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.

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.
