciate the opportunity to share more about what I do with all of
you. Since my bio is already provided, I
thought I would expand upon some of what touches me that in one form, or
another finds its way into my writing.
The following words are part of the textures
that are included in a poem I wrote several years ago
….A
lake rests among majestic hills
And
reflects the tranquil place of my mind…
These words, when I read them now remind me of
times when I’ve been hiking in the mountains, and the clouds, fog and mist are
resting below my feet, and gathered in a way that somehow looks like a calm
body of water is nestled within the mountain range.
I find nature’s unique moments so fascinating
and inspirational. Sometimes, tears like
waterfalls come from the well inside of me that is unknown, but felt.

A
hamster to and fro
One corner to the next
Faster and faster with each step
Blind to what’s around it
Now bruised every which way
Oh, actually, that’s how I’m feeling
A
breeze, melodic in pace
Caresses around me
As a cocoon of soft cashmere
Oh, actually, that’s how I’m feeling
Jackhammer
blasts through the air
Ricocheting past every decibel level
Breaking glass splinters to the ground
Immeasurable chaos
Oh,
actually, that’s how I’m feeling
Smooth
luxury blesses my tongue
Sprinkles with surprises of heaven
As nature’s bounty moves in celebration through my body
Oh,
actually, that’s how I’m feeling
Honeysuckle
saunters in through the screen
To remind me of spring
Accompanied by daffodils sweet aroma
With a promise of what is to come
Oh,
actually, that’s how I’m feeling
Feelings
to experience,
To allow,
To decode
Feelings
as reminders of being alive
And under them all
Hear spirit’s whisper,
“I care about you”
“I care
about you.”

Caresses around me
As a cocoon of soft cashmere
What advice would you give a beginner?
Something that helps me when I am staring at the center of uncertainty is to re-read, and re-read good reviews of my books. They can be like blankets of reminders to continue writing.
This collection of poetry is a summary of my selected
poems that I wrote for many years. I hope that you enjoy reading them
as much as I enjoyed writing them. In this collection of poetry are
collected all of my feelings that I want to share with you through verse.
“The Child of Happiness, by S.V. Cobets, is a
beautiful poetry collection that reaches deep into the soul. Though
the author’s native language is Croatian and not English, the
emotional depth of each poem comes across clearly and will be
relatable across cultures. Sensual and light with themes of nature &
love, yet also tinged with feelings of sadness and darker themes of
heartache, pain, loss, & the casualties of war – there were many
poems that spoke to my heart.”
Stjepan Varesevac-Cobets was born on 12 September 1965 in Split, Croatia. He
lives and works in Kastel Sucurac, where he finished his elementary
and secondary schooling.
At a very young age, he started reading and loved it because, through
books, he traveled to places he could never visit in person. As a
child, he loved fairy tales and adventure but later discovered other
genres. When he found a Jules Verne book in the library, he became
fascinated by science fiction. He has been writing poetry for fifteen
years and has started writing science fiction. Lately, he has also
written children’s fairy tales and fables.
He has published, in Croatia, “An Opened Heart” in 2002, “The
Sleepy Way” in 2005, and “Love” in 2006. On Amazon he
has published the poetry collections “The Child of Happiness”
in 2015, science fiction novel “Godeena” in 2015, the
science fiction short story “Butterfly” in 2016, the poetry
collection “When the moon takes over the dream: Love Poetry”
in 2016, and in 2017 the poetry collection “The Flaming Horses:
Collection of poetry”. He also translated his new Sci-Fi novel
“The Dream of the Forest”.
I’ve got a poem called Take a Moment and it is about rushing around dealing with the chaos of daily life but remembering to stop and take a moment to enjoy what is and what you have. I’ve been feeling very unproductive when it comes to my writing. I know I’ve been writing up a storm but for some reason I’m not feeling like I’m accomplishing all that I should.
It sounds silly, even as I write this I feel a bit foolish for feeling this way. However, I have been feeling like I’m not getting myself out there enough. I’ve not been submitting articles, stories, or poetry as much as I would like. I’m also not marketing my work as much as I would like.
I work my day job and come home to spend a little time with Ken before he goes to bed. I spend the rest of my evenings working on writing of some sort. I’m just not getting the things I mentioned done. I’ve been writing and editing like mad.
A couple days ago, I was feeling pretty negative about my writing and my accomplishments. I had to “take a moment” because I have been so busy dealing with the chaos of my life, I’ve forgotten to look at all that I have accomplished.
Here is my poem and my reminder to be gentle with yourself and take a moment to realize how much you do… I think we all need a reminder of that – I know I do.
Take A Moment Alarm rings, crawl out of bed, Rush through a shower, breakfast, last minute chores Scurry out the door, dropping kids at school or work Charge through the day, watching the clock wish it to be Break time, lunch time, quitting time Hurry home to make dinner Mother and wife the family, Dishes, bills, homework, college info, counsel kids Be everything to everyone. STOP! Take a moment to watch The squirrels scamper and chase Across the yard Take a moment to hear The birds singing with joy For the new day Take a moment to smell The soothing scents of flowers Blooming in season Take a moment to feel the breeze Toying gently with your hair Twisting and tangling it Take a moment to taste A crisp green apple picked Fresh from the tree Take a moment…
August is the beginning of harvesting. It is time to start gathering up what has been planted and grown all year. The full moon, which is fast approaching, is about sharing the fruits of your labors.
With the waxing moon it is a build up of energy towards the full moon. It is about getting prepared to share what you have been doing and what you have accomplished. As the energy shifts to the full moon, I’m starting to feel pressure to accomplish more.
While I’ve been working on the creative story telling since the waning moon last month, I’m starting to feel the pressure to get some of the other things done on my list. I have the third poetry book to finish selecting the poems, finalize the cover, work on the Defenders series, marketing tasks like press releases and a myriad of other things.
This is the time when my energy becomes more frenzied with getting things done. I usually feel like I’m not getting enough done and then when the full moon is full force I’m overwhelmed with all the energy.
From the waning moon in July until now, I’ve been working on a story. It is now over 83,000 words and I’m down to a final scene. It is the culminating battle which is going to have a lot of layers to it. I know what I want to happen but I’m struggling with getting it on paper. One of the things I feel I need to do is map it out. I’ve done this with other battle scenes. Seeing on paper where people are in connection with each other and the landscapes helps me get it down on paper.
I’m hoping to write the final scene, or section really as there will be a lot of little scenes within this last part, before the full moon. I feel like it is the culmination of the dark moon energy that needs to be done by then. I’ve got all the components it is just a matter of getting it all down on paper. It will mean I’ve gotten a rough draft of a novel done in just about three weeks.
Rough draft is one thing. There are about a thousand steps from the rough draft to publication but I think this is a good start on this project. I’m looking forward to seeing it through. I guess I’m harvesting a novel with this full moon.
A good chunk of my day yesterday was spent trying to figure out the order the poems for my next poetry book should go in. It sounds like a simple task – just choose what order seems to make the most sense.
It isn’t that simple. For one thing, I’m not always the best judge of my poems. I tend to be very critical of my own work. One thing that helps is to hear them out loud. It helps me hear whether they flow well or not. That is completely subjective on my part.
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out categories. Once I separated them into categories, then I had to figure out what order they had to in. I have favorites. I always have favorites so it is hard for me to let go of one even if it doesn’t fit. I like it so much I want to share. But I have to look at the overall book. Is this favorite poem of mine going to enhance the book? If it isn’t then I shouldn’t include it.
I called Vicki to grumble my way through a few decisions. She is much more objective and being a librarian she can give me a perspective of other books. Plus she isn’t afraid to tell me I’m wrong.
The order for the next poetry book is set for now. Sometimes when I’m working with the electronic file I find that oh hey this one actually goes really well with this group rather than the one I’d stuck it in.
In addition to working on the poetry book, I worked on one of my crochet experiments. I also started a crochet spreadsheet. I’ve always wanted to have a record of what I’ve crocheted plus Vicki was nagging at me about it so I started a spreadsheet. She wants me to write a crochet book but I don’t feel I’m in a place where I can do that. The spreadsheet will help me see how many of my own patterns I’m creating and also get me taking pictures of my projects (hopefully better ones than I normally do). If I find that I’m making up more of my own projects then I might work on a book.
I could try doing the afghan contest that Herrschner’s has every year. I’ve thought about it in the past but I don’t like that they get to copyright on the pattern. However, if I were going to go into writing craft books, it would be a good credit to add to my portfolio, especially if I won.
It is summer and if you are looking for some good books to read check out mine:
My first poetry book is now available in paperback. I’m very excited about this one because it is an expression of how nature affects me on a deeper level.
Nature inspires me. I watch it wash over all of us and how we all react to it. It doesn’t matter whether it is the season or the daily weather. It affects people’s moods and attitude towards everything. It is awe inspiring and moves me regularly to put into words the affect it has on me.
In reading my poetry, you will find some rhyming poems but not too often. Generally they are more free form and less structured. I do like Haiku format which there are a few in this book. Haiku is an ironic poem with a set format. They are fun – at least I think so.
The cover for this book was shot by Suzanne Inez Jaillet-Isham. It is from one of her hiking trips down into the Grand Canyon. When she shares her photography, I get to go to places I wouldn’t normally be able to go. I truly appreciate her skills as a photographer. More of her work is on display on YouTube, just search for LilyAZ to see more of her work.
Since the late 90s, I’ve been jotting poems down in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times. Some of these have been published (see my credits page and my poetry page). Poetry for me is something I get in a flash. It is a word or phrase that sticks in my head and won’t go away until I write it down which of course leads to more words. Poetry is experiencing some moment in my life whether in nature, life, or spiritual.
After years of gathering these poems, I’ve decided to share these moments. In looking at my two binders full of poetry, I picked out the nature ones first. These are generally positive, uplifting, and descriptive. They are about what I’ve seen or experienced while out in nature.
Over time I plan to do more books of my poetry to make a series incorporating different aspects like spiritual moments, and moments in life. Please go check out my latest publication.
Poetry is personal. My short stories, novels, essays, while personal aren’t a microcsope of how I was feeling in a particular moment. My poetry is an insight into how I was feeling in one particular moment. It exposes sometimes raw emotion to whoever reads it.
In many ways this is what makes it good (and dare I hope great) poetry. I’ve been working on gathering up my poetry to publish. I think I’ll have a few volumes of it. I have two large binders full to choose from so I think I can come up with a couple different. The first step for me in gathering my poetry was of course to go through to make sure all my files matched up – my binder with my spreadsheet of poetry with the actual typed files of poetry.
As a writer, I have to tap into personal feelings often. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cried or laughed or gotten angry while I wrote a scene. When I write my poems, I literally scrawl down my feelings – raw and real – that I’m having in a whatever moment is going around me. Sometimes this is the beautiful scene outside my window. Sometimes it is a social injustice I am railing against. Sometimes it is just a magical moment that needs to be remembered.
As I was working on cleaning it up last night and looking through my work I started to hear that nagging annoying inner voice telling me the poetry wasn’t up to par and I should pick something else to publish. I trust my instincts. This grumbling voice is not connected to my instincts. It is connected to my wish to remain private and protected. If I share the poems then people will know what I think and what I feel. This is dangerous because I am opening these thoughts and feeling to ridicule or rejection.
Now if I could just use some duct tape on this inner critic I would be in much better shape but I can’t. She pops up when I least expect her. Fortunately I’m very familiar with her tricks and tantrums. Last night when I heard that voice telling me I shouldn’t publish my poetry it hit me hard as I was very excited about this project. I’m working on the cover and thinking about how I want to organize it all. The details are all in my head and I just need time to get it together.
There I was working on the first step and my inner critic starts in with that poem isn’t good enough or who is going to be interested in this. It made me pause. It made me pause long enough to turn the page and look at a different poem and know I need to share. Not every poem in my two binders is good enough to be published. Some just don’t have the depth or are too personal. There are many reasons to reject them but there are just as many that are worth sharing. The sentiment in the poems will touch people I believe. For that reason, I need to share them.
I’ll work on shoving that inner critic into the back of the closet in my head. I’ll work on the poetry books and will let the readers be the judge. All I can do is put the work out and let the readers decide.
Yesterday was exceedingly productive. Ken got up early to collect firewood from his brother’s house. On the way home he stopped at Sorg’s to pick up our order. I made sure I was up, dressed and organized by the time he got home.
We went to Schnuck’s grocery store as they were having a 10 for 10 get the 11th free sale. We bought only sale items and saved about $94 dollars between sales and coupons.
Back home, Ken had fixed my chair sort of so I worked on Moon Affirmations – the paper edition. It is in the review process and I’m obsessively checking every hour or so to see if it has finally made it through review. I also wrapped three of the graduation gifts I had finished crocheting.
In the evening we wandered out again to go to Walmart. Ken found the last graduation gift I wanted so he picked that up. Then we went to Target for Stephanie who wanted Brewer’s sunglasses. Sadly they didn’t have any. Finally we stopped at Woodman’s to do the last of our shopping. We only got about three or four things that we didn’t have a coupon for and we saved $21.25 in coupons.
By the time we got home Ken was done. I came back to the computer and did a few things on the next project. I’m organizing my poems. This means I have the electronic file, paper copy, and it listed on my spreadsheet. I got through A’s and B’s last night. I also obsessively checked on Moon Affirmations. Moon Affirmations made it onto Barnes and Noble this week as well.
I played on the computer for a bit before I settled into the living room to read a book. I’m reading Lean In. It is a very good book. It is about how women struggle for acceptance and equality even in today’s supposed enlightened era. I recommend it for all people.
Unfortunately I slept poorly again. This is about three weeks of sleep being elusive to me. It would be nice to go to sleep easily and actually stay asleep for four to six hours. At this stage I’m lucky to get four solid.
Today is process food, obsessively check on Moon Affirmations, and relax at some point. I want to get food prepped for me to easily grab it during the week for breakfast and lunch. If you’ve read my blog for any length of time you know I’m not a morning person so it has to be exceedingly simple or I won’t remember in the morning. I’ve got dip, turkey burgers, and coleslaw to make. I have to prep cucumbers, peppers, and other items to go in the freezer. If I have time, I want to work on the poetry project as well. You would think with all we did yesterday we could sit back and relax today but that won’t be the case.
