Dreamcatcher

So it's been day 5 stuck in the house because of the snow. We kind of live in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees, so there are really no plows that make it this way. We had 14 inches the other day and another 5 last night. The driveway is long...I mean like...really long, but despite all that my husband had decided the best bet is to try to shovel the snow out of the drive:)
He worked all day yesterday outside shoveling. The irony? It dumps another 5 inches last night. HA! Now he is silently lying on the bed giong crazy! I can't help but laugh at him though. So with all that being said, because of it being day 5 in the house, I have been doing a lot of reading and a lot of writing. Here is something new just for fun from Iris' view. Enjoy!

~Dreamcatcher~
Desperation, fighting air,
Pleading, deapening, empty there.
Hands fumble and find your face,
Reaching, endless into space.
Ice cold frost on your lips,
I shudder deep, involuntary twist.
Ally dark, deep, never knowing,
Puddle warm, red, and ever flowing.
Adrenaline unleashed, hysteria raised,
Foggy, unclear, like a tripped up maze.
Hair entangled, my shirt is wet,
The future is mangled,
By an imaginary bet.
Indecipherable, my memory can't understand,
It should serve me correctly,
for my unfair hand.
It's like a puzzle,
That was never meant to be finished,
Your hope is half hearted,
Then is fully diminished.
Moonbeam streams through my fingertips,
and then glimmers in your hair,
Mist floating on your pale skin,
Fresh, bare.
Flashes of a rope swinging from a tree,
Flashes of a rope beckoning me.
Exposed and raw,
New moments with you,
My hands fumble again,
With everything that you do.
Blonde hair, blue eyes,
Blonde hair, green,
A Rose smelling sweet,
And as untamed as me.
Awaking my eyes,
Igniting the spark,
With embers and fire,
In a dreamcatchers heart <3

Fire and Ice

It's cold outside,
Ice and snow,
Picturesque sky,
With nowhere to go.

Down by the creek,
Frozen and chilled,
Animal tracks,
Perfectly skilled.

Layered in white,
Branches bend at their will,
Screams of birds,
Wide eyed and still.

No sign of life,
Standing in one moment,
I hold it tight,
And silently own it.

Peeking for green,
None to be found,
Only a blank sheet,
Spotted with brown.

Fire can melt ice,
Like the fire in your eyes,
But fire only burns with desire,
And extinguishes with good-bye.

Surrounded by wood,
A foot of snow,
The fire is dust,
Covered below.

"Cassie" Cover

This has always been one of my favorites by Flyleaf. This is my cover to "Cassie." If you haven't heard this band, check them out. It's rare that a group of people can be so beautifully, and musically talented! I apologize if you can't hear the guitar well. I couldn't but I don't know if it was just my computer:)

A New Journey

I apologize for not updating lately. I know excuses are excuses but as for mine at first it was holidays that busied me and then I have recently been ill. I am recovering though and look forward to more chats and updates with my readers.
I am excited to say that Cressen Books Publishing and I have teamed up and I have been lucky enough for them to add me into their circle of writers and friends. I have hopeful aspects for this journey and can predict a promising 2013. More updates will be made in the future about my work, but as for Cressen Books themselves please check out their website linked to my blog. They are a group of very kind and talented people and they have a selection of books on their site that you may be interested in while you wait on me! Please also like their facebook page! The more the better and it would be a great favor to me as well.
I will have more updates, errant thoughts, poems, and songs in the near future and actually have another performance at the Muddy Boots Cafe' on December 19th from 6-8 p.m for anyone who will be in the Nashville area.
Until then "like" Cressen Books, and check them ouut if you would like! Below is the link to their facebook page and onn my blog is the link to thier site.
Enjoy your holiday shopping and remember what the season is all about! All my love...
