Rubber Ducky Poetry Hour

[PoeticWitch]

Here winter abounds
Freezing cold weather
Cold wet snow everywhere

All I can dream of is TCO
TransCampOut is wonderful summer fun
With the warm sun and friends from near and far

The field of green green grass
A creek full of water gurgling down the middle of it
Laughter of so many fine people

Here in the midst of winter
I dream of my summer to come
Almost warmed up with just the thought

So I will keep dreaming of TCO
Dreaming of the warmth and the friends
Until it becomes a reality once more

[PoeticWitch]

As I lay down to sleep
I think of my day
Of what was
And what wasn't
Of the doors that closed
And the one that opened
Thinking of you taking my hand
Walking with me
Sharing my journey
For all the ups and downs
At times you help hold me up
At others you carry me through the worst
You seem to inherently know
When I need my Superman
As I lay down to sleep
I snuggle up beside you
Feeling safer then I ever have before
And feeling grateful
Not just for my Superman
But those strong arms you wrap around me
When the storm hits and I am fearful at night
My Superman and yet my Teddy Bear
Man of Steel with the softest heart
As I lay down to sleep
Besides you
I whisper "I love you"

[PoeticWitch]

Here it is Monday
A day of great regret
Funny how much energy can go into one day

Monday so negative
Friday so positive
Everything in-between of no importance

Truly Monday is just another day
Like any other
Another day ending in 'Y'

So when you open your eyes this Monday
Choose to smile at the day
Rather then be a Grumpy Gus

What would it hurt?
Maybe a less crappy day
With a smile plastered to your face

Unless of course you like being miserable
Then proceed on being an ass
Hurts you more then me.

[PoeticWitch]

We stand together
On this cliff
A metaphor to be sure
Watching the sun rise

Our whole lives before us
The sun warming us down to our toes
As our love for one another
Warm our souls

We wrap our arms around each other
My head on your chest
Your head rested on my head
Cradling our love in a protective embrace

We know the time has come
To take a step off the cliff
And walk out into the world
That is laid out before us

Secure in love
Secure in trust
For each other
Forever and always

Holding each others hand
We turn to face the sun
Welcoming us to our new lives
Together we step off into infinity

For my love DillyBear

[PoeticWitch]

Death the final frontier
What lays beyond is unknown to man
Except maybe a glimpse or two
By a special few

Do these few feel blessed for the look they were given?
Or terrified by what lays ahead in the next realm?
I hope that Death is not a frontier we will ever conquer
We are not Gods or Goddesses to play with lives

Just like everyone else
Death is an unknown terror for me
Live each day like it is your last
Cherish every day and every night

Blessed be!

[PoeticWitch]

What does it cost
For you to be right
And me to be wrong
Or maybe the other way around

There is a difference between you and me
You feel you must be right no matter what
I can careless either way
I would rather be happy then right

What does it cost me
For you to be right
And me to be wrong
Nothing, for I am still smiling

What does it cost you
For me to be right
And you to be wrong
Everything including your sanity

So yes sometimes I will say
I am wrong and you are right
Just so you can save your sanity
And I can keep this smile on my face

For I would much rather be happy then right

The sun is shining
So blinding
But those April showers
You know are just around the corner
Then May flowers covering everything
June will be here before you know it
Before you are ready July is the month at hand
You know what that means don't we?
TransCampOut is the event to be at
To see old friends and to make new friends
Learn new and interesting things from all the Presenters
Sit around the fires at night sharing stories
And sacrificing peeps for the S'mores Gods
Good food and good conversations
Tattoos, blown glass, floggings
So many things to choose from
I cannot even list them all in this short poem
Come one and come all
Come on down to Walton West Virginia
Have a good old time with us
In a backwood valley
That you will remember for years to come

[PoeticWitch]

What is this between my legs?!
Why does it seem to determine who I must or must not love?
Who are you to tell me so?
Did your God make you His personal translator?
Of words in a book He didn't even write?
This here between my legs determines so much these days
If I can marry, if I can think for myself, If I can rule my own body
Who do you think you are?
You think God cannot think for Himself?!
That He needs a puny human such as you to spread His word
You think One as Omnipotent as God cannot speak for Himself?
You are sadly mistaken.
Leave my sex be
Leave my right to choose be
Leave my right to love who I want to be
If the Holy Lord doesn't like what I am doing
I am sure He will let me know in a fantastic method
Along with all the other queers
And all the women of the world
Take your male privilege and shove it
Where the sun don't shine
You have no right over me!

[PoeticWitch]

Spare a horse they say
Ride a cowboy
What about that cowgirl?
She needs a good riding too

A horse can take you for a ride
Fast and far across the land
A cowboy can ride you til he loses his load
But a cowgirl will ride you til you are exhausted from pleasure you have never known

You have to soak and brush down that horse
When you are through, don't forget to feed and water him too
A cowboy will roll over and pull up his jeans, as he saunters out the door.
A cowgirl will want to ride you again and again, til you can go no more

A horse is good for a ride
A cowboy is good for a fuck
A cowgirl is good for a long ramble
Always leaving you hankering for more.

[PoeticWitch]

A dork, that is what you are
A geek in spades I say
But you are all mine
For now and always
Am I yours?

Some may think when I call you a dork
That I mean you are a fool or a simpleton
But they are sadly mistaken
For you are neither of those
Sometimes so intelligent it is frightening

I am sure a few think I mean you are a dick
But that is farthest from the truth
So sweet and lovable
The purest heart I have ever known
So very dorky and cute and lovable all at once

That green shirt you wear
Saying Adorkable
Is my favorite shirt you own
So very adorkable
The main reason I am madly in love with you

[PoeticWitch]

Here I sit across from you
Making googly eyes at you
So cute are you blushing so dear

Come my dear don't deny my eyes
So cruel of you to reject the lust I have for you
Don't turn your beautiful blue eyes away from me please

Ha! You know me too well my little french fry!
It is way too much fun harassing you my little love!
To tease you is the highlight of my day.

Don't think I don't mean what I say
You are so uberly sexy my dear
But I know you have eyes only for him.

In the meantime I will poke and prod you
Tease you mercilessly about your hotness
And how much I want to have my way with you.

So enjoy my loving affection
And adulation
For I am sure one day I will get bored and move on.

[PoeticWitch]

What you see is not what you get with this nut
I have layers upon layers more like an onion
So maybe I am not a nut nor an onion
In the end it matters not if you don't stick around to find out

My bipolar does not make me who I am
Maybe it is my empathy for humankind
Same reason for my distaste for them I say
I can see the good, but I can see the bad just as easily

I cannot be sized up in one glance or even two
A month is not enough to truly know me
Neither is a year or two
To know my true inner being it takes a lifetime

Excuse me if I don't have time for you
When you are so unwilling to give me a fair shot
You assume you know me already
When we have never met til now

So go your merry way
With your preconceived notions
No skin off my back honey
I know who my friends are in the end

[PoeticWitch]

I lay here beside you
Snuggled against you
Feeling so warm and safe
When I feel your hand
Touching my face tenderly

I open my eyes
Looking up on your smiling face
Your thumb rubbing across my cheek
A smile spreads over my face
As you lean in for a morning kiss

The first kiss of the day
A promise given all over again
That you will be by my side
Through thick and thin
That precious morning kiss

The first kiss of the day
A pledge of our love
For one another
Growing stronger every day
The loving morning kiss

The first kiss of the day
A vow every day
That we will be there
For eachother no matter what
I look forward to that morning kiss

[PoeticWitch]

A cold swirling blackness surrounds me
Hiding the sun from my eyes
Hiding the warmth from my flesh
I call your name searching for you

The darkness sticks to me
It won't let me go
It won't let me be free
To feel true love and warmth of friends

This darkness all encompassing
Blinding me and others view of me
I was happy once
Til the darkness came

Never ending
Cold and alone
I stand in the darkness
Calling your name

What is that?
A spark in the distance?
Is that you? My love?
Can you hear me calling out to you?

Again your name, again the spark
But bigger and with warmth
Is that your hand I see reaching into the darkness?
Reaching into the darkness for me?

My hero to brave the darkness
As you wrap your arms around me
Enveloping me in love and warmth
The darkness dissipates with an explosion of light

And I know forever more
I am never alone
For I have you by my side
To help my keep the darkness at bay

[PoeticWitch]

Sitting here by this fire
Feeling the warmth
Looking into the heart of it
I feel as if I am carried away

As if I am dancing among the flames
As the wood turn to embers
The smoke swirling off into the night air
The wood crackling and popping

As the fire wraps itself around my heart
I feel a peace settle over me
A peace I rarely feel at all
I feel as one with the fire

Chaos and destruction
But a giver of life at the same time
I am a lover of fire
And fire a lover of me

[PoeticWitch]

Ever have one of those days
Where everything seems just too much
All you want to do is break down to cry

A person comes along
They just don't get your level of stress
All they have to say is "Take a chill pill"

That is just too much
Sends you over the edge
But only inside your head

For if your thoughts escaped
Mayhem would ensue
None would be safe from that metaphorical "chill pill"

The boss that is lazy and wants you to do all his work
The friend who wants you to save them from ever crisis they created
The screaming children who want this and want that but don't ask but demand

You want me to "Take a chill pill" you say
Live a day in my life to see if that is possible
I am sure you will need a padded room when your day is over.

Until you live that day, leave me alone
I deal the best that I can with the stress that I have
Don't ever say "Take a chill pill" again

For those might be your last words
As I shove your tongue down your throat
And as I laugh merrily all the while!

[PoeticWitch]

Who are you to tell me
What I can do with my body
You don't know the fear
I have to deal with
Just looking over my family tree

I didn't do this to be "brave"
I didn't do this to be "cool"
I did this so I might
Have some peace of mind
And not fear leaving my children as orphans

So many in my family have succumb
To the cancer gene
Not living through the Chemo
Or radiation therapy
So excuse me if I don't care if you don't like my preemptive method

I didn't do it for you
I didn't do it for the public
I did it for myself and my family
They are more important than anyone I know
But thank you for your opinion.

[PoeticWitch]

Once upon a time
A long long time ago
We were young
And so in love
Once upon a time
We thought
We couldn't love
Each other more
Than we did back then
Once upon a time
We thought we would
Stay young forever
But once upon a time
Is no more
This is the Here and Now
We are no longer young
Do you still love me?
With my grays
Do you still love me?
With my wrinkles
Do you still love me?
With all the fat on my old body
Do you still love me?
Was it better then?
Or is it better now?
Tell me my love
Has your love grown
With time?
Or shrank
With my fleeting beauty?

[PoeticWitch]

Ever have your brain just revolt
Deny working for you
Ever have your brain say
You have abused me enough
I am on strike
For however long I feel like
The simplest tasks
Feel like you need to be
A rocket scientist to do
That old phrase about
Only being 10% smarter
Then the object you're using
Makes you feel like you are
Dumber than rocks
You must remember
To give your brain a vacation
On occasion
Or this might be you
Way too soon
All work and no play
Is detrimental
To a healthy, happy life
