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.

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 · 01-24-2014, 05:38 PM

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.

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

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

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

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
