Countdown

Have you ever felt like you were looking through the eyes of a stranger? Everything around you looks so different. The people seem more dimensional, the sky a lot less closer, and your heart and mind open. That's what i felt like after starting to realize my ability to write poetry. The small things in life which you gain, or lose, break or mend, they create who you are. Now, as time progresses i'm realizing how important our character and our actions really are. I'm concentrating on striving to stay pure hearted. Always to be kind, always to respect and always be accepting, so allong this path in this world i can have patience.

Let's shake that serious tone for now. hahah. :P I'm counting down the time to when my Book Bittersweet will be published by a publishing press. I was told, this Tuesday!

FIrelight

A girl with a luminous pale green eye with scales feathered out from it. Firey red hair and a look of slight angst on her face. It's the cover of a new novel in Sophie's paranomal the Draki YA series, Firelight. She's a new author to me, and anything about creatures and dangerous twists always get's me hooked!




I think we've had enough of vampires and werewolves now haven't we? In no way am i saying i don't like those mysertious and alluring paranormal creatures, but when they're used so much, you crave something more creative. And from this book, you have it. A new generation, and it may have been influenced from 'the girl with the dragon tattoo', but that's just me. :P here's the description of the book on Sophie's site:

'With her rare ability to breathe fire, Jacinda is special even among the draki—the descendants of dragons who can shift between human and dragon forms. But when Jacinda’s rebelliousness leads her family to flee into the human world, she struggles to adapt, even as her draki spirit fades. The one thing that revives it is Will, whose family hunts her kind. Jacinda can’t resist getting closer to him, even though she knows she’s risking not only her life but the draki’s most closely guarded secret '

It won't be out until September 7 2010, so for now all I can do is admire the cover. When it does come out, you can be sure i'm buying it. :) And, i'll have a hot review on it to.

Third Book!

I actually stopped writing poetry for a while...* hears gasping.* I know, bad move. Lol but I wasn't feeling inspired in any way. Music seemed to just annoy me and life's stress was making me pretty tired. Now, it's different. Those very stresses and changes in my life help me to write poems and form those soul stretchers turn into lyrical works of ink. :P

It was my Birthday on the 24th by the way! I'm having a party real soon so I'm really excited. :)

I'm working on a 3rd Book! So far I have about 12 poems. I have alot going on besides writing more. I have flyers to send out to local book enthusiasts and stores. I have many contacts to well contact this month. A publisher a bookstore manager and many of my friends wanting a book. :)
I hope everyone's summer is going well and that you are having an awesome time!
I'll update about The publisher and Hot Ice (my second book) as soon as I get Information on them. Wish me luck! Thanks for your support eveyone.

Thankful randomness

You're probably thinking, "she's gonna say we know she hasn't posted for a long time now, but she was really busy"... then, your wrong. Lol I was just lazy. Haha. ;)

So this month I have my eyes on my flyer! I already have a design. I just need to print and distribute it. Then I'll be going around downtown, yeeaaah. * puts on cool shades* giving them out. Lastly I'll be heading to Chapters and try to sell Bittersweet at their one of many locations in Ottawa. Pretty busy. I'll update soon, I'm off to bed, eventually. Peace!

FIFA World Cup

Are you excited as i am about soccer?! I sure am. :D Today we watched England and the US. What a game. They finished at one a piece. I couldn't watch the whole game, being busy with writing and all... but i'll probably keep posting about the teams.

<3

Been very, very busy!

I haven't posted for a long time now, due to redecorating the house. My dad's been painting and carpeting the place. we still have stray threads lying around. Then i was concentrating on working on my flyer. I just need a few reviews from friends and it should be done! Hopefully everything goes right.
Anyway, have a great day everyone, and i hope you're having a great summer. :)

Confection

Lately,
That's all i know,
sweetly,

I'll say oh,
never say no,
to what comes my way
i'm eager for the day

I might slip,
made to trip
i might fall
but i'll give it my all

to make every moment
taste like confection
feel like confection
sound like perfection

We're made weak
to stay in a losing streak
but if i change
let me break

what's difficult will make me strong
what's easy will make me wrong

Inked

To whom it concerns... hahaha

I have added a few poems from Bittersweet.
they'll make you smile, they might even make you cry. I hope
i don't make you cry though, unless it's the "tears of joy" concept. :)
I would like to spread these poems out to you. They're my way of telling you what i have seen life like, become and what it is now.
Everyone in life wants to smile, to grow and become a strong person. If you ever do get a chance to read Bittersweet, you will find that they are not just paragraphs of words that rhyme, they are telling a story, painting a canvas and reaching out to hearts. I'm not only saying what hardships humanity goes through, but what humanity has been blind to.

The reason to live is to overcome our struggles. The rules of life might not change, but we can change ourseleves. Acceptance is one of the keys to all of life's lessons. Even stains are beautiful.

Sacrifice

Sacrifice

We count away our time
Regretting our sun ever shined
We’d rather live at night
Never to see any of your scars

We live to sacrifice
Empty out our own lives
See our loved ones smile
Even if we pine all the while

We want to give in
Give the love you all are missin’
And take in all your sorrow
To grant you a better tomorrow

No need to ask how we feel
All that matters is if you’re real
See our delicate smiles and tears
We’ll make you laugh away your pain and fears

We live to sacrifice
Never to entice
You to our own whims
We would be mistaken

We’d do anything for a single laugh
We’d say anything for your joy to last
We’d do anything for many years
We’d say anything for your ‘I love you’ dears

Deck of Cards

Deck of cards

Spades,
Clubs
Hearts,
Diamonds

Life, bring me what you will
And make me fight until
I know it gets even more pained
Cause that’s how it’s played
I’ll make it to the top eventually
Cause after all it’ll come naturally

Showed me the spades
That stabbed me with pain
Clubs, sent me an explosion
Gave me an array of emotion

And hearts opened to one another
healing into a diamond with luster
These are my deck of cards
Reminding me it’s not that hard

They might not be in order
Choosing won’t make you a beggar
So when they fall to the ground
Let them stay face down
And pick them up again
It’s limited time to spend
If you choose your desired order
You’ll break their corners

Spades,
Clubs
Hearts,
Diamonds

Showed me the spades
Made me help my pains
Clubs, sent me flying
Gave me a chance at smiling

And hearts mended into one
Process of diamonds are done
These are my deck of cards
Reminding me who we are

We’re only human
So if we keep consuming
And try to get our own way
There’ll come a day
You’ll fall hard
Cause the bigger you are
You’ll fall hard


Spades,
Clubs
Hearts,
Diamonds


A deck of cards
Don’t grow with greed
Replace them with a good deed
You’ll fall hard
Cause the bigger you are
You’ll fall hard
Along with your deck of cards

Sunrise

(the above image does not belong to me.)

Sunrise

Yeah the sunset is believed romantic
With all its soft colorful clouds
Yet what would you call a frown?
The safest sun is a smile or a laugh

Stay up to see a remarkable sight
A sunrise is rarely seen at all
Like a smile that radiates light
Just give it a look, you won’t regret

A red line on the horizon flickers
As a yellow light starts to bleed
Is it close to anything you’ve ever seen?
Now time slows, as the sun awakes


When your mind goes into bliss
Even you’d believe the wealth of the sight
And every worry, every pain is a miss
As joy anxiously tickles you


Yeah the sunset is believed romantic
With all its soft colorful clouds
Yet what would you call a frown?
The safest sun is a smile or a laugh

Stay up to see a remarkable sight
A sunrise is rarely seen at all
Like a smile that radiates light
Just give it a look, you won’t regret

Everybody, give a chance to the sunrise
Do a good deed and see it blossom
Be patient, kind and then some
Let it glow, and inspire awe

For you, a smile

::♥ :: A smile, needing no language, no voice, no complexity,
this simple smile, with deep meanings.
For you,
a single white rose, symbolizing
love and purity.
For you ::♥ ::

Taste testers anyone?

Mmm tastes like....?

Poetry is like food for the heart, or just in simple words, writing which makes
people emotional, and can inspire when you feel hopeless.

Poetry is so natural to me, coursing through my very veins, as I don't feel the need to think, rather
feel the words from my own experiences. Not all poems will rhyme. Not at all. But I just can't. Help it. It's like an obsession. I just need to rhyme every line! See what I mean? Haha.



Thank you!

Sahira
