My rock
My weakness
My blanket
My guardian
My comfort
My button pusher
My heart
My soulmate
My bestfriend
My worst enemy
My naysayer
My yes man
My dear
My pain in the ass
My husband
You are all of these things to me
All the good
All the bad
Through thick and thin
Til death do us part

[PoeticWitch]

A mood..
A mood!!
I am in a mood!
I say!
Did you hear me?
I am in a mood!
Don't tell me to smile!
I don't want to hear it
Why can't I be in a mood?
Relish it a bit!
Then let it go
Who are you to tell me?
What I should and should not do?
Accept my frown
But telling me to smile
Will surely get a glare
If I am nice about it
If not, you might want to run
Leave me to my mood!
It is mine!
And mine alone!
My damn mood!
So go tell someone else to smile
Or some bodily harm might be done

[PoeticWitch]

To age
To grow old
To learn wisdom
To live the Golden Years

Is a gift
Is tough
Is a trail of patience
Is the hardest thing to do

Men age
Looking sophisticated
With grey and bald spots
And laugh lines

Women age
As if fighting a battle
Wrinkles and extra hair
And dye jobs out the wazoo

There is a certain look
That the young have
A look of the innocent
That you can see from a mile away

To be able to live
To your Golden Years
Is the greatest gift
The Gods/esses could give

[PoeticWitch]

Not even forty
Already feeling sixty
Wishing for twenty
Such is life

You are a kid
And enjoying it
You are a kid
But want to be older
You are older
But want to be a kid again

Such is life
You are never where you want to be
But maybe
You are where you need to be

You want more
More money
Bigger house
Nice car

You want less
If you didn't make so much
You wouldn't pay so much to the goverment
Smaller house
Cheaper car

Children so wonderful
So precious and adorable
Then they grow
Give me give me give
More money more money
Give me money and I hate you

When did your children become such brats
They want want want
And they bleed you dry
And you wonder if they will take care of you in your dotage

Such is life
Such is life
Such is life
Then you die

[PoeticWitch]

Here it is
Christmas day
A day
Of family
A day
Of friends
Of loving
And cherishing
Or so it is suppose to be
A Grinch
I am not
A Scrooge
Oh no not me
But to be true
This holiday
Wether it is for Santa
Toys and joy
Or for Christ
Most holy of births
Is lacking
Any feeling
Of comfort and joy
Gimme Gimme Gimme
That is all I hear
From the young
And from the old(er)
At night
The lights are so bright
That the earth itself
Is brighter than the sun
More lights and more lights
Oh my god!
Look at my electric bill!
Maybe my giving mood
Is broken
Maybe my tenderness so mild
Is tied up in knots
Deep in my gut
But believe me
My heart isn't small
Just so very empty

[PoeticWitch]

Deep within me
A spark
My creative core
To be released

With love from all
With song and dance
With inspiration from above
With the gift of life from the earth


Painting pictures with words
Conveying emotions through thought
Creating art
To express my love for all

To turn a tragedy
Into comfort
To put a patch on your soul
And pay homage to the suffering

My words a prayer
Asking and pleading
To heal the hurt
To love the unloved

Seeking forgiveness
Sending these words
Up into the universe
Only the Gods know where

[PoeticWitch]

Words on a screen
Scrolling by
Some joking
Some loving
Some harsh

Words on a screen
Scrolling by
You read them
I read them
We all read them

Words on a screen
Scrolling by
All the same words
I cry and you laugh
Just because I am not you and you are not me

Words on a screen
Scrolling by
We cannot
Control
The interpretation of the words

Words on a screen
Scrolling by
We cannot always think
Before we speak or type
The interpretations has gone all wrong

Words on a screen
Scrolling by
Please
Lets remember
They are just words on the screen

[PoeticWitch]

Far ahead of me
Quite a distance before me
I see a light
Yellow warmth flickering
Enticing and beckoning
An unspoken promise
Of welcome and friendship
Of familial love
So tender
Like tinder
A spark igniting
A roaring fire
That warms us all
Reminding me
Of hugs and kisses
As we were laid down to sleep
Now that we are grown
Our parents do not give us such goodnights
But every night
The Mother and The Father
The Goddess and The God
Kisses us and blesses us
Because though we are adults
In our human realm
We are yet babes
To these Celestial beings

[PoeticWitch]

Another year has passed
Older but not much wiser
40 a number
Old society standard
For being over the hill
New society standard
I have 10 more years
To trudge up that hill
Lets forget it all
Lets dance in the sunlight
Be thankful for what was
And what will be
Years of love and heartache
Years of good friends
And crazy family
Mending bridges
Bandaged hearts
I am thankful
For the years the Goddess has given me
Will be thankful
For the years the Goddess might give me
Will give thanks
As it all comes to me
Blessed be for you
And for me

[PoeticWitch]

Discrimation
Is a blame game
I did it
You did it
Who did it?
Tears from my eyes
Pain in my heart
One for all
And all for one
A very rare ideal
In the human race
Your color is different
Your love is different
Your ideals are different
Thus they must be wrong
In the eyes of society
Why can't we work together?
For the common good
No matter your look
No matter the way you love
No matter the broken ideals of society
The rich get richer
The poor get poorer
Black, white, or purple
In the end we all starve
Come take my hand
Hold my heart
In the end we all want the same thing
Just from a different view
Equality means equality

[PoeticWitch]

Thoughts and dreams
Floating in my mind
Sparks firing
As my imagination
Runs wild
I cannot focus
They will not come together
To create a story
That all might enjoy
Holy Mother!
Help me to direct my thoughts
Into something productive
I just want to share the beauty
That I see in my mind
With all who might listen
Help my bring it all together
For me as well as them
As above, so below
Blessed be

[PoeticWitch]

Hello from the other side
I have tried calling many times
But the wires aren't reliable here
A place like no other
Neither heaven or hell
I just wanted to apologize
To the family I left behind
I was only human when I walked on that side
I made many mistakes in my short lifetime
I wasn't the best that I could be
It might have looked like I never tried
But believe me I did
But I realize now it wasn't enough
For all of you and even me
So please accept my apology
In the next life I will endeavor to be better
Maybe we will meet again
In the next lifetime

[PoeticWitch]

Your mind!
I love your mind!
How quick witted you are!
But never cruel!

Your mind!
Your mind tickles mine!
Inciting the sparks to fly!
The banter almost orgasmic!

Your mind!
Your mind so beautiful!
Like a new kind if flower!
A flower of every changing colours!

Your mind!
Your mind so beautiful!
So wonderful that I want to pet it!
So wonderful, I just want to eat it up!

[PoeticWitch]

I am of an age
A woman of an age
When everything starts
To show the world
That gravity works
All to well

I am of an age
A woman of an age
When I might be taken seriously
If it wasn't for that
HUGE UGLY word
Menopausal

I am of an age
A woman of an age
And of a size
That society thinks
To be ignored
To be put aside

I am of an age
A woman of an age
I will not be put to the side
To be forgotten
I am a force to reckoned with
Unforgettable and unstoppable

I am of an age
A woman of an age
I have come far
And have farther still to go
I have earned my wrinkles
With laughter and tears

I am of an age
A woman of an age
Where my wisdom
Will get me far
But my attitude
Will get me farther

I am of an age
A woman of an age
I have been the maiden
I have been the mother
I am of an age
The crone do I manifest


I am of an age
A woman of an age
A Golden Age

[PoeticWitch]

Crying in my room
Crying in the shower
Crying and hiding
Ripping apart
Tearing apart
Breaking apart
Crying in the morning
Crying in the afternoon
Crying at night
Shattering like glass
Crumbling like stone
Splintering like wood
Crying in my mind
Crying in my heart
Crying in my soul
Begging silently
Imploring silently
Silently asking
For help
For support
Just for a little comfort
Falling away
Sliding away
Plunging down in to the abyss
Feeling invisible
Feeling disoriented
Feeling as if my SELF is vanishing
Body hurting
Mind hurting
Soul hurting
Please someone
Save me
From myself

[PoeticWitch]

Heart beating
Breath escaping
Head bopping
To the beat
Feet moving
Hands waving
Body swaying
To the music
My toes
Can feel
The very soul
Of the Mother
Under my feet
The Mother
Is calling
Calling
Me home
Pushing
This wild feeling
Through
My whole entire body
Like the blood
That flows through my veins
The mothers call
Urges me home
Dancing wildly
Singing to my heart and soul
I can never escape
Home
She calls to me
Like a warm bed
On a cold winters night
Like a moth to the flame
I am listening Mother
I am going
Going
Gone
To find my home
It is time to heal
It is time to mend
It is time to be reborn
To recharge my batteries
I am listening Mother
I am going
Going
Gone

[PoeticWitch]

Once upon a time
There was a girl
I knew her well
Her name was Poet
And a poet she was
Writing and musing
Of everyday things
Poems of love abound
More poems though
Of noodles
Of seasons
Of colors
Of friendship
And of course heartache
She put to pen
Every thought
To pass through her mind
Some were beautiful
Eloquent even
Others were weird
Weird and demented
Some even perverted
But then she was a poet
And truly poets
Know the perversions of the world
For the perverse
Make good fodder
For poetry

[PoeticWitch]

I lay myself down
Praying for dreams
Praying for the sweetest of dreams
Sweet dreams are made of these
But not for me
The Night Mares are stampeding
Through my dreams
Trampling the fields
The fields of love, life, and laughter
They surround me
Stamping their hooves
Fire in their eyes
Smoke coming out in puffs
From their noses
I spin in circles
Looking for a path of escape
But there is no way for me
To escape the rampaging Night Mares
They raise up
And down they come
Crushing me with their hooves
Breaking and smashing my bones
Overwhelming me with fear and pain
That follows me into the light of day
As I wake covered in a cold sweat
My heart beating so hard
I cannot catch my breath
As I cannot wipe the Night Mares from my mind

[PoeticWitch]

Enough
When is enough, enough?
So tired of words
Upon words upon words
Of how we as humans
Should be this way or that
But never shows in our actions
We as humans have a choice
To be of a loving nature
Or to be of a wicked nature
Choice is what makes us, us
Humans
What is human nature?
Truly?
Do we have it in our nature
To be altruists?
Or are we truly beasts?
Hidden in skins of a human
When is enough, enough?
Our own Police are being used
Used as soldiers of yesteryear's
To drive the Natives of this land
From this land
Down a trail of tears
Once again
When is enough, enough?
When we as humans
Have the right to cause pain and death
To any living creature
Be it cat, dog, elephant, or whale
When is enough, enough?
Where is God with his righteousness?
Why does he allow children to be abused
And murdered?
When is enough, enough?
When is enough, enough?
When is enough, enough?

[PoeticWitch]

Do we fight?
Or lay down to die?
Do we get up swinging?
Or just keep getting kicked?

I am on my knees
Praying for an anwer
From the Almighty
Or my fellow human beings

Waiting and waiting
Straining to hear
An answer
Am I worth it?

Does your life matter?
More than mine?
Whose life is more important?
A man, or a woman, or even a child?

Do we fight today?
Or do we lay down to die tomorrow?
Do we fight for our lives?
Or do we get kicked to death?

I am waiting and waiting
Straining to hear
An answer from humanity
Is there such a thing as compassion?

How much is a life worth?
Is there a price tag?
How much is my life worth?
Or a man, or a woman, or even a child.

Do we fight tomorrow?
Or did we die yesterday?
Do we fight for the lives of those who are to come?
Or do will we kick ourselves for our own stupidity?

I am waiting and waiting
Straining to hear
An answer from the powers up high
Will we survive?

[PoeticWitch]

Which witch is which?
I am a poetic witch
A sensitive witch
A witch of fine design
An artistic witch
A mouthy witch
A political witch.. sometimes
A mental witch
A menopausal witch
An animal loving witch
A witch who lacks patience for those who judge without knowing
A witch is a *itch of course
But only on days that end in y
I am a witch with a morbid sense of humor
Or so I am told.
As a witch I am not green
No warts, but maybe some moles
I have a broom that is in my closet
For I am a clean witch
I do fly the night sky
In my dreams looking for friends and family
A witch who thinks that the Goddess helps those
Who help themselves
A witch such as me will protect the ones I love
And curse those who try to hurt me or mine
A white witch I am not
A black witch I will never be
But my gray robes do not define me
As the Goddess loves me for me
