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

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
