Rubber Ducky Poetry Hour

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

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

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

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 · 08-11-2013, 08:08 AM

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

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

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
