Black and white
That is all you see
The gray is invisible
To your naked eye

Your way or the highway
So you say
But honey, take a step back
The world is changing

Open your eyes
See what is truly there
The future is before you
The world is changing with or without you

You don't have to like
Truly you don't have to accept it
But at the very least respect it
Or in the end you just screw yourself

[PoeticWitch]

I sit here, letting my mind wander
Meander, drift, and roam all over
These thoughts of mine keep coming back
To one thing of great importance

The blessings of my life
I have the usual of course
The roof over my head
And the food in my stomach

But I have blessings of the heart
I have blessings of the mind
I have blessings of the soul
I am blessed in so many ways

Peace in my heart
Peace of mind
Peace in my soul
I feel complete

Love filling my heart
Love spilling from my mind
Love surrounding my soul
I am complete

My heart one with all around
My mind hearing what the Earth has to say
My soul connected to every soul out there
We are One and We are complete

We are blessed
Be thankful
Touch another's soul
Share the joy

[PoeticWitch]

Who are you?
Before this storm moved in
Causing so much destruction and grief
You were just like everyone else

Concerned about your parties
Selfish to the core
It is great that you see the the suffering
Around you and feel compelled to help

But darling you aren't Mother Teresa
You aren't better then anyone else
Not everyone can deal with the pain and agony they see
Stop being mad at the people who cannot cope

Forgive them and pity them
For they are unable to have compassion
For any other then themselves
Forgive them and pray for them

Give them an example of how to be
Maybe they will learn from your caring nature
But if all you express is your anger at their lack
They won't learn anything but a more negative nature

Lead by example
Love with all your being
Forgive with all your heart
And do the best you can no matter what others do

[PoeticWitch]

What we once were
Is no more
Through the fault
Of you and me

Our harsh and cruel words
Have driven a wedge
Down the middle of us
Time to part and go our separate ways

But we persist and hold on
Those cruel words continue
I still call you when I have a problem
As a matter of fact, I have you on speed dial

Speed dial exes
Those we should give up
Those we should let go
I know I should move on, but alas I cannot

Speed dial exes
I should tell you to go
I should tell you it is time to move on
But I don't for fear that you might forget me

My speed dial ex
Come save me
From myself yet again
Because apparently I cannot save myself

Have I really become this
This creature so lacking in self confidence
This creature so lacking in self respect
Time for me to delete my speed dial ex

[PoeticWitch]

We are Democrats
We are Republicans
We are Citizens
We are Americans

Black or White
Gay or Straight
Christian or Muslim
We are Americans

No one can take that from us
No one can take our rights from us
But for those we allow
For we are Americans

We fight for our rights
Right of Freedom and Happiness
We fight to help others to achieve these rights
As they are Human Rights

Lets not be divided by our politics
Lets not be little red and blue states
For we are more as our President says
For we are Americans

We are Americans
We are One
Lets show the world the power we can be
For we are AMERICANS!

A man once said
Education costs money,
but then so does ignorance.
And it is true beyond measure.

When we are young
With no care for the world
Our parents pay taxes
So we might go to school

As we get older
And college looms ahead
Scholarships and Financial Aid
Come into play

But some of us are not so lucky
Maybe our grades weren't the best
Or maybe we didn't finish High School at all
So when we choose to attend a school of higher education

We must get school loans
Now we have a choice
Get the loans that will be deferred til sometime after we complete school
Or lose out on the money we could make with Degree in the future

This lack of knowledge,
Lack of information
Is a type of ignorance
And will cost you dearly in the end

So you have a choice
Ignorance with no future to speak of
Or Education with many doors opening to you
Choose wisely

Qoute "Education costs money, but then so does ignorance." is Sir Claus Moser

[PoeticWitch]

We are friends
Aren't we?
So if we met on the street
You would surely greet me

Would you still greet me
Knowing that I am queer as a two dollar bill
And that my partner was born female
Though he doesn't look it

We look like your everyday hetero couple
But what is beneath the surface is surprising
We are democratic or liberal
Never republican that is for sure

Looks can be deceiving to be true
But now that you know what is beneath the surface
Are we still friend for true
Or are you afraid we might rub off on you

Do not worry my friend'
What I have isn't catching in the slightest
Though what I have to say may cure your ignorance
So sit a spell and listen, maybe open your mind just a bit

[PoeticWitch]

I need out of my head
Words scramble together
No longer making sense

My brain is overloaded
With information
That has become meaningless

The meaningless has meaning
But I cannot discern the difference
Because more information is stuffed into my brain

It is spilling out my ears
In globs of gooey information
That cannot be deciphered

Unless perhaps you are Cryptologist
A master at deciphering
A seemingly meaningless information

If you figure out the riddle
Please be so kind
And share it with me

I still feel lacking
With information
To pass my Final Exam

[PoeticWitch]

Months of lies and deception
Feeling as if my soul is deaden
Fighting to draw a breath
As you pile your treachery on my heart

Like a butterfly breaking from its cocoon
I come to life spreading my wings
Seeing your fabrications for what they truly are
And I am free once again to fly

Fly away from this intended corruption
Corruption of my heart and soul
So very precious to me
Never to be yours again

[PoeticWitch]

Time for saying thanks
Time to count your blessings
This is a time for sharing
A time to spread the blessings

Thank you Goddess for my family
Crazy though they are
I wouldn't trade them for anything
We are truly blessed to have each other

Goddess for our next family get together
My request is nerf baseball bats for all
So we might have a bit of fun
Like when we were children again

[PoeticWitch]

This need of yours
Freaks me out just a bit
Not truly a need
But more a craving

A craving close to an addiction
An addiction that seems to control you
Yes this truly freaks me out
I don't like it one bit or even two bits

I do not understand why you crave it so badly
I realize it makes you feel out of this world
But darling this is the world we are on
You should learn to enjoy what we have

What that addiction is showing isn't real
It will fade away to nothing
And I will be standing here feeling left alone
While you float away to some world that doesn't exist

Come back to reality and celebrate it with me
Lets go dancing in the rain
Lets go running in the surf of the Pacific Ocean
Come lets go discover the beauty of our reality together

[PoeticWitch]

Up late into the night
Cramming information into my poor little head
Trying to prepare for the Final Exam
That takes place tomorrow night

Feeling overwhelmed,not just because of the studying
I also just got home from Thanksgiving Vacation
Hard to study like a good little student when surrounded by family
Who you haven't seen in forever and are completely different then you remember.

So here I am taking a bit of a break from studying
To write this little poem
To maybe clear my head a bit
And release some frustration

Maybe going to get some sleep would be better
Because the letters look to be moving on their own now
When letters take on a life of their own
It is totally meant as a sign for bed time!

[PoeticWitch]

The full moon is tonight darling dear
Lets go dancing in the moonlight my love
Bare our hearts and souls to the Goddess above
Holding hands and being One for Her to see

The full moon is tonight darling dear
Close as close can be to the Goddess are we
A frigid fall night is what we have
Lets start a fire to warm the night and dance

The full moon is tonight darling dear
We give our thanks to the Goddess
For our many blessings, seen and unseen
Blessed Be and Merry Met!

[PoeticWitch]

You think you are so smart
You think you are oh so wise
Making witty comments
That is sure to earn you some sort of brownie points
If there were such a thing

Really is it needed?
This smartass comment for everything that is said?
Witty has its time and place
Not all the time and in all places
In the end you just irritate the crap out of me

An everyday boring conversation can be fitting
Sometimes even needed
I am oh so glad you are so damn intelligent
But to shove it in everyones face
Shows lack of tact and common sense

So be kind enough
To keep your supposed intelligence
To yourself for this day
Or else I might duct tape your mouth shut
And make many people rather happy

[PoeticWitch]

Thank you for this early Xmas present
Ever so perfect on these cold winter days and nights
Even the color is just right, neither pink nor purple
Even Loki loves it as he snuggles on my lap

This ever so comfy robe
There is no tie to hold it together
Completely button down
So no accidental views of my naked flesh

So very soft, made of chenille
The only problem now is
That I never want out of it
Can I just wear it everywhere?

Maybe this robe can be considered extra comfy
Dangerously comfy
Never wanting to let go comfy
Though I am sure I will want to wash it sooner or later

But I do love my comfy chenille robe
You have perfect taste of course
Granted you cheated a bit
But that just means you are one smart boyfriend!

[PoeticWitch]

Tis the season
Or so they say
To celebrate Christmas
To love one another
And cherish each other

When does it start?
Where does it end?

Black Friday use to mark the beginning
But how can we start a holiday of love
With such a greedy frenzy
Besides Black Friday starts earlier and earlier now
Even Christmas decorations go up before Thanksgiving now!

An argument about Holiday tree or Christmas tree is going around
Seriously you cannot call it Christmas if it is all about the material
And not about the birth of Christ
Granted I am pagan so it matters not to me
But it saddens me to see so little of the giving spirit except in the material sense

To see children be disappointed by their presents
To destroy the present they did get with spoiled behavior
Rather then saying thank you for getting something at all
Instead of the parents reprimanding the child for such terrible behavior
They send the video to a TV show and laugh

The children for today have no concept of being thankful
They want the latest and greatest
If they don't receive it then of course their parents must not love them enough
Not because their parents work their tails off trying to give their children the best they can
But still falling short because our economy sucks

Being thankful
Being caring
Being loving
Should be a season all year long
Start a new tradition maybe

Less material goods
More quality time
More quality lessons in life
More quality love
Yeah start a new tradition

[PoeticWitch]

Oh Goddess Bless me
Take this ache away
This pain is driving me to distraction
Oh I cannot concentrate
With this throbbing
Aching pain in my face
Yes I know I sound rather redundant
But this pain is extremely
Detrimental to being productive in anyway
Toothaches are one of the worst
In my humble opinion
Oh Goddess mine please!
Take my pain away
I cannot bare anymore!

[PoeticWitch]

So cold and bright out
Every star twinkling in the night
No moon in sight this evening
As meteors streak across the sky

Listen now
It is December now
The holidays are here
Lets give of the heart

The giving of the monetary
Can never be as fulfilling
As the giving of the heart and soul
To those you hold dear

Why break ourselves to give materialistic
When the economy is currently so terrible
Lets go back to the old days maybe
And create our gifts with our own hands

Just a thought I wanted to share
From me to you
Happy Holidays! Blessed Be!
Whatever you might celebrate

[PoeticWitch]

They walk through the halls
Where laughter reigns
Just another day at school
For they know not what is coming

The Angels are walking
Prepared for the horror that is upon us
To escort the tiny souls
To the other side to suffer no more

The Angels move among them
Helping best they can
The Angels can only do so much
To help the passing of these tiny souls

Do not think that God has forsaken
For He has sent the Angels
To help in their time of need
God cannot stop the free will of man

Thank the Angels of the Air
Thank the Angels of the Earth
For they are all Gods Angels
Come to us in our time of need

[PoeticWitch]

Black and white little ball of furry love
You make my heart feel all mushy
Crawl up on my lap for a little nap
Purring happily as I pet your soft fur

Late at night you come to my bed
To crawl under my covers
Snuggling up against my side so soft and warm
Your soft purr like a lullaby to my heart

You are growing more and more everyday
My little baby boy kitty
I can see the future
I can see you a big black and white puddle of fur

I love you Loki dear
You are so dear to my heart
Always making me laugh and smile
For many more years to come
