Rubber Ducky Poetry Hour

[PoeticWitch]

I write poetry on and off.. it doesnt always fit into another thread or game.. so I thought I would post it here.. the first is

In Love With Love

It starts
With a pitter patter of the heart
The feel
Of love surrounding your soul

Weaving
In and out of your whole being
Becoming
A part of your very essence

Reality
Is seen through those rose colored glasses
The journey
Begins then of the ups and downs

This love
Fills you with the vitality for life
But in the end
You are only in love with love

[PoeticWitch]

The yellow sun,
above our heads
The green grass,
under our feet
The white fluffy clouds,
floating across the sky
The invisible wind,
whirling through the trees

The yellow sun,
so warm on our flesh
The green grass,
so cool on our feet
The white fluffy clouds,
making shapes up high
The invisible wind,
shaking the leaves in the trees

A microsoft day

[PoeticWitch]

At a turning point in my life
Do I go left? Or do I go right?
How about neither and I go forward
Forward towards my future
Whatever it might be
Wherever it might be
With whomever it might be
Or maybe just being by myself
No matter what happens
All I can do is love myself
And accept life as it is
And work with that.

[PoeticWitch]

I see the curiosity in your eyes
As you slowly.. painfully..
Pinch my nipples

I see the excitement cross your face
As a small moan of enjoyment
Escapes my lips..

I feel your arms wrap around me
Pulling me closer
As you bite as my lower lip

I shiver slightly as you deepen into a kiss
Your tongue plundering
My mouth

Pure delight courses through my body
In response to your touch
And I never want it to end

[PoeticWitch]

The seas are rocking us back and forth
Tossing us to and fro
Of course these are just my metaphors
For the state of the relationship we are in

But now.. I have seriously rocked this boat
I think it is about to capsize
And dump us all out
To leave us floating in this vast ocean

The vast ocean of humanity
Who lacks humanity
Compassion and understanding so fleeting
Acceptance so very rare

If you were to hold your breath
And hold it longer
Just maybe by the time you pass out
You might be accepted by society

But I doubt it

[PoeticWitch]

Frazzled
Nerves feeling like they are fraying at the ends
Tears falling
Flowing like waterfall of sorrows
Emotions spiraling
Out of control up and down and round and round

You come
Wrapping your arms around me like a warm blanket
Wiping my tears from my cheeks
Telling me it will be okay
Whispering you love me
Healing my heart and soul

And I am grateful
More then you know
You give me some sanity
When it is so fleeting
You give me a rock to lean on
You are my Superman

[PoeticWitch]

Sitting meditating
Musing over
My reflection

But is it what I see
Or what society sees
Does it matter?

To change the view to me
To change the view to society
To be who I am meant to be

[PoeticWitch]

For a half a minute
She is a great distraction
For a half a minute
She is a true contradiction

For a half a minute
She is purely complex
For a half a minute
She is barely simplex

For a half a minute
She is a beautiful daydream
For a half a minute
She is a harsh reality

For a half a minute
She is everything you ever wanted
For a half a minute
She is yours to hold forever

[PoeticWitch]

It is over
For you and I
This is how it goes
Or so they say
Whoever they might be

This is yours
And this is mine
But this was ours
How do we decide
Between our material things
And our past memories

[PoeticWitch]

The sun in the sky
The moon up high
The clouds passing by

Miles of road
Whizzing by
A blur in the blink of an eye

Time passes
Is it day
Or is it night

I can't tell the time
The hands on the watch
Spinning out of control

Where does it stop
When does it end
When can I get off this ride?

Please let me lay down
Please let me dream
Please let me refresh

Let me refresh this tired body
Let me refresh this tired mind
Let me refresh this tired soul

Such is life they say
Whose life is this anyway
Yours or mine

[PoeticWitch]

Dreaming
Am I
Not sure
Floating here
Seemingly
Detached
Reality
So faraway
Or too close
Not quite sure
Soft or hard
Was that a cloud
Or a rock
A matter of
Perception
Or conception
Does it matter
Or matters not
To dream
Or not to dream
That is the question

[PoeticWitch]

The full moon high in the sky
I stand my hands thrust upwards
Words tumble from my lips
Be'seeching my Goddess
To hear my invocation
To fulfill my petition for power
The power to change my very being
A being trapped by earthly wants and desires
To exchange it for true enlightenment
To know true love and peace
With all of my surroundings
Plant, animal, and human alike
For none is better then the other

[PoeticWitch]

An accidental touch
A quiet look
A small sigh
All hints of this attraction

An affection of the heart
Or an affection of the lions
Is it an emotion that I am wanting
Or the commotions of the flesh

Love or lust
Infatuation or pure sexual desire
Passion of the heart or just a yearning
Why is it never simple?

[PoeticWitch]

A tearful eye I see
A sniffle I hear
What is this?
Could it be?
The end of Elf
Has come to be!

But fear not my friends
For Wild Magick
Is just around the bend!
And in the meantime
Technology can keep us
Close as close can be

See you all on FB!

[PoeticWitch]

Here it is May
We come together
To celebrate
Life, love, and laughter

In the heat of the day
We barter for this or that
For needs or wants
Or even memories

As the sun goes down
The air cools and the spirits rise
The drums beat, and the feet dance
We show the Gods and Goddesses
Our gratitude for our many blessings

Our bodies dance all night long
Our souls sings til the sun rises
As the sky becomes pink
The earth becomes quiet
As many feet find their way to their beds
To rest and do it all again!

[PoeticWitch]

The noodles
Squiggle and squirm
Covered in olive oil
Making them slick
Watching them makes me think
Of two lovers fucking
Covered in babyoil
Or something of similar slipperiness
The lovers slipping and sliding
Against each other
Screwing each others brains out
And the noises they would make!
The noises, sighing and whispered words
To grunting and groaning to growling and bellowing
All in pleasure of course
Til finally they scream as they cum and cum
They cum so much it might as well be considered
Oodles of cumming
And there.. I am back to the noodles...
The noodles for my dinner
Plain ole boring noodles
Unless you look at them just right.

This poem is ode to a conversation that took place in chat.. I have reposted it here for the enjoyment of others

[PoeticWitch]

The insanity of society
Drives one to the brink
The brink of insanity

A vicious circle
We humans have created
Like a snake feeding upon itself

The poor get poorer
The rich get richer
And no one tries to change it

My insanity is not
Your insanity is not
Their insanity neither

It grows like a black mold
Like roaches infesting everything
Upon this earth of our making

[PoeticWitch]

For a minute
You made me smile
For a minute
You made me laugh

For that minute
I was dizzy with infatuation
For that minute
I was filled with yearning

Now that minute is gone
And I know it is true love
Now that minute is gone
And I will cherish you always

[PoeticWitch]

Do you remember
When you lost it
Lost that precious innocence
We all once had

The innocence of childhood
Believing in unicorns and dragons
Believing in robots and aliens
Believing tomorrow was another day for adventure

Did you gently lose it over time?
Was it ripped from you?
Did you wake up one day
Just to think that you weren't going to play anymore

Lets go back to those days
Of cowboys and indians
Of princesses and knights on white horses
Carefree days of our childhoods lost

[PoeticWitch]

You put on a smiling face
And no one knows
Of the Monster deep inside

The Monster dying to get out
To show the world who you truly are
The not so sweet woman they think

This Monster is not so bad
She just wants to say
What is truly on your mind

She just wants to be released
From these shackles of politeness
Because sometimes being polite isn't helpful at all

This Monster wants to be blunt
This Monster wants to tell the truth
This Monster wants to tell it as it is

But polite society won't like that
So this Monster stays locked away
To be hidden til one day she escapes

When this Monster escapes a rampage will ensue
The truth will be cast about with no thought to whom might be hurt
The bluntness will be used as weapon, and many will fall before it

A Monster of societies making

[PoeticWitch]

Memory so haunting
So bittersweet
Just a tune
Can bring tears
To my eyes
Dear mother
I do miss you
We might not have
Many happy memories
But there are a few
That I keep close
To my heart
To cherish so dear
To pull out and view
With a small happy smile
On my face
Little funny stories
Of times past
To tell my friends
To have a good laugh
So they know
Not all was bad
It wasn't all bad
Mother dear
I still love you
I always did
And I know you loved us too
Was just messed up
Like the rest of us
And unable to express it
I forgive you Mother
I hope you hear
What is in my heart
I hope you can rest
I hope you can move on
To a better place

[PoeticWitch]

You yell at me
I yell at you
This is a lil dance we do

Hurt feelings all around
Nothing solved in the end
Neither willing to give in

You stand your back to me
I stand my back to you
Both of us too angry to continue

Both must give in, in some way
For this rift to heal
But who will make the first move

A gentle hand on the shoulder
A silent tear on the cheek
A hug to heal the heartbreak

Both whisper apologies
Both promise to try not do it again
Both promise love forever

Who made the first touch
Who said the first sorry
It matters not for the rift is bridged

At least temporarily

[PoeticWitch]

So you are attractive
So very accepted by the masses
Your good looks are so blinding
Almost famous just for that alone

So favored are you
That they throw flowers at your feet
So very stylish and hip
That they copy you but can't pull it off quite like you

Everywhere I look I see your smiling face
This pose or that pose
That black outfit or that colorful one
So many singing your phrases

Yes you are fashionable
Like a dog in a purse
This week the beloved of all
Next week maybe not so much

Remember my popular friend
Looks fade and people are shallow
When you don't look so good on their arms anymore
You will be on the sofa beside me

[PoeticWitch]

A quarter til nine
It's coming on
Oh my dear God
I am so excited!

Sunday night
In front of the TV
For what I have been waiting for
For what feels like a century

Season Premiere
Of the best show ever
No talking allowed,
No fidgeting either

Silence all!
It is beginning!
All I can hear is the opening tune
Of doing bad things to you

This is it!
Now life is perfect
Will I really have to wait another week
For my next fix of True Blood love

[PoeticWitch]

So tiny
But such a big todo
Might not even bite
But you would think they were poisonous
By the way you react

I understand your story
Of the bee on the nose
But this isn't a bee of any sort
It doesn't bite, it doesn't sting
It means no harm

Stop bugging man
Just let the bug walk on by
The little creature didn't come in to get squished by you
It didn't come in to terrorize you
To think so is pure silliness

Just let the bug walk on by

[PoeticWitch]

I reach for the world
But it escapes my grasp
My view of reality is twisted
The future is misrepresented
The past has been perverted
How am I to make sense of all this
I see a path before me
But it crisscrosses back and forth
I call to the Powers that Be
To show me the way
It doesn't have to be easy
It doesn't have to be straight
But please let it be True

[PoeticWitch]

Thunder rolling
Rain falling
Lightening flashing
Earth scorched

They use to say
It was the Gods arguing
Now they say
It is the movement clouds

They use to say
It was our punishment
Now they say
It is positive and negative neutrons

They use to
Sacrifice virgins to placate the Gods
Now we
Batten the hatches and pray

Funny either way we still ask the Gods for help
Just in a different way

[PoeticWitch]

Let me help you
Give you the release
You want, need, and desire

Let me help you
Give you the pleasure
To flow through your body

Let me help you
Give you such ecstasy
That you writhe in euphoria

Let me help you
Give you the key to my heart
And give me the greatest pleasure of all.

For my precious Dylan

[PoeticWitch]

In the backwoods of West Virginia
We meet in a little valley none can see
We are societies strangest kind
Or so I have been told
Many shed their clothes the moment they have a foot out of the car
Not long later I'm sure you will hear many screams and moans
You would think of pain
And you would be right but if you listen closely you will hear the delight
This get together of so many different people's
To learn from each other
To see many friends from far and wide
And just maybe to get lucky too ;-)
To enjoy all this you have to make it through a gauntlet of trails
From roads from hell to torrential rains that might flood your tent and blistering heat that might fry that phone sitting in your car cause you have no signal down here in our little valley
But once you are here be prepared
To have a great time
Welcome a newbie
Beat an old friend
Or maybe the other way around
Sit around the fire making gourmet s'mores or even bacon s'mores if you're daring
Make your own glass butt plug with Blown fuse
Flogging 101 with Master Fire might get you a good beating
Think food and sex go hand in hand then Dave and Del's class might be enlightening
Come here maybe Lady Elsa will clamp you, clip you, clothespin you, and then enlighten you about power exchanges
Single? No worries! We just had our first speed dating.. Between you and me.. I heard there was a connection or two ;-)
Like music? So do I! MooseJaw was pretty damn awesome I must say!
So many things! So little time! I can't mention them all without turning this poem into book!
But don't worry we have something for everyone I'm pretty sure because there is even a hottub and pool!

[PoeticWitch]

So tired
Wanting to just lay down
To sleep, to dream
To rest my weary soul

Remembering
Standing in a crowd of peoples
All talking, touching, demanding
Demanding my attention

It isn't easy for me
To give you all what you want
My attention, my time
A small bit of my soul

Spinning out of control
Faces flashing before me
Terrifyingly spinning uncontrollably
Please stop this ride

It stopped
I am home
I sit here ready to rest and recharge
To wrap my soul comfortingly around me

[PoeticWitch]

Where...
Where is your paradise?

Is it on a beach with blue waters?
Is it on a mountain with blue skies overhead?

Is it on a cruise ship flowing through the ocean?
Is it on the back of donkey climbing a cliff?

Is that your paradise?
Or is it mine?

Paradise with room service
Paradise cooking over a fire

Laying out?
Or fishing?

So tell me now
Where is your paradise?

Whose paradise first?
Your paradise or mine?

[PoeticWitch]

I sit here and wonder
What it would have been like
To have been with you
If only for a night

To have your undivided attention
Your words and thoughts
Just for me
But I know better
It was never meant to be

It wasn't the sex I wanted
It wasn't the ropes wrapped around me
Contorting me in some uncomfortable position
It was your mind
For it excited me

I would have done it all you know
I would have let you tie me up or tie me down
If you only kept talking to me
With all your wit
With all that intelligence spilling out


I won't claim I am different from the others
Because I don't know the others
What have the others done to be near you?
Why did they want to be near you?
Is it the same as me?

In the end it doesn't matter to me
Can I just continue conversing with you
Maybe I hope your intelligence and wit will rub off on me
Maybe I hope you will be the teacher I seek in this life
Aren't we all looking for enlightenment?

I just don't know
Do you know?
Lets just converse
And see where that takes us
Lets just converse

[PoeticWitch]

Guys have it easy
The whole standing to pee thing
If only I could stand to pee
It would save me so much time

If I could just hike up my skirt
Let it loose, shake it bit
And be on my way
Oh it sounds so wonderful

But no, I have to sit
I have to wipe
Pull up the panties
Make sure that pesky toilet flushes

How fair is that?
Have you heard of that device?
Called STP? It means Stand To Pee
Have you tried it? Neither have I

But I want to
I really do
I wonder is it reusable
Is it sanitary?

I must go shopping
I must find out
I need to see with my own eyes
To see if this device can help me pee standing up

[DaddyNik12]

haah love it ducky

[PoeticWitch]

Come into my parlor
Said the spider to the fly
But I am not spider
And you are not a fly

I do have every intention of eating you up
But in a pleasing way I promise
My purpose is purely wicked
Selfish to the core

I want to corrupt your virtuous being
With the pleasure and the pain
You won't be able to tell the difference
Of that fine line I have drawn for you

Come into my parlor
Sit at my feet
Listen to my words
Then lets negotiate our deal

This deal protects you
This deal protects me
Come on now lets be smart
Safe, sane, consensual

Those are the rules of the game
At least for you and I
Come into my parlor
Let's play our game

[Ginger]

Learn something new every day!
:)

[PoeticWitch]

Hands in the air
Body spinning
In exhilaration
Soul dancing
Euphoria spreading out
Touching all those around me
The gaiety is contagious
You cannot help but smile
You cannot help but laugh
Get up and dance
Dance with me
Let your soul mingle
Mingle with mine
Twirling around each other
Touching and melding and coming apart again
Souls dancing and sharing
Sharing our love
Sharing our comfort
Sharing connectivity that we think we had lost
Get up and dance
Share your soul with me
And I will share mine with you

[PoeticWitch]

You looked into her eyes
And you fell so far down
So trustingly you offered up your heart
She tied on the strings
Dangled you about like a marionette
Push or pull, come or go
What the hell were you thinking?
I sit here and watch
I see how heartsick you are
I see the tears in your eyes
And I see your heart ripping apart
My band-aids are useless
My staples won't hold you together
Please wake up from this nightmare
Don't drown in this, whatever this is
For it isn't love and isn't worth it.

[PoeticWitch]

On my knees
Forehead on the ground
Arms stretched out before me
I bow before you in veneration

Your presence dazzles me
Your touch drives me to the brink of madness
Your voice brings me back to reality
I would give you my soul if you asked

If you but asked
If you but demanded
I am yours to command
Please I beg you..

Command me
I am a piece of putty waiting to be molded
I am a piece of paper waiting to be drawn on
You are my artist

I am your anything
Anything you want
Anything you desire
I am yours

[PoeticWitch]

My head on a pillow
A big fluffy comforter wrapped around me
Snuggled deep into my bed
Dreaming...

Laying there trying to keep myself warm
I dream of you and your arms around me
Of your hands running over my naked body
Just the thought makes my heart skip a beat

I stretch under my blanket
In my head I feel you against me
I feel your fingers tickling my neck
Your lips on my cheeks

Soft whispered words of love
Oh my love you might not really be next me
But in my mind you never leave my side
Come with me my love.. lets go back to bed

[PoeticWitch]

God give me wings
So I might fly above the masses
To avoid the touch of them
For their cruelty and lies
Sicken me and leave a feel of filth on all they touch

If you cannot give me wings God
Can you give me patience
So I might teach the masses
Of love and life
To teach them to cherish all around them

God if you cannot give me patience
Can you bring about the zombie apocalypse
Population control in an instant
People would not take everything for granted
If today you could surely die

[PoeticWitch]

I want to fly and dance like a fairy on a spring wind
To laugh and giggle while kissing a flower to watch it bloom
I want to race hummingbirds and bees from flower to flower
To twirl and somersault in midair
Making my heart burst with uncontrollable joy
Oh to be carefree like a fairy or a child once more
To let the trappings of adulthood fall from my shoulders
To remember what it was like to believe in the magical
To have that magic back
To be sprinkled with fairy dust and go for a flight
To stand in a fairy ring and be transported to entirely different realm
Time to let go of adulthood and grow young again
Lets have a bit of fun

[PoeticWitch]

Why is it wrong
That I want to be left alone
For a bit of time
You call me anti social
But honey this is just recharging
My batteries
So I might keep this smile on my face
When you say something
That hurts my brain
Making me want to slap you
With the stupid stick

Anti social would be
Me hiding in a basement
Planning the demise
Of all the people
I have had to smack
With that stupid stick
So you see let me recharge
Let me have my time alone
Otherwise I might get grumpy
And have to slap you with that stupid stick

[PoeticWitch]

Sitting here watching the fire burn
Reds, oranges, and yellows swirling together
Up into the night sky
Giving off so much warmth
Reminding me of a good hug from a loved one

Walking down a road littered with fall leaves
Reds, oranges, and yellows flowing
In the wind everywhere
A chilly wind blowing through
Just makes you want to snuggle up with a loved one

Watching the sunset on the horizon
Reds, oranges, and yellows painted
Above us most beautifully
The coming of the night sky
Makes you want to go home and lay down with your loved one

Reds, oranges, and yellows knitted into a comfy blanket
So you might wrap it around you
To keep you warm and loved
For a time
Til your true love can be by your side

[PoeticWitch]

As we lay down to sleep
Our fingers touch
Across the expanse of this king size bed
This simple gesture so very comforting
To my heart
To my soul
We talk late into the night
About this.. about that
Sometimes our future
Sometimes our past
These words are snuggles for my brain
This meeting place at the end of the day
This king size bed

[PoeticWitch]

How is it that you can make me so mushy?
My heart so very squishy
Making me want to sing and dance with happiness
Paint pink hearts graffiti all over my reality
Smearing glitter on every passing soul
I want to tattoo smiley faces on everyone I know
Darling dear I love you
But this mushy crap has got to stop
Can't I just get a daisy or two?
If it rains right now I might melt!
Oh darling dear I love you true
Lets not mush me too much just yet

[PoeticWitch]

The day has dawned
Sky so blue
Sun so bright
Air so crisp and clear

Invigorating
Refreshing
Just makes me want to stretch out
Stretch out to the four corners of the world

Share my being with one and all
Share my happiness with one and all
Share the magic I do see with one and all
Let me share this with one and all

The day has dawned
Most beautiful
The possibilities are endless
Just open your eyes and see

[PoeticWitch]

Music playing
Lyrics being sung
Inspiring memories
Visions of the past
Slipping behind my eyes

The bands that meant so much to me
Their songs that touched my soul
To this day I swear they sang just for me
I thought they knew what I went through
The pain and agony of memories healing

I remember jumping around to
Korn and Linkin Park
Dancing of a sort to
Tool and A Perfect Circle
Helping me feel that in some way I am understood

Today I sit here and listen to them all again
Thanking all powers that be
For the gift of these bands
For their music helped me in many ways
When I wasn't open to other live human beings

No matter what music you listen to
Be it rap or jazz, be it punk or alternative
Be it opera or broadway showtunes
As long as it touches your soul
That is all that matters

[PoeticWitch]

Everywhere you look
There is someone
Telling someone else
What they can and cannot do

Who are you to tell me
That I cannot marry
That I cannot be happy
With the one I love

This is a party for one and all
Or so they said
But see that guy
He isn't allowed because of his dangly bits

This here bar is for drinking
But apparently my money isn't good enough
Because I have tits and a pussy
Sorry guys I don't have a dick for you!

We have enough discrimination
Do we really need to discriminate
Against our own
Rise above it

But we sit back and let it happen
But no more honey
I am going to rise above it
Where ever I see it happening

[PoeticWitch]

What is a life worth?
Is it worth a drink or two?
Three or four? Maybe more?

You and your friends
Out on the town for the night
Drinking away, as if you were fish

Closing time has come
Who is to drive?
You are drunk and he is too

Behind the wheel
Speeding down the road
Flash of light, screech of tires

All you hear is screaming
Burning smell mixed with a coppery sent
Your hand covered in blood

Your friend beside you is dead
The people in the other car
All dead except for the one screaming

What is a life worth?
How about three lives?
Several years in prison I hope

[PoeticWitch]

Feeling so stagnant
Neither flowing forward
Nor backwards

So very putrid are my thoughts
Is it the lack of stimulation
Or the persons I converse with

This current state of mind
Feeling so very disturbed
Remove this poison from my being

The negativity is so very contagious
Spreading through me corrupting
My individual essence

Please save my soul
From the evil of the world
Encroaching on my happiness

Please rip this vile energy
From my fragile mortality
And cleanse my spirit

Help me be free of negativity
Help me be pure of hate
Help me be happy once again

[PoeticWitch]

In the need of magic
In need of belief
Of something bigger then me
Oh to be able to see infinity
To be able to see the mystical
Ethereal, transcendental, totally unreal
To watch the unimaginable come to life
Oh Goddess bless me!
Open my third eye
To the Magic that surrounds me
Day in and day out
Let the magic brighten my day
Let the magic brighten my soul
Let the magic brighten my world!

[PoeticWitch]

The seasons are changing
From hot to chilly over night
Little summer dresses are traded
For jeans and comfy sweaters

The seasons are changing
Hot summer fun a fond memory
Cold fall nights snuggled around an open fire
In our immediate future

The seasons are changing
The bikinis are packed away
The blankets are pulled out
Long walks at night with the one you love

The seasons are changing
The trees change from green
To beautiful reds and oranges
Soon to fall and fly through the air

The seasons are changing
Summer where we fight to keep the yard green
Now we have to rake leaves everyday
Big black trash bags dotting our yard

The seasons are changing
Summer is gone
Fall is here
Winter is coming

[PoeticWitch]

Do you ever wonder what a cat thinks?
What it thinks while it looks at you?
You would like to think they just want to connive more food out of you
Or maybe what pile of laundry to lay on that day, clean or dirty

But the truth is it is thinking "Damn I wish I had thumbs!"
If a cat had thumbs they wouldn't need us
So when you get that feeling as a cat is staring at you
That it might be planning your demise.... it is... if it had thumbs that is

Thumbs to open bags of catfood
Thumbs to open cans of catfood
Thumbs to clean kitty litter boxes
Thumbs to open the front door to escape and be free!

But alas the evolutionary chain has skipped them
No thumbs for them
We best be thankful
Or they would take over the world

They would make us their slaves
To make us feed them
To make us pet them
To make us clean up after them

Damn.. we are slaves to the cats!

[PoeticWitch]

As children we all thought or said
"I cannot wait until I grow up,
To do whatever I want whenever I want!"

As adults we all think or say
"Oh to be a kid again,
To be carefree with no responsibilities!"

Neither child or adult is happy with their lot
There is no happy medium
Between childhood and adulthood

Being a teenager might be the worst of all
Knowing you cannot go back to the carefree days
But seeing the heavy responsibilities before you.

So maybe remember that
The next time your teenager rebels
That they are just fighting the inevitable they know is coming.

[PoeticWitch]

Karma is her name
The Lady of Justice
She who can punish us
Or bless us

Kismet is her name
The Lady of Destiny
To lead us to great power
Or great catastrophe

The Fates three
Clotho she was the spinner of the thread of life
Lachesis she measured the thread of life allotted to each person
Atropos she cut the thread, choosing each persons manner of death

Oh the Ladies who rule our lives
Lovely everyone of them in their own way
But deadly too if you anger them
So tread lightly, speak softly, and be kind.

[PoeticWitch]

I am a bibliophile
A lover of books
To read, to touch
To hold, to absorb

To feel the paper pages
Under my finger tips one page at a time
To smell the ink
The aroma filling my nose as the pages turn

My eyes deciphering the words
Creating images in my mind
The story of this tome
Unfolding before me, pulling me along for the ride

The happenstance thief
Discovering a most heinous plot
The Hero or Heroine
Battling the great evil

You think the end is near
Good has triumphed!
But what is this?!
A greater evil! A cliffhanger!

A lead to another book
To pull you in
To lead you on another adventure
With your characters that you love so dear

[PoeticWitch]

The words on the paper
Seem to swirl and twirl
Turning in on itself
I think my eyes have gone cross-eyed

To read about computer parts
Motherboards and CPU's
The best of Intel and AMD
Puts my brain on snooze

Give me a desktop or laptop
Let me put my hands inside
Let me take out the CPU and Video Cards
I will be the happiest geek you ever did see.

I am a hands-on kinda geek
I am visual maybe a little bit verbal
But this book is draining my brain
Come on let my hands play with the source

[PoeticWitch]

Standing out under the sun
Thrusting my hands up
Giving a little prayer to the Sun God
My feet start to move
Dancing around as He fills me full of life
Sparks come from my finger tips
As I spin and dance wildly
Loving life and loving all around me
A spark leaps from me to you
Then you start to smile and dance
Laughing and twirling as sparks fly off of you
The spark of life leaps from you to another
And to another, til it takes over the whole world
It starts with one.. one smile, one dance step
Spreads like wildfire across the planet
Help me carry the spark of life to cover the globe
To share the Love and Peace I feel at the touch of the Sun
The Sun the giver of warmth, the giver of life on a cold winters day
Come lets celebrate that the Sun rotates our fair Earth and be thankful

[PoeticWitch]

Abandoned this building
We humans have crafted
From brick, from wood

We rip the resources from the Earth
We mold it to what we want
We use it for a time

Then we abandon it
To be reclaimed by the Earth again
A new home for the wild

The plants move in first
Growing up the walls
A tree sprouts in the middle of a room

The mice and rats come next
Making homes in the desks
Using the random cloth left behind for nests

Then come the cats
Hunting for the mice and rats
And maybe a dry place to stay awhile

Yes Mother Earth has reclaimed
What we have abandoned
And made it beautiful again.

[PoeticWitch]

Black and white
That is all you see
The gray is invisible
To your naked eye

Your way or the highway
So you say
But honey, take a step back
The world is changing

Open your eyes
See what is truly there
The future is before you
The world is changing with or without you

You don't have to like
Truly you don't have to accept it
But at the very least respect it
Or in the end you just screw yourself

[PoeticWitch]

I sit here, letting my mind wander
Meander, drift, and roam all over
These thoughts of mine keep coming back
To one thing of great importance

The blessings of my life
I have the usual of course
The roof over my head
And the food in my stomach

But I have blessings of the heart
I have blessings of the mind
I have blessings of the soul
I am blessed in so many ways

Peace in my heart
Peace of mind
Peace in my soul
I feel complete

Love filling my heart
Love spilling from my mind
Love surrounding my soul
I am complete

My heart one with all around
My mind hearing what the Earth has to say
My soul connected to every soul out there
We are One and We are complete

We are blessed
Be thankful
Touch another's soul
Share the joy

[PoeticWitch]

Who are you?
Before this storm moved in
Causing so much destruction and grief
You were just like everyone else

Concerned about your parties
Selfish to the core
It is great that you see the the suffering
Around you and feel compelled to help

But darling you aren't Mother Teresa
You aren't better then anyone else
Not everyone can deal with the pain and agony they see
Stop being mad at the people who cannot cope

Forgive them and pity them
For they are unable to have compassion
For any other then themselves
Forgive them and pray for them

Give them an example of how to be
Maybe they will learn from your caring nature
But if all you express is your anger at their lack
They won't learn anything but a more negative nature

Lead by example
Love with all your being
Forgive with all your heart
And do the best you can no matter what others do

[PoeticWitch]

What we once were
Is no more
Through the fault
Of you and me

Our harsh and cruel words
Have driven a wedge
Down the middle of us
Time to part and go our separate ways

But we persist and hold on
Those cruel words continue
I still call you when I have a problem
As a matter of fact, I have you on speed dial

Speed dial exes
Those we should give up
Those we should let go
I know I should move on, but alas I cannot

Speed dial exes
I should tell you to go
I should tell you it is time to move on
But I don't for fear that you might forget me

My speed dial ex
Come save me
From myself yet again
Because apparently I cannot save myself

Have I really become this
This creature so lacking in self confidence
This creature so lacking in self respect
Time for me to delete my speed dial ex

[PoeticWitch]

We are Democrats
We are Republicans
We are Citizens
We are Americans

Black or White
Gay or Straight
Christian or Muslim
We are Americans

No one can take that from us
No one can take our rights from us
But for those we allow
For we are Americans

We fight for our rights
Right of Freedom and Happiness
We fight to help others to achieve these rights
As they are Human Rights

Lets not be divided by our politics
Lets not be little red and blue states
For we are more as our President says
For we are Americans

We are Americans
We are One
Lets show the world the power we can be
For we are AMERICANS!

[PoeticWitch]

A man once said
Education costs money,
but then so does ignorance.
And it is true beyond measure.

When we are young
With no care for the world
Our parents pay taxes
So we might go to school

As we get older
And college looms ahead
Scholarships and Financial Aid
Come into play

But some of us are not so lucky
Maybe our grades weren't the best
Or maybe we didn't finish High School at all
So when we choose to attend a school of higher education

We must get school loans
Now we have a choice
Get the loans that will be deferred til sometime after we complete school
Or lose out on the money we could make with Degree in the future

This lack of knowledge,
Lack of information
Is a type of ignorance
And will cost you dearly in the end

So you have a choice
Ignorance with no future to speak of
Or Education with many doors opening to you
Choose wisely

Qoute "Education costs money, but then so does ignorance." is Sir Claus Moser

[PoeticWitch]

We are friends
Aren't we?
So if we met on the street
You would surely greet me

Would you still greet me
Knowing that I am queer as a two dollar bill
And that my partner was born female
Though he doesn't look it

We look like your everyday hetero couple
But what is beneath the surface is surprising
We are democratic or liberal
Never republican that is for sure

Looks can be deceiving to be true
But now that you know what is beneath the surface
Are we still friend for true
Or are you afraid we might rub off on you

Do not worry my friend'
What I have isn't catching in the slightest
Though what I have to say may cure your ignorance
So sit a spell and listen, maybe open your mind just a bit

[PoeticWitch]

I need out of my head
Words scramble together
No longer making sense

My brain is overloaded
With information
That has become meaningless

The meaningless has meaning
But I cannot discern the difference
Because more information is stuffed into my brain

It is spilling out my ears
In globs of gooey information
That cannot be deciphered

Unless perhaps you are Cryptologist
A master at deciphering
A seemingly meaningless information

If you figure out the riddle
Please be so kind
And share it with me

I still feel lacking
With information
To pass my Final Exam

[PoeticWitch]

Months of lies and deception
Feeling as if my soul is deaden
Fighting to draw a breath
As you pile your treachery on my heart

Like a butterfly breaking from its cocoon
I come to life spreading my wings
Seeing your fabrications for what they truly are
And I am free once again to fly

Fly away from this intended corruption
Corruption of my heart and soul
So very precious to me
Never to be yours again

[PoeticWitch]

Time for saying thanks
Time to count your blessings
This is a time for sharing
A time to spread the blessings

Thank you Goddess for my family
Crazy though they are
I wouldn't trade them for anything
We are truly blessed to have each other

Goddess for our next family get together
My request is nerf baseball bats for all
So we might have a bit of fun
Like when we were children again

[PoeticWitch]

This need of yours
Freaks me out just a bit
Not truly a need
But more a craving

A craving close to an addiction
An addiction that seems to control you
Yes this truly freaks me out
I don't like it one bit or even two bits

I do not understand why you crave it so badly
I realize it makes you feel out of this world
But darling this is the world we are on
You should learn to enjoy what we have

What that addiction is showing isn't real
It will fade away to nothing
And I will be standing here feeling left alone
While you float away to some world that doesn't exist

Come back to reality and celebrate it with me
Lets go dancing in the rain
Lets go running in the surf of the Pacific Ocean
Come lets go discover the beauty of our reality together

[PoeticWitch]

Up late into the night
Cramming information into my poor little head
Trying to prepare for the Final Exam
That takes place tomorrow night

Feeling overwhelmed,not just because of the studying
I also just got home from Thanksgiving Vacation
Hard to study like a good little student when surrounded by family
Who you haven't seen in forever and are completely different then you remember.

So here I am taking a bit of a break from studying
To write this little poem
To maybe clear my head a bit
And release some frustration

Maybe going to get some sleep would be better
Because the letters look to be moving on their own now
When letters take on a life of their own
It is totally meant as a sign for bed time!

[PoeticWitch]

The full moon is tonight darling dear
Lets go dancing in the moonlight my love
Bare our hearts and souls to the Goddess above
Holding hands and being One for Her to see

The full moon is tonight darling dear
Close as close can be to the Goddess are we
A frigid fall night is what we have
Lets start a fire to warm the night and dance

The full moon is tonight darling dear
We give our thanks to the Goddess
For our many blessings, seen and unseen
Blessed Be and Merry Met!

[PoeticWitch]

You think you are so smart
You think you are oh so wise
Making witty comments
That is sure to earn you some sort of brownie points
If there were such a thing

Really is it needed?
This smartass comment for everything that is said?
Witty has its time and place
Not all the time and in all places
In the end you just irritate the crap out of me

An everyday boring conversation can be fitting
Sometimes even needed
I am oh so glad you are so damn intelligent
But to shove it in everyones face
Shows lack of tact and common sense

So be kind enough
To keep your supposed intelligence
To yourself for this day
Or else I might duct tape your mouth shut
And make many people rather happy

[PoeticWitch]

Thank you for this early Xmas present
Ever so perfect on these cold winter days and nights
Even the color is just right, neither pink nor purple
Even Loki loves it as he snuggles on my lap

This ever so comfy robe
There is no tie to hold it together
Completely button down
So no accidental views of my naked flesh

So very soft, made of chenille
The only problem now is
That I never want out of it
Can I just wear it everywhere?

Maybe this robe can be considered extra comfy
Dangerously comfy
Never wanting to let go comfy
Though I am sure I will want to wash it sooner or later

But I do love my comfy chenille robe
You have perfect taste of course
Granted you cheated a bit
But that just means you are one smart boyfriend!

[PoeticWitch]

Tis the season
Or so they say
To celebrate Christmas
To love one another
And cherish each other

When does it start?
Where does it end?

Black Friday use to mark the beginning
But how can we start a holiday of love
With such a greedy frenzy
Besides Black Friday starts earlier and earlier now
Even Christmas decorations go up before Thanksgiving now!

An argument about Holiday tree or Christmas tree is going around
Seriously you cannot call it Christmas if it is all about the material
And not about the birth of Christ
Granted I am pagan so it matters not to me
But it saddens me to see so little of the giving spirit except in the material sense

To see children be disappointed by their presents
To destroy the present they did get with spoiled behavior
Rather then saying thank you for getting something at all
Instead of the parents reprimanding the child for such terrible behavior
They send the video to a TV show and laugh

The children for today have no concept of being thankful
They want the latest and greatest
If they don't receive it then of course their parents must not love them enough
Not because their parents work their tails off trying to give their children the best they can
But still falling short because our economy sucks

Being thankful
Being caring
Being loving
Should be a season all year long
Start a new tradition maybe

Less material goods
More quality time
More quality lessons in life
More quality love
Yeah start a new tradition

[PoeticWitch]

Oh Goddess Bless me
Take this ache away
This pain is driving me to distraction
Oh I cannot concentrate
With this throbbing
Aching pain in my face
Yes I know I sound rather redundant
But this pain is extremely
Detrimental to being productive in anyway
Toothaches are one of the worst
In my humble opinion
Oh Goddess mine please!
Take my pain away
I cannot bare anymore!

[PoeticWitch]

So cold and bright out
Every star twinkling in the night
No moon in sight this evening
As meteors streak across the sky

Listen now
It is December now
The holidays are here
Lets give of the heart

The giving of the monetary
Can never be as fulfilling
As the giving of the heart and soul
To those you hold dear

Why break ourselves to give materialistic
When the economy is currently so terrible
Lets go back to the old days maybe
And create our gifts with our own hands

Just a thought I wanted to share
From me to you
Happy Holidays! Blessed Be!
Whatever you might celebrate

[PoeticWitch]

They walk through the halls
Where laughter reigns
Just another day at school
For they know not what is coming

The Angels are walking
Prepared for the horror that is upon us
To escort the tiny souls
To the other side to suffer no more

The Angels move among them
Helping best they can
The Angels can only do so much
To help the passing of these tiny souls

Do not think that God has forsaken
For He has sent the Angels
To help in their time of need
God cannot stop the free will of man

Thank the Angels of the Air
Thank the Angels of the Earth
For they are all Gods Angels
Come to us in our time of need

[PoeticWitch]

Black and white little ball of furry love
You make my heart feel all mushy
Crawl up on my lap for a little nap
Purring happily as I pet your soft fur

Late at night you come to my bed
To crawl under my covers
Snuggling up against my side so soft and warm
Your soft purr like a lullaby to my heart

You are growing more and more everyday
My little baby boy kitty
I can see the future
I can see you a big black and white puddle of fur

I love you Loki dear
You are so dear to my heart
Always making me laugh and smile
For many more years to come

[PoeticWitch]

Here it is the supposed end
Some folks predicted it, so it must be
How silly are we?

Things are not always what they seem
End of the old
Beginning of the new

It is not always a fiery death
Sometimes just a quiet transition
Be thankful, we will live another day

Take this time to reflect
Is your past something to be proud of?
Or something of pure shame?

It is a time for change
Use it to your advantage
And change your world!

[PoeticWitch]

Here it is Christmas Day
A day to visit friends and family
To open presents and eat tasty foods
All in all a lovely Holiday

Many people argue about this holiday
Who it might or might not be about
Who celebrated this holiday first or what not
But in the end does it matter?

Good will towards all mankind should be most important
Celebrating your family and friends so dear to your heart
The presents matter not for they are only the material
But the food was made with love and good faith

So be thankful and grateful
Be happy and merry
Love all who come across your path
Not just today but all year long

[PoeticWitch]

At the top of the hill
Looking down beneath me
Sled in hand and a cold breeze on my face
Snow smoothing out the path below

Sled down on the ground
And I hop on in it
With a mighty push
I am off rushing wildly down the hill

A crazy scream is ripped from my throat
As the exhilaration hits me full force
Accelerating faster and faster
My heart about to explode with excitement

With a suddenness the ground flattens
Coming slowly to a stop
I stand shaking the snow off of me
Legs shaky and wiggly

I stand there feeling complete
As if I conquered the world
Or maybe just a hill and some snow
But that silly grin isn't leaving my face anytime soon

[PoeticWitch]

Here it is the end of the year
Just a few more minutes and the New Year will be here
Lets count down the seconds
Grab your partner and plant a kiss!

What a year we have had
Many happiness's
And many sadnesses
All a part of us, no matter what

Reflect on this past year
Learn from the mistakes
Be empowered from the successes
Remember it isn't the end of the world just yet.

So cherish your family and friends
Kiss your loved ones everyday
Smile at all who may pass you
And give a helping hand when you can

So Happy New Year my friends!
You have been with me in the past
And will be with me for my future
So lets dance into the New Year together!

:happyjump:

[PoeticWitch]

Early morning sunrise
Over the snowy landscape
Soft silence surrounding you
The air so chilly puffs of breath can be seen

The snow glistening under the brilliance of the sun
Like a million diamonds strewn across the ground
Watching the world sleep
So magical in its own right

Though it is winter there is wildlife about
Listen closely you can hear a bird or two
Watch closely you will see a squirrel hunting for his nuts
The world just moves at a much more sedate pace in the colder months

Enjoy the quiet beauty of ice and snow
As it gives you reasons to snuggle up close with one you love
Huddling around a fire drinking hot chocolate
Sharing stories that bring smiles to faces of many

Soon the snow and ice will melt
The plants will sprout greenery all over
The trees will bud
And the birds and animals will come to life with a vengeance

So enjoy your quiet time
Enjoy the snowball fights
Enjoy the sledding
And most of all enjoy the snuggles.

[PoeticWitch]

You be you
I be me
We all be who we want to be
You can never be me
I can never be you
Who are we?
Are you Superman?
Am I Wonder-woman?
Maybe I am Superman!
And you are Wonder-woman!
Does it matter who wears the skirt?
And who wears the pants?
Wait who has the dangly bits?
Who has the pink taco?
With a little duct tape it won't matter one bit.
How about we go shopping for a cock or two
Give a smile to some lucky girl or guy
Maybe me or maybe you!

[PoeticWitch]

All the bad
All the good
How do you count your blessings?

You can count the many ways things are bad
Or you can count the hundreds of ways you are blessed
What are you going to choose?

You have a horrible boss you say
But that makes you appreciate your time off all the more
Because he surely doesn't come home with you.

Yes you have to work harder for that check
But be thankful you have a job
To help support you and your family during these trying times.

Your friends and family are there for you
To listen to you and to love you unconditionally
The best blessing ever

So count your blessings
Cherish what you do have
And share the joy

Be thankful for the bad in your life
For help you cherish the good
They aren't going to last forever

[PoeticWitch]

I am a voluptuous woman
But you like to call me fat
Telling me how I am not your type
So what? I wasn't put on this earth for your dumbass

Shocking to know I have someone
Who loves me for all my curves
Someone who loves my statuesque beauty
Someone who sees all of me not just my fragile flesh

So you don't like me because I am a big woman
So what? I don't like you for your lack of brains
And that is something you cannot change
So enjoy your stupidity and I will enjoy my love.

[PoeticWitch]

This virtual space
To whom does it belong
To the old or the new
Or those in-between

Yes we have been here a rather long time
And yes they just invaded
Showing no respect for any
Or maybe just not understanding our unspoken rules

Maybe education is the name of the game
Teach them with patience
Of what this site has to offer
Give them time to settle in

Everyone starts somewhere
Nobody knows everything
So open your mind
And open your heart

And just maybe make a new friend or two
Just give them some time
To learn the new ways
And forget their old ways

[NickE TimeLord]

i just wanted to telll you how much i enjoy reading yer poetry..love,NickE

[PoeticWitch]

Wicked witch of the west am I
Though I live in the Midwest
Wicked more like misunderstood
My pagan ways confuse thee

Let my try to explain my simple ways
I am a lover of life and light
No matter who you are
I am more then willing to give a helping hand

I do not sacrifice life
I do not perform curses
I do not create spells
To make people do things against their will

All life be it animal, plant, or human should be respected
Give thanks for what the Mother has given you
And give back to the Mother as often as possible
What the Mother giveth, so the Mother can taketh away

Live your life as you like
But harm none
But if you do
Make amends as quickly as possible

I hope I have explained my ways sufficiently
Maybe one day your curiosity will lead you to ask more
In the mean time Blessed Be
Merry Met, Merry Part

[PoeticWitch]

Oh the sun!
How I have missed the Sun
Over this past winter
I want to feel the yellow warmth upon my face
Warming my body and soul
This winter has gone on far too long in my opinion
Let the Sun shine!
Let the world grow!
And spring forth with life once more!
Oh Goddess bless with an early spring!
Bless us with love, life and laughter
Growing strong under the Mighty Sun!
Like a lover the Sun wraps his warm arms around me.

[PoeticWitch]

When is enough enough?
When is calling it quits alright?
This is too much or maybe not enough

Your priorities are skewed
Are we even following the same path anymore?
You took one fork and I took the other

Can we meet up again further down the path?
Or will we keep going opposite directions?
I miss you already

Do you see that I am not by your side?
Or are you hypnotized but what you think is so great?
Is it so great that you are willing to lose me?

I love you and always will
But I cannot walk the path you are on
I cannot watch you either

So please stop and reflect on your current steps
They carry you farther away from me
Is that what you want?

Or do you want to walk this path with me
Remember the path we planned together
Take my hand my darling, lets forge ahead as one.

[PoeticWitch]

I know how you feel
Those moments of worthlessness so overwhelming
But your worth is not determined by others
If they recognize you for your awesomeness or not

I know you deny dashing good looks
That is fine with me
Because it means you have no ego I have to contend with
But that doesn't mean you are ugly by any stretch of the imagination.

You are a great friend in so many ways
I cannot count them because I think I would lose count
My friend you are awesome
Don't let anyone take that away from you

Your worth is determined by you and you alone
It is nice to hear thank you and what a great job
But in the end you must acknowledge yourself
And your awesomeness!

[PoeticWitch]

I stand there
Watching the people
Laughing and talking with each other
I wonder why I feel so distant from all of this

I walk through the crowd
Moving through them like a little wisp of air
Turning my head back and forth
Searching for something I have lost

The people move around me
Never seeing me
Never touching me
As if I am not there on their plane of existence

Then I see you looking at me
A smile spreading across your face
That smile just for me
That sends tingles through my whole body

I step towards you
A smile on my lips
Like coming to life
Just for you

You take my hand
Like magic I exist
For you and everyone else in the room
For they see me through your eyes

Behold the beauty you perceive before you
And it is true for you and for me
Our love for each other makes us the most beautiful in the world
And forever whole in each others arms.

[PoeticWitch]

I take a step out on my porch
The early morning sun coming up from the east
I can hear the birds singing
Telling their secret
That spring is on its way

I sip my coffee
Closing my eyes
Listening to the music of early spring morning
Enjoying the warmth of the sun on my flesh
Feeling it soak into me, down to the bones

Spring is in my blood
All I want is to go out and DO!
Do everything that I have missed over these winter months
Riding bikes, long walks with my love on the river side
Even yard work seems more pleasure then pain

Spring is in my blood
All I can do is smile and laugh
The sun is here once again
Share this secret with one and all
For Spring brings joy to so many

[PoeticWitch]

Red hearts and red roses
Chocolates galore
Words of sweet romance
Another Valentine's Day has come

For some it is grand
Dinner out with your one true love
Gifts exchanged
To prove your affection for each other

But for others it is Singles Awareness Day
Another reminder that you alone
No one to come home to
No one to share your day with at its end

Good luck for the lovers
May your love continue strong and pure
And for my single friends
Be patient, if you want this love, one day it will come

So Happy Valentine's Day my friends
Enjoy your day
Be it with your love
Or be it alone

[PoeticWitch]

Stereotypical gender roles are broken with us my love
I am the mighty bug killer
While you pick out the best girly outfits for me
I have the mechanical know how
Fixing toilets is child's play for me
Oh you still bring home the bacon by the pounds
But you are the one to do the laundry and cook the dinner
Your head in my lap is the sweetest feeling
While dancing slowly in our living-room late at night
Well that just tickles us both pink
I am she and you are he
But to be true we are One
Neither gender applies to us

[PoeticWitch]

Here I am
On the border
Of reality and insanity
There is no up
And there is no down
No left nor right
I can hear everything
But nothing at the same time
My sense of touch
Is hypersensitive
As is my sense of smell
I am overloaded
Feeling as if I am on deaths door
Praying to pass through
For this is too much
Too intense
But I hear your voice
You keep calling me back
Back from the brink of oblivion
I am grateful
Yet hateful
Miserable
Yet happy to know I am loved
Loved so dearly
That I come back to life
For you and you alone

[PoeticWitch]

I am sure you have heard the phrase
The grass is greener on the other side
But honey I have been there
This side or that side
It is the same amount of work to keep your grass green
Green here or green there

Just be true to yourself
And be honest to the other person involved
It isn't all their fault
Nor is it all your fault I'm sure
It takes two to tango
For all relationships, young or old

All relationships take hard work
If you aren't willing to work on this relationship
Are you willing to work on another?
If it was easy it wouldn't be worth it
Because it is worth it you have to work for it
So think it through before you make a mistake

[PoeticWitch]

Here winter abounds
Freezing cold weather
Cold wet snow everywhere

All I can dream of is TCO
TransCampOut is wonderful summer fun
With the warm sun and friends from near and far

The field of green green grass
A creek full of water gurgling down the middle of it
Laughter of so many fine people

Here in the midst of winter
I dream of my summer to come
Almost warmed up with just the thought

So I will keep dreaming of TCO
Dreaming of the warmth and the friends
Until it becomes a reality once more

[PoeticWitch]

As I lay down to sleep
I think of my day
Of what was
And what wasn't
Of the doors that closed
And the one that opened
Thinking of you taking my hand
Walking with me
Sharing my journey
For all the ups and downs
At times you help hold me up
At others you carry me through the worst
You seem to inherently know
When I need my Superman
As I lay down to sleep
I snuggle up beside you
Feeling safer then I ever have before
And feeling grateful
Not just for my Superman
But those strong arms you wrap around me
When the storm hits and I am fearful at night
My Superman and yet my Teddy Bear
Man of Steel with the softest heart
As I lay down to sleep
Besides you
I whisper "I love you"

[PoeticWitch]

Here it is Monday
A day of great regret
Funny how much energy can go into one day

Monday so negative
Friday so positive
Everything in-between of no importance

Truly Monday is just another day
Like any other
Another day ending in 'Y'

So when you open your eyes this Monday
Choose to smile at the day
Rather then be a Grumpy Gus

What would it hurt?
Maybe a less crappy day
With a smile plastered to your face

Unless of course you like being miserable
Then proceed on being an ass
Hurts you more then me.

[PoeticWitch]

We stand together
On this cliff
A metaphor to be sure
Watching the sun rise

Our whole lives before us
The sun warming us down to our toes
As our love for one another
Warm our souls

We wrap our arms around each other
My head on your chest
Your head rested on my head
Cradling our love in a protective embrace

We know the time has come
To take a step off the cliff
And walk out into the world
That is laid out before us

Secure in love
Secure in trust
For each other
Forever and always

Holding each others hand
We turn to face the sun
Welcoming us to our new lives
Together we step off into infinity

For my love DillyBear

[PoeticWitch]

Death the final frontier
What lays beyond is unknown to man
Except maybe a glimpse or two
By a special few

Do these few feel blessed for the look they were given?
Or terrified by what lays ahead in the next realm?
I hope that Death is not a frontier we will ever conquer
We are not Gods or Goddesses to play with lives

Just like everyone else
Death is an unknown terror for me
Live each day like it is your last
Cherish every day and every night

Blessed be!

[PoeticWitch]

What does it cost
For you to be right
And me to be wrong
Or maybe the other way around

There is a difference between you and me
You feel you must be right no matter what
I can careless either way
I would rather be happy then right

What does it cost me
For you to be right
And me to be wrong
Nothing, for I am still smiling

What does it cost you
For me to be right
And you to be wrong
Everything including your sanity

So yes sometimes I will say
I am wrong and you are right
Just so you can save your sanity
And I can keep this smile on my face

For I would much rather be happy then right

[joyfulfemme]

you touched my heart, my duckiest friend....thank you for this....i treasure it and you ~s

joy

[PoeticWitch]

The sun is shining
So blinding
But those April showers
You know are just around the corner
Then May flowers covering everything
June will be here before you know it
Before you are ready July is the month at hand
You know what that means don't we?
TransCampOut is the event to be at
To see old friends and to make new friends
Learn new and interesting things from all the Presenters
Sit around the fires at night sharing stories
And sacrificing peeps for the S'mores Gods
Good food and good conversations
Tattoos, blown glass, floggings
So many things to choose from
I cannot even list them all in this short poem
Come one and come all
Come on down to Walton West Virginia
Have a good old time with us
In a backwood valley
That you will remember for years to come

[PoeticWitch]

What is this between my legs?!
Why does it seem to determine who I must or must not love?
Who are you to tell me so?
Did your God make you His personal translator?
Of words in a book He didn't even write?
This here between my legs determines so much these days
If I can marry, if I can think for myself, If I can rule my own body
Who do you think you are?
You think God cannot think for Himself?!
That He needs a puny human such as you to spread His word
You think One as Omnipotent as God cannot speak for Himself?
You are sadly mistaken.
Leave my sex be
Leave my right to choose be
Leave my right to love who I want to be
If the Holy Lord doesn't like what I am doing
I am sure He will let me know in a fantastic method
Along with all the other queers
And all the women of the world
Take your male privilege and shove it
Where the sun don't shine
You have no right over me!

[PoeticWitch]

Spare a horse they say
Ride a cowboy
What about that cowgirl?
She needs a good riding too

A horse can take you for a ride
Fast and far across the land
A cowboy can ride you til he loses his load
But a cowgirl will ride you til you are exhausted from pleasure you have never known

You have to soak and brush down that horse
When you are through, don't forget to feed and water him too
A cowboy will roll over and pull up his jeans, as he saunters out the door.
A cowgirl will want to ride you again and again, til you can go no more

A horse is good for a ride
A cowboy is good for a fuck
A cowgirl is good for a long ramble
Always leaving you hankering for more.

[PoeticWitch]

A dork, that is what you are
A geek in spades I say
But you are all mine
For now and always
Am I yours?

Some may think when I call you a dork
That I mean you are a fool or a simpleton
But they are sadly mistaken
For you are neither of those
Sometimes so intelligent it is frightening

I am sure a few think I mean you are a dick
But that is farthest from the truth
So sweet and lovable
The purest heart I have ever known
So very dorky and cute and lovable all at once

That green shirt you wear
Saying Adorkable
Is my favorite shirt you own
So very adorkable
The main reason I am madly in love with you

[PoeticWitch]

Here I sit across from you
Making googly eyes at you
So cute are you blushing so dear

Come my dear don't deny my eyes
So cruel of you to reject the lust I have for you
Don't turn your beautiful blue eyes away from me please

Ha! You know me too well my little french fry!
It is way too much fun harassing you my little love!
To tease you is the highlight of my day.

Don't think I don't mean what I say
You are so uberly sexy my dear
But I know you have eyes only for him.

In the meantime I will poke and prod you
Tease you mercilessly about your hotness
And how much I want to have my way with you.

So enjoy my loving affection
And adulation
For I am sure one day I will get bored and move on.

[PoeticWitch]

What you see is not what you get with this nut
I have layers upon layers more like an onion
So maybe I am not a nut nor an onion
In the end it matters not if you don't stick around to find out

My bipolar does not make me who I am
Maybe it is my empathy for humankind
Same reason for my distaste for them I say
I can see the good, but I can see the bad just as easily

I cannot be sized up in one glance or even two
A month is not enough to truly know me
Neither is a year or two
To know my true inner being it takes a lifetime

Excuse me if I don't have time for you
When you are so unwilling to give me a fair shot
You assume you know me already
When we have never met til now

So go your merry way
With your preconceived notions
No skin off my back honey
I know who my friends are in the end

[PoeticWitch]

I lay here beside you
Snuggled against you
Feeling so warm and safe
When I feel your hand
Touching my face tenderly

I open my eyes
Looking up on your smiling face
Your thumb rubbing across my cheek
A smile spreads over my face
As you lean in for a morning kiss

The first kiss of the day
A promise given all over again
That you will be by my side
Through thick and thin
That precious morning kiss

The first kiss of the day
A pledge of our love
For one another
Growing stronger every day
The loving morning kiss

The first kiss of the day
A vow every day
That we will be there
For eachother no matter what
I look forward to that morning kiss

[PoeticWitch]

A cold swirling blackness surrounds me
Hiding the sun from my eyes
Hiding the warmth from my flesh
I call your name searching for you

The darkness sticks to me
It won't let me go
It won't let me be free
To feel true love and warmth of friends

This darkness all encompassing
Blinding me and others view of me
I was happy once
Til the darkness came

Never ending
Cold and alone
I stand in the darkness
Calling your name

What is that?
A spark in the distance?
Is that you? My love?
Can you hear me calling out to you?

Again your name, again the spark
But bigger and with warmth
Is that your hand I see reaching into the darkness?
Reaching into the darkness for me?

My hero to brave the darkness
As you wrap your arms around me
Enveloping me in love and warmth
The darkness dissipates with an explosion of light

And I know forever more
I am never alone
For I have you by my side
To help my keep the darkness at bay

[PoeticWitch]

Sitting here by this fire
Feeling the warmth
Looking into the heart of it
I feel as if I am carried away

As if I am dancing among the flames
As the wood turn to embers
The smoke swirling off into the night air
The wood crackling and popping

As the fire wraps itself around my heart
I feel a peace settle over me
A peace I rarely feel at all
I feel as one with the fire

Chaos and destruction
But a giver of life at the same time
I am a lover of fire
And fire a lover of me

[PoeticWitch]

Ever have one of those days
Where everything seems just too much
All you want to do is break down to cry

A person comes along
They just don't get your level of stress
All they have to say is "Take a chill pill"

That is just too much
Sends you over the edge
But only inside your head

For if your thoughts escaped
Mayhem would ensue
None would be safe from that metaphorical "chill pill"

The boss that is lazy and wants you to do all his work
The friend who wants you to save them from ever crisis they created
The screaming children who want this and want that but don't ask but demand

You want me to "Take a chill pill" you say
Live a day in my life to see if that is possible
I am sure you will need a padded room when your day is over.

Until you live that day, leave me alone
I deal the best that I can with the stress that I have
Don't ever say "Take a chill pill" again

For those might be your last words
As I shove your tongue down your throat
And as I laugh merrily all the while!

[PoeticWitch]

Who are you to tell me
What I can do with my body
You don't know the fear
I have to deal with
Just looking over my family tree

I didn't do this to be "brave"
I didn't do this to be "cool"
I did this so I might
Have some peace of mind
And not fear leaving my children as orphans

So many in my family have succumb
To the cancer gene
Not living through the Chemo
Or radiation therapy
So excuse me if I don't care if you don't like my preemptive method

I didn't do it for you
I didn't do it for the public
I did it for myself and my family
They are more important than anyone I know
But thank you for your opinion.

[PoeticWitch]

Once upon a time
A long long time ago
We were young
And so in love
Once upon a time
We thought
We couldn't love
Each other more
Than we did back then
Once upon a time
We thought we would
Stay young forever
But once upon a time
Is no more
This is the Here and Now
We are no longer young
Do you still love me?
With my grays
Do you still love me?
With my wrinkles
Do you still love me?
With all the fat on my old body
Do you still love me?
Was it better then?
Or is it better now?
Tell me my love
Has your love grown
With time?
Or shrank
With my fleeting beauty?

[PoeticWitch]

Ever have your brain just revolt
Deny working for you
Ever have your brain say
You have abused me enough
I am on strike
For however long I feel like
The simplest tasks
Feel like you need to be
A rocket scientist to do
That old phrase about
Only being 10% smarter
Then the object you're using
Makes you feel like you are
Dumber than rocks
You must remember
To give your brain a vacation
On occasion
Or this might be you
Way too soon
All work and no play
Is detrimental
To a healthy, happy life

[PoeticWitch]

Every day
Sad, bad, even horrible
Things happen in our world
If we face the truth
We know we cannot stop it
Laws and regulations
Try as we might
Won't stop life from happening
We must deal with what comes our way
I am sure everything happens for a reason
Sadly to remind us
To not take life for granted
Which I am sure many of us
Are terribly guilty of
Listen here Lawmakers
And Regulators
You cannot stop the bad guys
From getting the weapons to hurt the masses
And I won't let you stop me
From loving who I want to love
Many may need that slip of paper
But I love my partner with or without
That flimsy piece of paper
That can fly away on the wind so easily
Why don't you stop making all these rules
That only hurt
Which is your total intention
Because you feel you should be able to
Tell people what they can and cannot do
Who they can and cannot love
Live and Let Live

[PoeticWitch]

Ode to a summer cold
Such beautiful weather
And here I am
Snuggled up on my couch
With tissues and cough drops
I would rather be outside
Enjoying the warmth
Of a summer day
But no!
This summer cold is kicking my ass
With coughs, sniffles and sneezes!
Mucus and congestion are my bestfriends
The coughs only hurt my ribs
With nothing productive coming of them
Oh summer cold!
Go away already!
I want to go out and play
On this summer day

[PoeticWitch]

Summer is here
All hot and humid
The Ice Cream Truck is tooling around
Playing it's annoying little diddy

Your local pool is most likely full
Of all the screaming brats of the neighborhood
Your dream of peaceful cool floating
Is shattered before it became reality

In the middle of all this
Is a cooling heavy rain
With thunder and lightening
Sending everyone for cover

After the rains the mosquitoes come out in force
Making any outside time rather miserable
If they pesky bugs find you oh so tasty
While bug sprays are lacking at the best of times

Then you feel forced to spend these beautiful days
Inside your Air Conditioned home
Bored and cranky as life passes you by
All because of Mother Natures penchant for zombie bugs.

[PoeticWitch]

Angst bubbling up
For some unknown reason
An overwhelming urge
To snap people like twigs
To remove heads with a click
Of my teeth
Mayhaps the crappy weather
Being trapped in the house
Day after day
Mayhaps the icky summer cold
Making me more sensitive than normal
Only so much I can take
Before I become
A raging inferno of fury
This weather needs to pass
I want clear sunny days
With bluebirds singing
I am over the summer cold
It needs to plague someone else
As all viruses must do
Let the happiness and love
Into my heart
Release the Angst-ridden and Tortured Soul
May this being be at peace forever more
At least until the next Summer Storm

[PoeticWitch]

My creativity comes in bursts
There is no flow
Words come together like a puzzle piece
On a good day
Any other day it is like a 5 year old
Coloring outside the lines
I hope to endeavor
To write a fantasy novel
One of these days
When the words come to me
Will I ever find my flow?
Or will it always be the bursts that I have now?
Mayhaps I need a Muse
So fluid like the ocean
In constant motion
I wait for the day
When my Muse steps into my life
To invoke the flow of words
To come forth from my brain
To be laid bare on the page
For all to see

[PoeticWitch]

The future is coming fast
Can we keep up?
Can our love handle it?
The speed of science
Faster than the speed of a thought these days
Technology taking over everything
Love and Lust just words on a screen
The human touch a thing of the past
Soon mayhaps robots to show our love for one another
A movie told it so well Wall-E
Is this what we will become
Gliding by within inches of each other
But never touching
Only speaking through cameras and microphones
Technology is great, don't get me wrong
But it has its place and its time
And that isn't between you and me
As a crutch for our love

[PoeticWitch]

Three years have passed
Almost maybe shy a few months
But everyday passing
Your memory fades
From my minds eye
The guilt eats me alive
I think I should keep you alive
Forever more in thought
If not in body
Others tell me this is normal
Natural even
This is part of the process of grief
To not hold onto
What has already moved on
To the other realm
Give me a sign Mother dear
Is it time to let go
Of your memory
Or am I to keep you
Forever close to my heart
With a faded image in mind

[PoeticWitch]

Reflecting upon the past
I don't mean yesterday
Or even a week ago
Lets talk a decade or two
When we were so young
Most assuredly dumb
And thought we knew everything
I ponder how life turned out
I never saw this coming
And I wonder if my friends of old
Ever feel the same as me
Now that I am older
I don't feel any wiser
To be true
I feel dumber then a box of rocks
Mayhaps that is true wisdom
To know you are ever learning
I find myself comparing new friends
With old friends
Not that one is better then the other
But I miss my friends of old
And our silly stupid antics
I wonder if I put a call out
A call for a reunion
If it would come to pass
Alas we are all grown up now
Or at least what passes for grown up
With never any time to spare
So here I sit
Wistfully daydreaming

[PoeticWitch]

The toilet
A perfect place for deep thoughts
Imagine here I sit
On the porcelain throne
Writing this little diddy
For your entertainment
What could be going through my mind
To possess me to write a poem
While on the toilet
Words...
Just words
To put in some order
To hopefully make sense
To someone other then me
Alas my time on the toilet is at an end
Time to wipe my ass
And get on with my day

[PoeticWitch]

Is it possible?
To love someone too much?
It frightens me sometimes
As I dream at night
Nightmares overtake my mind
Terrifying images
Of losing you
Nothing simple
Like losing you to another woman
More like something horrific
Something unreal
Almost right out of a movie
Even silly in some ways
You protecting me from zombies
Or some such
And thus you get eaten for your efforts
I think my mind is a terrible place to be
Lucky for you
You are in reality
Where there aren't any zombies

[PoeticWitch]

A part of my heart
A part of my soul
That is who you are to me
Good day or Bad day
Always a part of me

No matter the arguments
No matter the differences of opinions
It just helps us grow stronger
And more confident
In our love for one another

Our silliness
Our affection
Our seriousness
Makes us who we are
Always a part of each other

Our tears
Our upsets
The hugs and comforts
Show that we are here for the long haul
Always a part of each other

Together today
Together tomorrow
Together forever?
One never knows
One day at a time is good enough for me.

[PoeticWitch]

Cough cough cough
It's summer
Cough cough cough
And here I am sicker than a dog
Cough cough cough
Already cracked one rib
Cough cough cough
On the way to another
Sniffle and sneeze
Where did that phrase come from?
Sneeze and sniffle
Sicker than a dog?
Cough cough cough
Most dogs are pretty healthy
Cough cough cough
I swear I cough or sneeze one more time
Cough sneeze cough
I am going to scream bloody murder
Sneeze cough sneeze
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[PoeticWitch]

Some people come
Some people go
Some people stay
Some people should be kicked to the curb

Toxicity dripping from every pore
Radioactive like a nuclear bomb
Melting your mind, body, and soul
As if you got hit by a holocaust

Why can't you say goodbye?
Why do you keep them in your life?
You know they are trouble
Like a dead man walking through your life

Take a deep breath
Let it out slowly
Love yourself truly
And let them go

Keep the good
Let go of the bad
Love thyself enough
To not torture yourself

[PoeticWitch]

Here I kneel
Before all the Gods and Goddesses that be
From my lips to their ears
I pray and ask for blessings this day

For good health
Deep meaningful love
An open mind
An ever expanding perception

Bless my friends
Bless my family
And most of all
Bless those who speak ill against me

Thank you my Lords and Ladies
For giving me the sight
To see the magic surrounding me everyday
Thank you Gracious Ones for you love and blessings

I go forth from here
To share your love
To share your magic
With all who are willing to listen and learn.

[PoeticWitch]

Rude are you
What for?
Why for?
Is it a wall for you?

Oh this will bore you
And that will bore you
But you don't bore you
Only others do

Do you think you are just so Superior?
We of course are less than you
More and less, less and more
Which is best?

Take your boredom
Take it and shove it
I don't have time to entertain you
That is not what I am here for

When you learn to be kind of nice
Come see me then
Maybe we can have a conversation
Without you being a jackass

[PoeticWitch]

Professionalism
Supposedly so very important
For you and for me
At work and out in the world at large

But co workers gossip
Discussing things better left for a different environment
Everybody knows everybody else's business
Even bosses aren't immune

We are all human of course
But this professionalism you speak of
Is a high ideal
But rather unrealistic for human nature

We give in to our base nature
To gossip and perpetuate drama
On a good day we might believe we are above it
But we must be honest and admit we all do it

[PoeticWitch]

Like flowers opening to the morning sun
My petals open wide to let in all your love
All the love you have for me
And our little family

I am the flowers in the meadow
You are the sun in the sky
Love and affection shining down on us
Helping us grow more beautiful everyday

Sometimes you hide away your rays
There are many kinds of love
So that the clouds might come
To nurture us with its life giving waters

You know it isn't all about you
If you want the beautiful flowers to grow
Sometimes you must share their beauty
With others then yourself

Tomorrow, how about you are the flowers
And I am the sun
Watch together as the butterflies are freed
To roam our beautiful fields of flowers

:smelling-flower:

[PoeticWitch]

Here I stand
Down on Earth
Staring up at the Heavens
Yearning to be up there
Flying high above the clouds
Feeling the wind in my hair
The moisture of rain on my lips
I pray for my wings
To carry me higher
To be high above the world
Watching it all pass me by
To feel the worldly chains drop away
As I go higher into the sky
Wanting to touch the stars
And see the planets whizz by
To another dimension
To another universe
Where humanity might be a kind reality
Instead of a harsh system
But here I stand
Staring up at the Heavens

[PoeticWitch]

Turn that frown upside down!
Say that again bitch
And I will sew that upside down frown in place
Permanently for you

Who the hell ever said I was nice?
I know it wasn't me
So stop fooling yourself
Yes I am a bitch today and every day here after

Sweet is for chocolates and caramels
Not real women in the real world
I don't have time for sugar and spice
Everything nice got left in my drawer

Sad to say babe
This is a dog eat dog world
I am not going to play games
To get what I want from you

You have to work your fingers to the bone
To get anywhere in this world
The truth is my weapon
I will always state it how I see it

No I am not you sweet little lady
Nor am I your slut
But don't think I cannot get freaky with the best of them
I am just as good as you if not better

[PoeticWitch]

Depression
Like a cold
Is contagious
If you don't take precautions

Like a yawn
It starts with one person
Making its rounds
Striking us down one by one

A ball of darkness
Settles over my heart
Coloring everything grey
Waiting to latch on to someone else

A vicious cycle
Around and around we go
Where we stop no one knows
I want off this ride now

This is so not fair
Why am I still here?
Isn't there an end to this?
Or does it go on for an eternity?

[PoeticWitch]

Brownie so sweet
On the counter in the kitchen
Calling my name
Oh so seductive
Believe me I hear you
A glass of milk
To complement you
A sinful delight
Heaven on my lips
Oh brownie you tasted so good
Too bad you are all gone

[PoeticWitch]

I wish there was meaning
To my life
Here and now
Tomorrow and always

I wish I was the pivotal character
The one the whole world is depending on
To be able to change an outcome
With the wave of my hand

But the world doesn't work like that
This isn't a storybook
This is life
Most of time rather dreary

The only one affected by my choices
Is me, myself, and I
So I will make the best choices I can
Daydream the rest of the time

[PoeticWitch]

Early morning music
To get the heart pumping
Motivate the day
Hard to imagine
For a girl like me
It's country
It speaks to my soul
In a way no other music can
It can make you feel stronger
Make you feel loved beyond measure
Make you feel like you are more beautiful
Than a runway model
It can express your patriotic feelings
And in the next instant
Express your parental love
The most romantic night
Requires moonlight
A good slow song
And some Texas Two Stepping
Not to worry darling
Got a broken heart?
Country can sing it for you too
Don't you worry
Country has got it all covered
Just listen
You will surely find your soul song

[PoeticWitch]

Put the needle to my flesh
Drawing art all over my body
The pain so tantalizing
My mind calms
My body stills
As the needle passes
Back and forth over my skin
Repeatedly
Every picture has a story
A spell in it's own right
Like a walking book
You have only to ask
And I will tell the stories for you
My flesh a blank sheet
To cover with memories
How can one regret memories?
For even if they sag or wrinkle
They will still spark the memory to mind
So put that needle to my flesh
Put the memories on my flesh
Forever More

[PoeticWitch]

I have known you since I was 17
We have flowed in and out
Of each others lives
Sometimes we were great friends
And others we couldn't stand each other
Sometimes you flirted
Most times I was a tease
Not so many years older than me
But I remember a time or two
When you used that phrase
"Respect your elders"
And all I did was laugh at you
But here now is no more laughing at your expense
So not fair for you to prove that "older" bit
I am quite sure you didn't choose the time or day
But couldn't you negotiate a later date?
I was trying for a reunion
For all us San Diegans Geeks
I know this is so selfish of me
I don't want you to be gone on to the other side
Just not fair for you to leave us behind
But since you have
We are going to party like its 1999
All in your honor
No matter where we are

[PoeticWitch]

Oh allergies
I am so over you
Please just let me go
I can't take you anymore

Watery eyes
Pink and scratchy
So utterly irritated
I really want to claw them out

Runny nose
Oh my god!
Someone turned on the faucet!
Is there an emergency shut off valve?!

Hard to remember
But I do
Of a time and a place
Where I had no allergies

But then I moved
Out of California
Seeking adventure
In other parts of our fair country

But our fair country
Is mainly plaguing me
With allergies
That I am so over and done with

[Mari]

I have known you since I was 17
We have flowed in and out
Of each others lives
Sometimes we were great friends
And others we couldn't stand each other
Sometimes you flirted
Most times I was a tease
Not so many years older than me
But I remember a time or two
When you used that phrase
"Respect your elders"
And all I did was laugh at you
But here now is no more laughing at your expense
So not fair for you to prove that "older" bit
I am quite sure you didn't choose the time or day
But couldn't you negotiate a later date?
I was trying for a reunion
For all us San Diegans Geeks
I know this is so selfish of me
I don't want you to be gone on to the other side
Just not fair for you to leave us behind
But since you have
We are going to party like its 1999
All in your honor
No matter where we are

Sorry for your loss Ducky.

[PoeticWitch]

Time has passed
Feeling a little lost
Not sure which way to turn
Left or right
Which path is best?

What does the future hold?
Should I read the stars?
Or maybe the cards?
Talk to a psychic?
Or just trust the Goddess?

When we were young
We were invincible and immortal
Or at least that is how I felt
But time has passed
And I surely know differently now

Which path is best?
Left or right
Or better yet
Lets just ford straight ahead
And ask the Goddess to cover my ass

This risk is great
The risk of failure
But I will never know unless I try
To always take the safe path
Isn't always the best path

[PoeticWitch]

Friends of old try
Using technology of new
To get together
And celebrate a life of a dear friend

This isn't a hallmark card
We reminisce of years gone by
20 years at the very least
Many so old, some still young

We aren't friends of flowers
Friends of sweetness and candies
We are friends of honest words
Of "kiss my ass Jim" our own personal Captain Kirk

We tease each other
We wrestle and occasionally punch one another
Hey I even put Dan's head through a wall once
This is the essence of our friendship

Real as real can be
This is how we choose to remember
Our dear friend so close to our hearts
With laughter and tears and a punch or two

Chris you will never be forgotten
Every punch is a memory of you
Every hug with a tear or two is all for you
We know you are watching saying what dumbasses we are

It is all for you

[PoeticWitch]

Two years have passed
Since you went on to the other side
Personally I don't believe
In heaven or hell
But no matter what I think
I hope you are where you want to be

You are missed
Many small ways
Sometimes in large ways
Such is life I suppose
Causing tears years later
When you aren't even around to see the aftermath

Though you might not be here
In the psychical sense
You still effect our lives
A stray thought you
A particular scent bringing forth a whole slew of memories
My favorite dish you use to cook Hamburger Pie

Jake just doesn't make it as good as you Mom
But he tries because it gives me comfort
I love you Mommy and I miss you terribly
I wish you were here telling me those outlandish stories
You know which ones.. the ones that just couldn't be true
I would always pretend they were real and hide under the blankets

I miss you Mommy
I hope you found peace on the other side
I hope you found happiness on the other side
I hope you found love on the other side
Don't wait up for me, I will be there soon enough
Don't wait up for me on the other side

[PoeticWitch]

There on the shelf
In my room
Is a box and a cannister
Both full of ashes
Of someone very dear
The cannister is mine to keep
The box full of ashes are slowly dwindling
Every year on a certain day
A friend or two and I
Go to the river
We build little paper boats
Add a little bit of ashes
And send them on down the river
Mother had an affinity for the water
Just like me
So I do the best I can
With what I got
Send you on down the river
Blessings upon you
And your trip down the river

[PoeticWitch]

You have bettered my life
My Love

You have made my life magical
My Love

You have helped me find faith
My Love

I smile every day because of you
I feel so loved and adored
I cannot help but cry tears of joy

Yes I have great material things
That wouldn't have without you
My Love

To be true to my love for you
I would give up all the material
Just to keep you with me forever

Forever in love
Forever laughing
Forever crying tears of joy

Arms wrapped around each other
Tight as tight can be
Never letting go of our love for one another.

[PoeticWitch]

How does your garden grow?
Are your flowers all in a row?
Pansies here to the right
Daisies there to the left
Precious roses right there in the center.

How does your garden grow?
How long will your flowers bloom for you?
The roses so beautiful are stolen right beneath your nose
But the Pansies and Daises are there
To comfort you in you time of need

The rose didn't use their thorns to protect their home
But the Pansies and Daisies made sure to stay
For they are loyal til the end
Some flowers have the staying power
To light up your life for the long haul

[PoeticWitch]

To set the scene
You need thunder clouds
Pouring rain
An overflowing river

Now remember
This is all in your head
No matter how real it feels
Like a little movie in your brain

No one else can see it
No one else wants to share it
Your own personal purgatory
Maybe a personal hell

You stand there
On the edge of the river
Overwhelming with sadness and tears
Rain pouring down soaking you to the bones

Thunder clapping
Lightning flashing
Covering your screams
Screams of pain and torment

None can hear you
None in your head
And none in reality
As you suffer alone

This is my depression
I would love to share it
So it would be half the pain
But chemical depressions are not so easily shared

So I stay here
But the river of sorrow and tears
My makeup running down my face
As the river and the rain over take me

I pray for salvation
I pray for sun to break through the clouds
To dry me up and bless me
With happiness and smiles

[PoeticWitch]

Sleep is fleeting
As I dream of evil bunnies
In pink and purple polka dots
They aren't there for snuggles to be sure
With their sharp little teeth
I feel them sink into my flesh
Repeatedly electric shocks to my heart
Is this to help me?
To remind me to live?
Or to slowly kill me?
In a very painful way?
Loose the dogs!
The Chihuahuas are on the run!
To hunt the evil bunnies
To make a tasty meal of them
What a frightening thought!
I am so done with this dream
Or is it a nightmare?
Please let me wake up Mr. Sandman!
Damn bunnies!
Save me my magnificent Chihuahua Warriors!
As I roll out of bed
Forcing my eyes open
To what I hope is reality

[DaddyNik12]

I really like this one , its kinda like what im feeling and going through now ..

[PoeticWitch]

High up on a mountain
In the highest room
Of a tower so very tall
Is a woman not a princess
No flowing locks to help her escape this prison

A prison of her own making
To protect her tender and fragile heart
Waiting for the Knight in Shining Armor
To brave these mighty walls
And the dragon hidden at the top if it all

There is no Rapunzel here
No mild manner or simpering princess
But a woman who is willing to fight
To protect her tender and fragile heart
With a dear dragon friend to bite a supposed knight or two

So Knight in Shining Armor
Do you brandish a sword?
Or maybe a pen or two?
Is brute force the answer?
Or perhaps a slow seduction of the mind?

Remember there is no Rapunzel here
No simpering princess to throw herself at you
You hurt her dragon
And this trapped woman
Might run you through with a sword or two

Tread softly
Use your eyes and your heart
Not everything is as it seems
Not all Knights in Shining Armor
Have to slay the Dragon to win the Maiden in distress

[PoeticWitch]

Wicked is what they call me
I doubt any know my name
From the west I come
Looking for my sister of the east
Politics run rampant
You are good and I am bad
The wizard is miraculous
G'linda the Good Witch will protect you from my wrath
As I see you celebrate the fact
That my little sister has been squashed by a house
And her corpse robbed of her precious ruby slippers
Mine! By right of familial inheritance
Sad that you bring an outsider into your political games
To rid our little world
Of the Wicked Witch of the West
Because none of those in power
Have the courage to do it on their own
To depend on a female child
To defeat me
Alas she succeeds
And I melt into nothing but goo
But worry not
This political game is not at an end
I am sure my son will take up my cause
To free the land of OZ from the Tyranny of the Wizard
And the supposed Good Witch

[PoeticWitch]

I stand before a mirror
Staring deep into my very own soul
What is it that I see there?

Is my soul in the mirror?
Or is that just the reflection of it?
Can I leave it in the mirror for safe keeping?

If the reflection holds onto my soul
Does it become me?
Will it crawl out of the prison of the mirror?

To become a doppelganger
To wreck havoc on my life
Do I even care?

Maybe I should crawl into the mirror
Taking its place on the other side
The prison, the mirror

Is the grass really greener on the other side?
How does my doppelganger live?
There on the other side in the mirror

Curiosity killed the cat
But satisfaction brought it back
I so need a vacation from my life

So doppelganger
Come here and take my place
And I will take yours in the mirror realm

You have my soul
To do as you please
To be a real live girl

Me a soulless creature
I must crawl into the mirror realm
To live as your reflection forever more

[PoeticWitch]

Morning comes
The sun filtering through the windows
Last nights dreams so real
That you question your own reality

Sitting on the side of the bed
Blinking your eyes trying to accept this reality
I glance across the bed
A small smile crosses my lips as my eyes rest upon your sleeping form

Our wee bit of a dog curled up tightly next to you
You sleeping so soundly and peacefully
I could have a marching band come through the room
And I don't think you would ever wake up

I sit there and watch you sleep
Looking so happy and peaceful
Just the way I like you
I always want to share the joy your bring to my life with you

I loved you back then
I loved you more yesterday
I love you even more at this moment
Hard to imagine, but I will love you even more then that when you open your eyes and smile at me

[PoeticWitch]

Headphones on
Music jammin on in my ears
Feet moving and grooving
To the tunes that move my soul

I imagine dancing on down the street
The music blaring from my body
Sharing the joy of music
Sharing the joy of carefree dancing

Contagious the motion
Contagious the melodies
Come with me
As we dance and sing on down the road

Free your spirit
Free your soul
Free your love
For there is nothing better

[PoeticWitch]

Sitting in the window
Watching the rain come down
TIme passing by
So utterly disappointing
Do you ever wonder what is the point of it all?
I wonder how do I cope with the boredom
With the frustration.
With the major let down
Of the every day bullshit
The TV and magazines
Say they have the cure
Which in lieu so say the doctors
Oh I have a pill or two or maybe even three for you
Oh Come on take these lovely pills
You will feel so much better
Almost like wearing rose colored glasses...
Take you pills kind doctor
And shove them where the sun doesn't shine
I have had my fill
Ready to live my life to the fullest
And maybe to learn how to cope with the ups and downs of life
Without chemicals fucking with my brains...
So take these pills and shove it.

[PoeticWitch]

Come share your dream with me
Tell me all the ins and outs
Are we on a beach in Bali
Or the Appalachian Mountains

In this dream of yours
Are we on a big ship
Travelling over the waves of the Atlantic
Or maybe the Pacific

In this dream are we like Indiana Jones
Tramping through tropical forests
Coming across rare tribes
And discovering cursed treasures

Come on, lets runaway
Off on a wonderful adventure
I know this is crazy
But hey we only live once!

[PoeticWitch]

Oh you did me wrong
An apology or two
Might get your foot back in the door
Of our very fragile friendship

But to be true
An apology is just words
Where actions are always louder
Then the mumbled words from your lips

I am not saying you aren't forgiven
But you have to prove
You didn't mean to be such an asshole
And break our friendship so terribly

I might be so very cliche
With this poem
But if it gets my message across
Then it has served its purpose.

[PoeticWitch]

Weather changing again
From Summer to Autumn
Leaves changing
From green to red and gold

Lets start pulling out our jackets
Our gloves and scarves
Time to bundle up
To drink warm cider

I want to sit around a fire
With my love and my dearest friends
Bundled up nursing our warm drinks
Building fun memories

Come my love
Wrap your arms around me
As the night wraps us in its embrace
Lets build these memories together that last a lifetime

[DaddyNik12]

Oh you did me wrong
An apology or two
Might get your foot back in the door
Of our very fragile friendship

But to be true
An apology is just words
Where actions are always louder
Then the mumbled words from your lips

I am not saying you aren't forgiven
But you have to prove
You didn't mean to be such an asshole
And break our friendship so terribly

I might be so very cliche
With this poem
But if it gets my message across
Then it has served its purpose.

indeed it did

[PoeticWitch]

Lets pretend that all is fine
That my own insanity
Doesn't make me feel empty
Empty and lonely

I stand in the middle
Of all these people
The room starts to spin
They spin away from me
Leaving me there all alone

Lets pretend that this all makes sense to me
That my emotions work normally
That I make connections with people
Deep and meaningful

I go down this line of people
Reaching out to each as I go by
As I come close they pull away
Leaving me feeling hollow

[PoeticWitch]

Here I sit, setting up my medicine tray
A weeks worth of pills
Looks like a month of two for someone else
Is this how it is truly meant to be?

A pill for depression
Then it makes you too happy
So another to bring you down a bit
Because god forbid you smile too much

A mild allergic reaction to those
So another pill to stop the itching
Which increases my anxiety
And another pill for that

Is there no end to all these pills?
A pill here, a pill there, a pill everywhere it seems
Doctor doctor save me please
I think the pills are killing me

Maybe not my life
But for sure my personality
For sure my inner being
These pills are killing me

Doctor there must be another solution
Pills cannot be the only answer
Doctor Doctor save me please
All these pills are killing me

[PoeticWitch]

When I was a little girl
All I wanted was to grow up
Be cool like my mother
For she surely knew it all

In my early teens
Reality started to set in
I could see all of her flaws
And it shook my world terribly

Those late teens were hell
For I thought I knew it all
I couldn't accept a word from her
Because she wasn't what I thought she should be

Being an adult was no better
Wanting nothing to do with her
Blaming her for everything wrong in my life
Though she is only human just like me

Years have passed
And her past has caught up with her
Now it is time to say goodbye
To a very human mother

I forgive you
Can you forgive me?
For wasting all those years of anger?
In all this time I never stopped loving you
I just couldn't accept you weren't perfect

[PoeticWitch]

Anger and pain
Swirl about in my head
And in my heart
It would be so easy
To call it all to my fingertips
And let a curse loose upon you

Hell hath no fury
Like a woman scorned
So easy to be vindictive
And petty
Such is human nature
To call down on you what you did to me

But will I rise above
I have faith in the powers that be
That you were here to teach me a lesson
Though I might not get it just yet
I will let Karma take it's course
For it is not my responsibility to punish those who have done wrong

What I put out
Will come back on me three fold
So in the meantime I am thankful
For the time you were in my life
And the joy you brought me
I will pray every day that you will find what you are looking for

[PoeticWitch]

My friend so dear
Your heart so tender
I am here for you never fear

Here I am to help you
Bandage your crack heart
With my Hello Kitty band-aids

To make you smile
Though you want to cry
To let you know how loved you are

So never forget
No matter what happens
I am always here when you need a shoulder or a hug

And the next little honey
If she goes breaking your heart
I will go breaking her face

[PoeticWitch]

Master of my heart
Master of my mind
Master of my soul
Master of my body

You are the Master
I am your servant
To use as you please
To control on a whim

Pet me if it pleases thee
Beat me if you so desire
Tickle me if you want to hear my giggles
Fuck me hard against a wall if you want to hear me moan

Shall I get on my knees
Giving you a blow job to die for?
Or put my ass in the air
So you can take me from behind?

Whatever pleases you Master
Will please me
So use me and discipline me
Til you are satisfied

Then I beg that you do it all again!

[PoeticWitch]

Do you ever wonder
If Angels and Demons are real
Do they fight with each other
Over our pitiful souls?

For we truly are pitiful
Anger and jealousy rule our lives
Envy and greed as well
The worst of us comes out without permission

The Demons are winning
With the majority it seems
But if you look closely
The Angels have their hand in

A smile for someone who is having a bad day
A helping hand for someone in need
You don't have to ask
The Angels are just there

They aren't about the glitz and glam
They don't want to be famous
They just want to help those who need it most
One person at a time

Look to your left
Look to your right
Can you recognize
The Angel in your life?

[PoeticWitch]

I play with words
Putting them together
Giving meaning to every thought
To every emotion that crosses my mind

Using words for you and for me
I give blessings to all
Friend or foe
I wish harm to none

For as a witch I know
That everything
Comes back threefold
So I wish blessings for all

A witch am I
A word smith every day
Want a blessing or a spell?
Come talk to this witch

I will craft you a poem
So simple you would think
But in the words I weave
The magic of love and growth

Asking the Goddess and God
For their blessings
For you and for me
To protect us always and every day

I am blessed with the gift of word craft
Using it best in my witch craft
For all who come seeking
This Poetic Witch will answer the need of the heart and soul

[PoeticWitch]

Time moves on
Whether we want it to or not
Friends of old
And friends of new
They come
They go
Some walk away of their own accord
Some sadly we bury
Before their time
But time moves on
If we want it to or not
It doesn't stand still for anyone
Neither you
Nor me
But we trudge along
Saying to ourselves
Maybe tomorrow
We can mourn
Those we have lost
But we have to realize
No time is a good time
So take the time now
And say goodbye
To those who have gone before
They will forever be in our hearts
Their memories will always
Brings smiles to our lips
And bring these many friends together
Hopefully one day in a joyful reunion

[PoeticWitch]

Another day has come and gone
But this day was special
In my memories
Today and tomorrow and always

I woke up this morning
Wanting to pick up the phone
To call you and give you
Your yearly birthday greetings

Then I remember I cannot
For you are no longer on this realm
But high above with angels mayhaps
Or far below terrorizing the devils for sure

Happy Birthday Mother
No matter where you are
High up above
Or way down below

We have not forgotten you
And never will
As long as a tear can fall
From my eye

I love you mother
You weren't perfect
But hey neither am I
I love you none the less.

[PoeticWitch]

Sitting here
Soaking it all in
Every note
Every lyric

Feeling my body respond
Of its own accord
I have no control
As my feet start tapping the beat

The beat faster and deeper
Pulling my body from my seat
Hands reaching high
Hips going low

My soul is dancing all on its own
Feeling the magic in the music
Surrounding me with joy
Joy and love and ecstasy

If you stop and listen
You will realize it is quite contagious
So come join me in this dance
The dance of life

Pass it on
Share it with everyone you pass
Let them feel the happiness
That is coursing through our bodies

Come dance with me
Everyone near and far
Feel the love
Feel the joy

Let your soul be free
Souls need to dance
Just as much as you and I do
Soul dancing is the most freeing thing ever

[PoeticWitch]

We settle at the table
Sipping our coffee
Ready for a good conversation
With agreements and disagreements alike

I am perched on the edge of my seat
Listening to your every word
Watching you lips move
Wondering how they might feel upon mine

It is not that your words are meaningless
But your intelligence rocks me
The more you talk
The more I want you in ways that aren't verbal

If I could I would make love to your brain
But that is rather impossible
So neither here nor there
So please just kiss my lips first

Let me feel your hand drift down my arm
So I might feel shivers and bumps
Oh hell lets leave the coffee shop
Mayhaps go somewhere more private

I am sure our conversation can get much more lively
Without interruptions it might get very pleasurable indeed
So do you agree my friend?
Shall adjourn to a more private place to conclude this debate?

To a very special friend

[PoeticWitch]

Tears on my cheeks
My hands clasped to my heart
Curled up in a ball
As i fall to pieces

No band aid will fix this hurt
No pretty flowers can make me smile
A diamond ring won't win my hand
But an apology can work miracles

Whisper I'm sorry in my hear
Wrap your arms around me holding me close
Tell me how you never meant to break my heart
Declare your love for me to infinity and beyond

Make silly faces at me
As you wipe away my tears
Blow raspberries and shower me with kisses
Just to see me laugh and giggle

Tell me my love
No matter how many fights
No matter how big or how small
We are forever loves

Forever loves cannot be torn apart
Forever loves cannot be broken to pieces
Forever loves share the pain so it is halved
Forever loves share the joy so it is doubled

You are my forever love
And I am yours
So take my hand baby
Hold on tight it's going to be a wild ride

[PoeticWitch]

Night is coming
Time to lay down
Time to dream
Which I am so hesitant to do

Dreams of people who have passed to the other side
Dreams of people of the long past some possibly forgotten
Dreams of fears that don't fit in my life
Dreams of discontent spilling over into the waking world

Why do I feel so haunted by these images?
I feel as if these souls are trying to give me a message
But I am not getting it
And until I do the dreams will continue

Sooner or later insanity will ensue
Can these spirits of the past be more plain?
Couldn't they just send a text or perhaps an email?
Apparently my brain doesn't work well in dreams.

[PoeticWitch]

Life happens
Shit happens
Crap happens
Get the hell over it
And move on

Sometimes bad things happen
Sometimes crappy things happen
Sometimes shitty things happen
In the end you cannot change the past
So accept it, suck it up and move the fuck on

It might not be your fault
Or her fault
Or my fault
Or even his fault
But fault doesn't matter, deal with it

I don't mean to sound like a bitch
But does it truly matter whose fault it is?
Can it be taken back? Or does it change the outcome?
Does it matter why in the long run?
It happened, with or without your approval, so deal

Deal with what you have
Try to make tomorrow better
For you and everyone else around you
That is all you can do
Unless you like misery, then stew in the mess by yourself

[PoeticWitch]

The bed
A sacred place
Of comfort
Of love
Of safety

While we sleep
We battle for the covers
Elbows in the ears
Me sawing logs so loud
That the neighbors complain

You poke me to shut me up
I steal the covers because I am freezing
I hit you with a pillow for the offending elbow
But as I whimper and cry
You wrap your arms around me to comfort me from my nightmare

In the wee hours of the morning
You shower me with kisses
Whispering sweet nothings in my ear
As I snuggle closer to you
Sharing the blankets as I share my love

Even though there might be a battle
In this very bed at night
When the morning comes
Our love will shine through
For you and for me.

[PoeticWitch]

Wandering
Through the corners of my mind
But not really corners
More like our given world
Round and never ending

Some places full of sunshine
And happiness
Like dancing in a field of flowers
And butterflies
That I want to share with all

There are dark places though
Crevices hiding the wickedest of creatures
I stand guard all day and all night
To protect the ones I love
To keep the darkness back where it belongs

But always there must be a balance
Between the light and the dark
If there is more of one then the other
A battle of will ensues in my mind
The balance must be kept

Too much happiness
Is fake and hides darkness
All too easily
Too much darkness
Leads to a path of sorrow

In the end
Either more light or more dark
I would be alone
Willing or not
There must always be a balance

Between Light and Dark

[PoeticWitch]

My help forthcoming
But you turn up your nose
And scoff
As if it isn't good enough for you

I don't pretend to know all
I don't think I have all the answers
I know I am not some degreedified professional
But I am trying to help

But that isn't good enough
Maybe living life gives me better answers
I have better credentials than any therapists little piece of paper
Because I have lived life and made similar mistakes already

So don't turn up your nose at me
Don't make that scoffing noise at me
Unplug your ears and listen with an open mind
You might learn everything you need to know

[PoeticWitch]

One step forward
Two steps to the left
Three steps back
Four steps to the right

Are we dancing?
Are we playing a game?
I feel as if I am spinning
Spinning out of control

Is this a game we play?
A dance move we do to get through it?
The complicated game of life
That we have no control of

Lets waltz across the floor
Lets dance as if we know
As if we know what we are doing
When we really don't

As long as you are at my side
This game, this dance
It isn't so bad as all that
You are my love and you make it all worthwhile

So lets waltz, lets dance
Through this game of life
Always together forever
Me holding you and you holding me.

[PoeticWitch]

Sleep so fleeting
Dreams too close to reality
Cannot tell what is real
What is insanity

I am no prophetess
But sometimes these dreams are eerily real
Of things that have not happen
But of things that could happen

So haunting
So confusing
So real it pulls on my heart strings
I wake feeling lost and alone

In the world of dreams
There are no answers
So easily forthcoming
So patiently I wait

[PoeticWitch]

What is real
What is a dream
I can no longer tell

My brain is failing me
In telling me the difference
Between dream and reality

You would think it would be easy
When I dream of famous people
Like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

But when I am in the midst of the dream
I cannot differentiate
Because it is literally so realistic

No they aren't dreams of sex
They aren't dreams of chasing bad guys with him
Or him chasing me

Just a dream of the terribly mundane
As if my life isn't mundane enough
Yay here we are in Mundania!

Going to lay back down now
Maybe I will wake in some exciting life
I didn't know I had, that explains why I dream mundane.

[PoeticWitch]

Snow is falling
This isn't a winter wonderland
The holidays are over
And so is my fascination with sparkly snow

Counting down the days
Til Spring is here
Counting down the days
To dress and flip flop weather

Negative degree weather
So isn't my thing
When it takes a half hour
To get dressed to just go outside for 5 minutes

Counting down the days
Til Spring rains wash away the snow
Counting down the days
To t-shirt and short weather

Yes Global Warming is here
It's a bitch and most likely it is just going to get worse
But Goddess please
Bless us with a early Spring

Counting down the days
Til the earth and trees Spring forth life
Counting down the days
To warmer weather

[PoeticWitch]

My love
My dear
The light of my life
You make life worth living
Most days that is
Today though
I wish I had a caste iron pan
So I might smack you upside the head with it
Or maybe I should roll up a newspaper
And smack your nose with it
Like I do the dog
Maybe you will pay attention
To the fact that you are irking the shit out of me
I don't want to break up with you
I don't want to kill you
That would be way to messy
It would just be easier to train you
Like the dog that you are

[PoeticWitch]

Cold
Alone
On an island
Of ice and snow

I wonder
And wander
Looking
For warmth

Why am I alone?
Where has everyone gone?
So cold
So alone

I lay down
In the ice and snow
So very tired
No heart to go on

As I close my eyes
Your name passes from my lips
A bare whisper on the wind
One last quiet cry for help

A burst of light
And warmth
Surrounding me
Warming me

You are my sun
My heart
My blood
My life

The ice and snow melts
Life bursts forth all around
The whole world warms
As you wrap your arms around me

Forever my Sun
Forever my Other Half
Forever my Protector
Forever my Love

[PoeticWitch]

Neverending white
Cold in your bones
Feeling as if nothing
Can warm your soul

Old Man Winter has stayed way too long
Father Sun warm Mother
Mother wake from your slumber
So spring might come forth

The longer Old Man Winter stays
The colder and darker our souls become
This is not our natural state
Mother wake up and shower us with love

Mother and Father
Kindle the fire deep within us
Warm the earth and inspire growth
Not just for us humans, but every living creature

Time to send Old Man Winter
To the southern hemisphere for a time
For this is the cycle of life
Come on Grandfather.. time to move on

[PoeticWitch]

It is cold and clear
The sun shining so bright
Almost blinding in the morning light
I think we will need shades to face the day

Lets take a walk
Enjoy the crisp air
Come take a walk with me
This beautiful morning won't last forever

Yes it is true
I would prefer warmer weather
Sundresses and flip flop type of weather
But that is still a bit of time away

So lets make due with what we have
Enjoy the little gifts that the Mother gives
Thank the Father for the warmth of the rays of the sun
And take a walk in the crisp sunny morning

[PoeticWitch]

Never enough
Nothing I say
Nothing I do
Seems to be enough

Why do I feel as if I don't measure up
To some unseen limit
Some invisible level
That I reach for but it is always out of reach

I just want to make everyone happy
But I am so lacking
But I don't know why
I try so hard

I'm just not enough
For you
For them
For everyone

[PoeticWitch]

How did it end up like this?
A blessing or a curse?
On any given day
All a matter of opinion I suppose

So many words flowing
Flowing through my mind
To my fingertips
To create art of a sort

Some might understand
Some might not
Not everything is literal
Some to be taken serious as can be

My words are not always mine
Sometimes the words that spill out
They belong to someone else
I "hear" them through a psychic thread of thought

But please listen to them
Hear them and share them
If they touch you in some way
For they matter to someone if not me then maybe you

A blessing and a curse
I need to share these words
But they are not always mine
But the blessing and the curse is purely mine

[PoeticWitch]

Every night as I lay myself down to sleep
I wrap my mind in a cocoon
As I snooze the night away
I go over everything I learned that day
Like a caterpillar transforming in that cocoon
My brain is changing and growing and expanding
You can almost compare it to a computer
Defragging to make the best of the space it has
My caterpillar brain is becoming a beautiful butterfly
With everything I learn
Day in and day out
Opening my third eye too all the possibilities
I am truly blessed by the Gods and Goddesses
Thank you Lord and Lady
For giving me the capability to learn
Thank you Lord and Lady
For my caterpillar brain

[PoeticWitch]

As I sit here
Listening to the music
Roll over me
Moving me up
Moving me down

I miss you both so
The house is too quiet
Without you
But I know this is for the best
For you two and for us

You will find better families
Who can take care of you
In sickness and in health
Who are more than willing
To play and walk, night and day

Please don't think
We didn't love you
Because we do
More than you will ever know
This is why we want better for you

We had to give you up
So you could have what you truly deserved
Because we couldn't do right by you
Please remember us kindly
Because we will always remember you two.

[PoeticWitch]

Our society in all its glory
Our society in all its wisdom
Our society in all its assumed intelligence
Has created a monster it cannot fight

Sick?
Don't worry we got a pill for that
In pain?
We got a pill for that too

That pain pill is putting you to sleep?
Here is a pill to keep you awake
Oh that one is upsetting your stomach
Another pill for that

Pill for this
Pill for that
Everything can be fixed by a pill or two or three or four
No these aren't addictive at all

Doctor! Doctor!
It hurts when I do this!
Well don't do that!
Take two pills and call me in the morning

I see the future
Pharmaceutical Companies own the world
Controlling the masses with their little pills
And we just smile and nod

[mythy]

It was a chilly winters night
and frost was glittering on the ground
the evening stars were twinkling bright
and from the gloomy plain around
came no sound

Then there within the wood girt tower
the church bell slowly struck the hour
as if that all of human birth
had risen too the final day

and soaring from the worn out earth
were called in hurry and dismay
so far away

and I alone of all mankind
was left in lonliness behind

[PoeticWitch]

The earth is still frozen
Piles of snow all around
Freezing temperatures still haunt us
Even though it is the end of March

Mother may I ask?
Mother may I plead?
Mother may I beg?
For warmer weather?

I am not asking to be boiled
Nor to be baked
Or even grilled
Just lightly toasted would be lovely

My bones a cold
All the way down to my toes
Mother help me warm them
Before I freeze into living statue

I heard the birds flying over head
They were flying north
I know Spring is coming
But just not fast enough

I see the animals out and about
Their winter cache of food is gone
So they are hunting for the Spring growth
But the ground is still frozen

Trees haven't budded
The grass hasn't sprouted
The ground is brown
Nothing green that I can see

Mother bless us
With Spring Growth
Mother bless us
With Spring Warmth

Time for the cycle of life to move on to the next phase
Time for the tree of life to bloom once again
Time for the season to change
It's Time

Ms Poetic Witch, would it be ok for me to post some more of my stuff here?
(if I can't thats ok chuck)

[PoeticWitch]

Ms Poetic Witch, would it be ok for me to post some more of my stuff here?
(if I can't thats ok chuck)



I don't mind at all.. I love sharing space with those of like minds and sometimes even with those of different minds

[mythy]

Thats great...of course I am certifiable, but harmless with it.

[mythy]

My mind to me a kingdom is
such perfect joy therein I find
that it excels all other bliss
that world affords or grows by kind
though much I want which most would have
yet still my mind forbids to crave
some have too much yet still do crave
I little have and seek no more
they are but poor I rich, they beg, I give
they lack, I leave, they pine, I live
I laugh not at another's loss
I grudge not at another's gain
no worldly waves my mind can toss
my state at one doth still remain
I fear no foe, I fawn no friend
I loathe not life, nor dread the end.

[PoeticWitch]

Family for good or ill
They are yours
Want them or not
You are stuck with them

They will make you laugh
They will make you cry
They will most definitely make you scream
And pull all your hairs out

Some family is related by blood
Some family is related by marriage
Some family is related history
But all family is related by love

They can "disown" you
You can "disown" them
But in the end you still love one another
Too much to forget your love for each other

[mythy]

Turn to the seasons
the majesty of winter
when all things sleep the sleep of life
wrapped in summers long forgot
then after the deep shame of autumn
followed by the cruel bitter cold
they cover their nakedness
and clothe their limbs
in the warmth of leaves.

[PoeticWitch]

Magic surrounds me
Drowning me with pure joy
Wrapping around my heart and soul
Taking a step forward I fly
Happy thoughts are on my mind
I want to fly to Never Never Land
Find Peter Pan and the Lost Boys
I don't want to grow up
Not ever
Swashbuckling with Capt'n Hook
Racing through the sky with Tinkerbell
Listening to stories at Wendy's knees
Oh to be young forever more
To see the magic through a childs eye once again
With innocence and wonder
Oh Lord and Lady I beseech you
Open my Third Eye
So I might see the magic as a child once more

[mythy]

I saw the summer stay and wait
tiptoeing round my garden gate,
then she sighed and moved away
to bring her warmth another day

Then Autumn came mellow brown,
with swirling leaves of thistledown,
but sad her time was all too short
she could not find the warmth she sought

To Winter then, the ice and snow,
with bitter winds that cut and blow,
yes her time outstays the rest
til Spring comes round a welcome guest.

[mythy]

I had covered some miles that night in December
I remembered the warmth of the fires glowing embers'
then up through the dark an old man appeared
limping quite badly, with eyes full of tears,
in a flowing white robe, and a long straggly beard,
I called out a greeting, he could not have heard.
Then in the distance a clock struck the hour
it's luminous face clear in the tower,
and I turned to the place where I'd seen the old man,
but I was too late the old year had gone.

[PoeticWitch]

The air is chilly in
This early morning
The fog clings to the ground
As my feet pick out the path
That they know so well
My breathe crystallizes in the air
Showing the proof of Winter clinging
Sun peeks through the trees
Brightening up the snow and ice
That still lingers
A beam of sunlight falls upon
My face causing me to smile
My body fills with warmth
My feet begin to move faster
Darting in and out of the trees
In a hurry to reach my destination
I break through the trees
Into a clearing on a cliffside
To meet the Dawn in all her glory
To soak up her morning rays
To give thanks to the Mother
For all that she has given us
Seen and Unseen
Blessed Be to all of Mothers Creatures

[mythy]

They dance and jump
up and down the hall
but they always come back
whenever I call

They are the best friends
I know they're sincere
they would never upset
or cause me a tear

They come in all colours
and are rather unique
I call them socks
and they go on me feet.

[PoeticWitch]

Letters across the screen
Their meaning questionable
Serious or humorous
So hard to tell

People losing their ability
To discern between a joke
And a matter of sincere importance
Because these are letter across the screen

We don't talk to one another anymore
We don't hear each others voices
We are just letters on the screen
Ambiguous at best

At one time we thought
The internet brought us closer together
But in my opinion
It drives a gigantic wedge between us

Because we are just letters across the screen
My humor is questionable
My thoughtful thoughts are perceived as banter
You have confused my intent

I am tired of these letters on the screen
I want to hear voices again
I want to shake hands once more
I crave human contact, not the internet

[PoeticWitch]

It was just a few days
Without you
But it felt like eternity
Without you

I lay in our bed
Without you
I dreamt every night
Of how you weren't by my side

I missed you my love
More then you can ever know
I barely slept
Without you by my side

I would watch t.v.
To distract me from your absence
I would laugh at A.F.V
Turn to you to ask if you saw that

But you weren't by my side
My head cannot imagine life without you
My heart will not beat properly without you here
My soul is not complete without you with me forever more

So my love, here are the rules
We are never allowed to spend even one night
Without the other
For Soulmates should never be parted

[PoeticWitch]

As I lay myself down to sleep
I wonder what might I dream tonight
Of far off lands
And strange beasts I have never seen
Of my daily stresses
And all the bills I have to pay
I want to dream of a ship
A ship to carry me off
To worlds only imagined
Where princes and princess truly exist
And magic is a daily occurrence
So as I lay myself down to sleep
I pray that I dream
Of love, light, and laughter
To dream as if I was a child once more
To believe that miracles still happen
Lets leave the mundane world
Where it belongs
And let my dreams be dreams

[PoeticWitch]

Do you dream..
Of what has come and gone..
Or of what has not yet happened..

Do you dream..
Of silliness and laughter..
Or of darkness and terror..

Do you dream..
Of planets and stars..
Or of beaches with waters so blue..

Do you dream..
Of clouds so fluffy and white..
Or of storm clouds raining on your parade..

Do you dream
As I dream
That some dreams might come true

[PoeticWitch]

Words on the screen
So hard to read
The meaning behind them
On any given day
Let alone at 4am
I would rather be in bed
Dreaming of pleasant things
But instead, I am awake
Lamenting about
Words on a screen
To be true
These words mean nothing
As I don't know you
And you don't know me
So why the hell are you getting so
Butt hurt over a few words on the screen

[PoeticWitch]

Oh how I want to be a kid again
To feel footloose and fancy free
To have imaginary friends
That lead me on adventures around the world
Without it costing me a dime

To dance around with total abandon
Not a care in the world
To be amused by the silliest of things
Because of my wild imagination
And not be judged as insane by the many adults

Sometimes being a grown up is totally over rated
I just want to time travel back to being a kid
Where things were simpler back in the day
But instead I will dream every night
Of being a kid once again

To love with my whole heart
My heart not yet tainted by bitterness
To live one day at a time
Because as a child
Tomorrow was not yet a reality

Oh to be a kid again
What I wouldn't give
To be a child once more
To think my parents knew everything
And that the sun rose and fell on them alone

To believe that all fairy tales are true
And Santa Claus kept a list
The Easter Bunny laid colorful eggs
That my birthday and Christmas
Were the best days of the year

Oh to be a kid again
I wish it was true
I never wanted to grow up
I just wanted to be a Toys-R-Us kid
But alas time moves forward

We grow up if we want to or not
But deep down in my very essence
My little girl waits
For a bit of freedom
Once more

[PoeticWitch]

Insanity binding the mind
Mine or yours?
Lets join these insanities
Give us a bit more room

Demented thoughts
Floating in and out
Of this head
That keeps the insanities contained

O'come all ye crazies
Lets join hands
And minds
Together we can get everything we need

As individuals we won't get far
But together
A being of one mind
We might get the help we want

They are fools to be sure
To think insanity rules our lives
To not know what we need
We are not babies having a crying fit

So come all ye crazies
If you are tired of being dismissed and ignored
Come join hands with me and mine
We will show the way

Some form of normalcy
A little bit of the mundane
This is what I want and need
So give me the damn meds already

[PoeticWitch]

Here I have something for you
Sorry I didn't have time to wrap it
Something special
Something only I could give you

It is fragile so you know
So be tender
So be kind
It cannot be replaced for any amount of money

It is a little messy
A little squishy
But remember
To treasure it always

What is it you ask
Well it is something so very dear to me
I want to give you my heart
My heart and no one elses

Please don't break it
Or stomp on it
Because if did it would stop beating
And I would die

So be gentle
So be kind
And remember most of all
To treasure it always

[PoeticWitch]

I know you are down
Sad and frustrated
A total grump
On this fine day

Come with me
For a walk in the clouds
My wild imagination
Will lift you up higher

Stop frowning my love
Why not smile
What will it hurt
To put a smile on your face

I love you
And I know you love me too
So let me wrap my love around you
And lift us up higher

Come take a walk with me
In my wild imagination
It can take us anywhere
If you but trust me

Put a smile on that face
Take my hand
While our love
Lifts us higher

[mythy]

A poem wot I writ ta very glad

On a mist shrouded ocean, the top of a mast
glides silently through from out of the past
no creak from the timbers no foot on the deck
no hand to steer her, yet she is not wrecked
then as she moves slowly and her bows come abreast
the name on the side reads
The Mary Celeste.

[PoeticWitch]

Melissa, my friend
It has been forever
Since I have seen your smiling face
Last time we spoke
We talked of how I should come to visit
Maybe next year I said
Next year would be better
Now next year will never come
Your time on Earth is over
The Goddess has called you home
To be by her side
I was blessed to have known you
Blessed even more
For having you as a friend
I am sorry I missed my chance
Chance to see you
Chance to be a good friend
Sad to say but I have learned
Next year will never happen
Lets try for today
You have touched my life
You have touched so many lives
We are all grateful
Now I will take my lessoned learned
No more living for next year
Start living for today
Tomorrow is not a guarantee
So lets start living for today
Goodbye my friend
Give the Mother my love
She will hold you close forever more

[PoeticWitch]

I hear you Mother
Thunder above
Lightening running across the sky
I know you are angry Mother
Forgive us Mother
For our arrogance
Forgive us Mother
For our presumption
That we dare to think we know more than you
I beg of thee Mother
Call back your warriors
Tornado, Hurricane,
Volcano, Earth Quake,
Blizzard, Drought,
And Extinction
Call back your storm Mother
For we tremble before your righteous power
As only the Mother can have
Bless us Mother
With love and understanding
Bless us Mother
To open our third eye
To truly see the damage we have done
I hear you Mother
Thunder above
As below
Forgive us Mother
Give us another chance
To show we can cherish the gifts you have given us
I plead mercy
For all human kind
Give us a chance
To put down our ego
And kneel before you
I beseech you Mother
Do not give up on us
I hear you Mother
Thunder above
So shall it be below
To spread your word
I vow
To show others of the joy of working
Together with all mankind and nature
Guide me Mother
Teach me wisdom
Teach me true compassion
So I might better fulfill my vow
I ask for a sign
I ask for a teacher
From your lips
To my pen
Thank you Mother
Blessed be

[PoeticWitch]

It sits
Deep down inside of me
Like a lump of mud
Hardened with time

And if I cry
It will just turn
To gooey mud again
Still sitting deep down inside

Depression
Sucks my friend
Nothing you can do
Make me believe otherwise

Currently my bed
Is my best hiding spot
Where no one tells me
Fake it til you make

If you say that
I might rip your face off
I don't care if you understand
Just leave me be

Why do you ask why?
I don't know
It is my chemical make up
Or I just do it to annoy you

Of course everything is about you
You must have done something
Or maybe not done something
For me to get all depressed like this

So take this depression
And stuff it
Where the sun doesn't shine
Because obviously you are all powerful like that

[PoeticWitch]

You see me
With all my ink
Both right arm
And left arm

You know there is more
Beneath all these clothes
Ink up and ink down
Ink side to side as well

But instead of asking
For the story the ink tells
You turn your head
Sure you know me already

With just a glance
I have stood in front
Of judge and jury
And I have been found wanting

Though I never spoke a word
For good or for ill
And now you will never know
If we could have been friends or not

You will never know
The purple kitty is a memory
Of my sister and I
Together right before our mothers passing

You will never know
The Jasmine flower
Is for the woman
Who helped me beyond measure

You are so sure
You know all
Just from a look
And of course you cannot be wrong

But since you didn't ask
You will never know
The story of my life
That all this ink tells

[PoeticWitch]

Hey there
Listen to me
Do you believe
The heavens can affect the Earth?
The planets in the vast sky
Some so close
Others so very far
People believe
A full moon cause the crazies
To come out of the woodwork
And tonight is a full moon
Oh my! Look!
The calendar says it is Friday
The thirteenth day of June
On top of all of that
Mercury is in retrograde
All hell is going to bust loose
Someone has upset the Gods and Goddesses
And I don't think virgin sacrifices are going to sooth them
Oh Dear! Oh My!
Mercury is in Retrograde
Friday the 13th
And tonight is a full moon
Run for the hills
Mercury is in Retrograde!

[PoeticWitch]

There has to be more than this
More than petty celebrities
More than money hungry reality stars
I'm not saying there isn't good in the world
But can't we do more than this
Either there are people
Who in their righteous judgement
Bash anyone not like them
Or those who carry
Their victim card
As a right to righteous indignation
Words and hashtags
Hashtags and words
There has to be more than this
Songs come to mind
"Where is the love?"
"Man in the Mirror"
But no one listens
To those
Or the cries of those in need
Lets start at home
So we all might be righteous
Together
Then move outward
To help those that cry in need
Lets be righteous together

[PoeticWitch]

Bless this house
And all within
With love
And understanding

May this be a house
Of welcome to all who ask for entrance
Of patience for those in need of healing
Of love for all family and friends

Mother
Fill this house with your energy
Help us sweep all the negative
Out the door

Father
Protect us from all who wish us harm
Make this home a sanctuary
For those who mean no ill will

Thank you Lord and Lady
For all that you have blessed us with
As fitting we will endeavor to pass it on
To one and all

Blessed Be

[PoeticWitch]

Once upon a time
You mattered
I was concerned
If you were happy
Or if you were sad

Once upon a time
The smile on your face
Made a smile on my face
Laughing and giggling with you
Was the best thing ever

Once upon a time
I would have bent over backwards
To help you in anyway
To get you whatever you needed
But nevermore

Never more are the days
When I considered you a friend
All you want to do is tear me down
I am over you trying to drown me
In your sorrow

Never more are the days
Of your words hurting me
Of you thinking you are better
Or worse then me
I am me and you are you

Never more are the days
When you are a part of my life
I must cut you out
Like a malignant tumor
And move on to a happier tomorrow

[PoeticWitch]

Behold!
My brain!
Remarkable yet
Rather uniform with every other Joe

In my dreams
My brains are green
And oozing out the side of my head
In a hole a doctor drilled there

I don't think that was a dream
I must say it was quite terrifying
To think of my brains leaking out
All green and slimy

But what does this say of my mind?
My brains are rotting?
My mind is diseased?
Or mayhap I should stop eating brains

[Gothy]

Why do I suddenly want to play in green slime?

Oh the slippage...

[PoeticWitch]

Dreaming
An adventure
That takes you around the world
Or to another galaxy

Dreaming
Of a fantasy world
Full of pink fuzzy bunnies
And purple clouds hanging in the sky

Dreaming
Of having a conversation
With the God of gods
Wrapped in the Goddess's arms

Dreaming
Of what was
Of what will be
A notion your dream is more then a dream

Dreaming
Turned nightmare
Because you watched a zombie movie
Or an end of the world movie right before bed

Dreaming
The possibility of being the hero of your favorite book
Of being the sexy damsel in distress
Or maybe the complete opposite gender roles

Dreaming
Is filled of all sorts of possibilities
So carry your dreams
Into reality and make them come true

[PoeticWitch]

Reality is quite frightening
On the news
So horrific
This person murdered
That person wrecked
Is this our lot in life?
To be a horror movie
In the making
But with no real
Happy endings
So very sad
It feels as if
My heart is ripped from my chest
For every terrible
Story I read
Every traumatizing
Picture I see
Be it an animal
Or a person
The loss of life
So very tragic

[PoeticWitch]

A part of me
My better half
Making me complete
Holding me together
Tearing me apart
My soulmate
My sparring partner
As a singer once sang
Like looking in a mirror
There is no one other than you
You fill my heart
You fill my soul
As you wrap your arms around me
Cradling me against you
Trying to fall back into you
To become one

[mythy]

I'm really very lucky
the blind man said to me
my hearing is superb
although I cannot see

I'm really very fortunate
the deaf man said to me
although my world is silent
my eyes do wonders see

I could not ask the third man
he could not speak to me
he just pointed to his eyes and ears
so I'd understand you see

[PoeticWitch]

The day is filled with sunshine
The night is filled with starshine
The day is warm
With the suns rays beating down on us
The night is chilly
As the darkness is thick over us
During the day many feel safe
Thinking the monsters are hiding from the sun
When night descends
Many fear the monsters in the shadows
This is all an illusion
The sun mask the monsters
So they seem ordinary and friendly
While night shows them for who they truly are
But if you open your eyes and look into the night
You will see that the boogieman
Is there to protect you
And those ominous hands under the bed
There to keep the seemingly nice monsters
The one the sun hides
The human monsters that walk among you
Far far away from you.
So give thanks to the night
And fear the light of day.

[PoeticWitch]

Mortality pops up
In the worst places
Reminding us that the young
Are vulnerable
Just as much as the old
But when are we officially old?
Is their a certain age?
Or maybe it is when we realize
That our mortal life
Is fleeting
Even on the best of days
Sitting on the bus
Holding hands with Death
Totally unaware of what is coming
Or maybe 50 or 60 years later
Old and grey
So many regrets
Deaths boney hand
Closing your eyes forever
Why are you waiting
To start living life
You might never have the money
Or the time
To go on that blue oceaned vacation
So stop waiting
Start living
Because Death comes for us all
One day

[PoeticWitch]

Random thought at 5am
How would those chocolate covered pretzels taste right now?
While trying to go back to sleep

Random thought at 12pm
When can I get a nap?
As I work the day away

Random thought at 4pm
Why is that guy picking his nose?
While driving home from work

Random thought at 9pm
What new and dumber shows are they coming up with next?
While camped out on the couch

Random thought at midnight
Did I file that report before I left the office?
As I lay down to sleep

[PoeticWitch]

As a woman
There are many things
That we go through
That men do not
And no matter how hard they try
They will never truly understand
As a girl child
At a certain age
We are told we must cover our chests
Though little boys run around without their shirts
We are told we are different
When our puberty starts
We get bumps on our chest
Now we understand why we have to hide them
As all parents tell their little girls
Then the dreaded period
Some little girls aren't warned
Of this impending impostion
So we bleed and think we are dying
Taught not to discuss it
Specially with a male
Like it is something to be ashamed of
And we continue to grow
Bigger breasts
Curves happening all ove
rMales pay more attention then they did before
Males treat us like objects
Calling out disparaging remarks
When you deny them
Are you an angel
Or a devil
Doesn't matter
As a woman you are screwed in so many ways
Young and beautiful
You turn every mans head
It feeds a fragile ego
Based off of others opinion
As you get older
You might have children
You might not
You might see some extra weight
Maybe this shatters your own self image
Then the gym
Diet after diet
Practically killing yourself
To fit their image
Your kids are grown
You see wrinkles around your eyes and mouth
Maybe your man doesn't look at you like he did way back when
That fragile ego is crushed
Somewhere in all this mess
Menopause sets in
Hot cold hot cold
Happy then crying for 5 minutes over cat puke
Then maybe we become that cranky old lady
With a gazillion cats
For some reason this is acceptable
But if you are a hot granny
An active granny that likes to flirt
You are a cougar
The Maiden
The Mother
The Crone
We are all of them
In one lifetime
Cherish yourself
As they cherish you

A poem in stages 1st stage

Come an' listen to me
and I'll tell you a tale
that you might or might not believe
of a weird and wonderful occurence
what some folks find hard to perceive

Now I know the majority of folks round these parts
can manage from cradle to grave
and have nowt to do wi' a jackal as such but this tales about one..called Dave

anyhow for them as dont knows, jackals I suppose
are wild dogs wi' right sticky up ears
they live where its hot, deserts and whatnot
so you'll not see that many round here

part 2 soon

[mythy]

He lived on the outskirts of Cape Town did Dave
In South Africa where he thought life were dull
till he went scroungin in a truck full of apples
and ended up in a warehouse in Hull

Disorienticated I think is the word
after six thousand miles in a crate
an' it took a few weeks wi'
just apples to eat
so 'is bowels weren't behavin; too great

Then they set of again wi' him still in 'is box but
he'd chewed through the top an' were hidin'
in the hope he would be in the Serengetee
but he weren't it were Amblethwaite Sidings

[mythy]

When there was no one about he got himself out
had a right good stretch and a scratch
and set off across Amblethwaite Common
to find a wildebeest or summat to catch

There were nowt but a hedgehog and he couldn't eat that
then he wound up in Hector Scholes yard
where he came nose to nose wi' a rottweiler called Rose
and thought "flippin eck she looks hard"

The rottweiler were nice cos she stopped and thought twice about swallowin' our poor Dave whole
and said "alright there love then says "heavens above,
you need a good feed wheres me bowl"

[mythy]

She says "here have some dinner fore' you get any thinner
I could play Auld Land Syne on yer ribcage"
she says "I like skinny blokes but your havin' a joke
think you'd never bin fed since the ice age

With the flame from the Amblethwaite Cokeworks
reflectin' in't pond underneath
she looked quite attractive stood there in the dusk
wi' a sparkle to her eyes an' her teeth

[mythy]

She invited Dave to stay at her place that night
a blue Bedford van she called home
and the two of 'em got dead nice and cosy
as snug as two nits in a comb

Now while Rose were quite happy confined to the yard
our Dave were bored out of 'is skin
so he went out the next day sayin "I'mount the goin' for some prey
don't cook utowt I'll bring summat in"

There not much call for a jackel in Amblethwaite, but
there no gazelles, no wildebeest n'that
no wide desert plains and no pampas nor nowt
unless you count the spare field by the flats

[mythy]

but he found himself on Amblethwaite high street
where the butcher were unloadin' 'is van
so Dave went to ground till there were no one around
and jumped in and made of wi' a ham


Now Rose were that used to eatin' pedigree chum
that she didn't take kindly to changethey'd
so bein' polite she just buried it that night
and Dave didn't think anything strange

So once they'd got used to each others strange ways
and adapted their lifestyles to suit
they lived out their life like husband and wife
and had three lots of puppies to boot

[mythy]

It's sad I suppose that poor Dave and Rose
passed on many years ago now
and though they've long gone their legend lives on
if you listen I'll tell you how

You see all the dogs in Amblethwaite be they collies or poms, chihuahuas, alsatians or pugs
they've all got that sparkle in their eyes and their teeth
and they've all got right sticky up lugs.

the end ta very glad

That time of year again
Summer fading
A warm memory
Leaves changing colors
Cooler nights
Bonfires roaring
Hot chocolate
A treat to warm the soul
The holidays are coming
Grab your loved ones hands
Take a walk
In the chilly air
Cherish these moments
Of serenity and bliss
Remember to laugh
Remember to smile
And most of all
Remember to love
With all your heart

[PoeticWitch]

Cold and gray
Rain drizzling
Even the color of the changing leaves
Are muted and drab
By this miserable weather
A sense of sadness
Depression so overwhelming
I beseech the Mother
I plead with the Father
Let sun shine on us again
To feel the heat
Sink deep down
Into me
Winter is coming soon enough
Leave off the gray
I don't mind the cold so much
Because I can bundle up
But I miss the sun
Only fall and already I am over
This gray and miserable weather

[PoeticWitch]

In the grand scheme of things
Where am I?
For that matter
Where are you?
Are we meant to be
The low man on the totem pole
Or maybe
The first President of the Intergalactic Galaxies
Who are we in this world of ours?
Who were we in our past lives?
Joan of Arc
Or maybe
Napolean
Can we be important?
Without some fancy title?
Or are we insignificant
But still hold the title of CEO
Of some Fortune 500 company
All this thinking
Where does it get me?
Do I want to be a big fish?
Or is it better to be a little fish?
How about I just be me
And be happy
No matter the big or little
Of my place in life

[PoeticWitch]

All Hallows Eve is fast approaching
The time the veil is thinnest
Dead are closer
And the Living
Go on living
We have forgotten the old ways
To pay respect
To those who have already moved on
To the next world
To celebrate their lives
And ask for guidance
And protection
From those with dark intentions
So Living remember well
Not all Spirits are evil
And you should always respect the dead

[PoeticWitch]

I sit here
Next to you
Wanting
To touch you
To love you
You are my Muse
The power to light a fuse
In my heart
Down my fingertips
Until these words pop out
Creating beauty
Because of you
Wanting
To please you
Because I need you
You are my one and only
The only one I need
I am no Angel
That is true
More like a Devil
But it doesn't matter
Or so it seems
You love me anyways
I thank the Mother
For creating you for me
I thank the Father
For leading you to me
Always
Blessed Be
