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

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

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
