That Old White Patch
witchy woman Oct 2014
When we look to the horizon hand in hand,  I know we could be so much more than this.
And when we're together you know we're still just kids.
Deep down inside the big brown eyes of the man I...

Is a boy who was gentle and shy and put down and beat up
For just getting by
I see your sadness.
Falling in an unplanned heavy rain
Your soul a heavy burden
Drenched, soaked in pain.

Yet,
When I see you
I remember the sunny days
The seemingly endless fields of grass, covered by a warm haze
It leaves me with no more to say but
how could we ever let that slip away?

Or have we ?
Big brown eyess
witchy woman Feb 2014
Slender body coasting by the corner of my eye
in the darkness of this spacious room we both sit, *******
in chairs facing corners
on opposite sides of the compass.

But I still catch glimpses, I can still feel your energy
pulsing through the floorboards; breathing down my neck,
in every slight movement that makes this old estate creak.

Of all the monsters trapped inside my brain,
trust (& all the issues I've acquired with that)
makes me consider the games you play.
Do you, on all four paws- purr like a kitten in another felines palm?
Does she give you the sun & moon
like I'd so willing do?

maybe, I'm just a little too ****** up for you
a little too off the edge to handle
& a little too needing of some constant state of affection

it is me after all,
right?

But,
it's alright.
I understand,
let me fade away
like footprints in the sand.

Please love,

enjoy all your tomorrows
as I enjoy my todays,
forget my name
forget my face.

about rain
witchy woman Jan 2015
I hope you like dancing in the rain
I'll spin you around and pull you back to me
I sure am glad you wore that dress
It reminds me of the night that we first met
And don't you love the evenings in July?
When I'm staring at you
through my blue eyes

And we could be fine,
We could be fine, fine, fine

So roll the windows down
and put the car in drive
Its starting to rain a little bit outside
And I've had you on my mind
For some time*

witchy woman Sep 2014
I felt a slight urge to go back to all of it
assimilate myself into
something I had so desperately wanted to rid myself of
back into the same methods, ancient routines
all the things we spoke of
were simple tasks and far away dreams

we've gotten what we've always wanted
yet, we still feel all the more haunted
by the lack of structure, mindless bliss.

you can send the kids from high school,
but you can never take high school from the kids.
take me back to the person I used to be
when you were there for me
I know it seems like forever but do me this favor please
way back when we were stupid
held grudges just to help us sleep
oh my god
how ridiculous were we?

She's Said & Done.
witchy woman Oct 2014
The reason why I love you
Must be because I hate myself.
I know, this time and place doesnt help.
But baby this is worse
than any pain I've ever felt

You're killing me slowly  
day by day
I bleed
and my wounds remain unknit,
to spill my guts to the floor to
leave me open
stranded

He watches from aside,
As I kiss his picture
and take my own life
I wonder if he'd even cry
If he had watched me die

succumb to

what I've learned

from early on.

Numb yourself

when the hurt

is too strong.

Numb yourself

when you

feel like

you can no

Numb yourself

so you can

pretend you're

strong.

Numb yourself

last, just another day

Numb yourself

The Pacific
witchy woman Mar 2015
The waves fold over one another, they foam at the mouths of every blue cascading tide.
The shallow sand bar curling their tips
At every rhythmic heartbeat,
swelling, to reach the shore
beneath my bare feet.

Is there anything more beautiful
then standing at the edge of the world?
I doubt that theory, as my eyes
are undoubtebly lost within
each of her watery curls.

I remind myself to let go
this is the only thing on the planet that
exsists right now.
I try my hardest to break free
of all the racing thoughts that
always unforgivingly burden me.

Down my legs they run like
raindrops, through my veins over my feet
I cast them out with light conscience
may they sink with haste
in the deepest realms of the sea.
I love love looooove the ocean so much *** i would marry it

i used to  have something to write about
i used to read just to escape
i used to draw to see what I could create
i used to paint my very last sorrow
i used to throw caution to wind
and not give a **** about tomorrow.
i used to dye my hair different colours and not care about the result.
i used to find new music, good music
then my guitar I would consult
i used to bus everywhere with just my headphones in enjoying the scenery.
i used to see my parents at least once in the evening.  
when warm weather came i used to board until my legs shook and my body was hot a sweaty.
i used to do all these things,
then again,

history
witchy woman Jan 2018
history repeats itself, my friend,
a lesson I've learned time and time again
that mistakes we make will always come back to haunt us

and things we've left unsaid will always scream out
to taunt us.

by and by the wind she tries to sway my fragile
addled mind. and the trees will follow suit for she
(the wind) is one to be reckoned with.

seasons may change,
winter to spring
as the snow melts, 'twill prompt the birds to sing.

and right on time, the warm southern breeze,
carrying a scent of chamomile and

petrichor through the city
so serene.

and how things have changed,
how different
this next year will be.

I'll run through the forest through fields and sunshine
to the lake so cold, and rush in
to escape time.

the inevitable following, silent ghost
the one true thing that scares me the most

is that this is all in the past,
all a dream
all memories
just waiting to be made.

*history repeats itself,
if not now
one day.

witchy woman Oct 2014
Differing perceptions, we divide.
We stumble through the numerous next rhetorical back-hands;
with magnetizing animosity, once again we collide.

Flame on flame, the heat of your tone burns me
because you're so unfortunately locked dead inside
and in I, you've discovered a key.

Toes occasionally submerged between the small bubbles, reflecting off the moon above the sand.
I walk the end of the map, where the ocean pours off to oblivion, your heart clasped within my hand.

I paddle out into the rapids, my last woven strengths carry me
tirelessly overdue, with courage & trial
I return the dead-mans chest to the sea.
I'm done with the dead man inside,
I'm done with the *******
Done with the lies
You no longer have a hold of me
I cast your heart
out to sea.

Goodbye
witchy woman Aug 2014
You remind me of the pale white paper wrapped cigarettes.
Every time you touched my lips
and I inhaled your lust
you killed me.

A simple, mindless state of relaxation,
starting off a loyal friend
and creeping into a addictive enemy.

Pushed to succeed, my body is weak.
Struggling under the pressure, the stigma, the entire situation of just using you as some sort of temporary relief;
it makes me ache.

Yet, you are the evil one
not I.
Living with you for even just another year
I surely wouldn't be alive.

Though I still feel the cravings,
of the comfort and security.
That by some unusual circumstance
you once brought to me.

I try
To move on by
Quitting one thing at a time,

and it sure as hell ain't cigarettes.
I'm over him, detaching my heartstrings

I can't think of the correct words to describe

Black
witchy woman Sep 2018
I'm so low
I wish I could say it's unfamiliar
but this place is like my old home;

here I reside and within it
a part of me dies,
every single second I spend
trapped here alive.

Everyone is thinking forward
and here I am trapped in my head
sleep, the sparse hours I receive
are the closest thing to comfort I get.

I wish I could just stay in bed.

I don't wanna die, not yet
no, not yet.
I just want to live a day where my bones don't feel like lead.

And my muscles don't feel like they'll contract
so suddenly,


and **** me on their own accord.

Or that my organs won't turn black
and start oozing from my every pore.
So when you ask me what's going on
I'll say, I'm tired, I'm stressed, I'm bored.

But in reality, I'm hurting
every part of me is sore.

Please don't worry,
and please don't stress.
I hate to see you cry.
Don't stay for me,
you'll be stuck here forever
I'm just waiting to die.

castaway
witchy woman Nov 2018
cast out to sea,
caught on a rock
with waves crashing around me.
we used to sail,
we used to rise
we used to float on waters, endless
ebb and flow with the tide.
but as the storm approaches,
my thoughts grow weary
the compass points in all directions
we both jump ship in fear of steering.
I'm stranded, wet and cold
in a storm of sadness, confusion, anger
it has come the time, for us to decide
are we a lifeboat or an anchor?
witchy woman Mar 2014
What a human concept- time.
The fact we choose to live our lives defined
by something so different,
all across the globe.

These passing of the hours
always "on time", meeting the next deadline
under these pressures we often cower.

Yet,
look to the trees
at the seas,
in the sky
and tell me which one is worrying
over losing a little time?

None.
Mother Nature couldn't be happier
then to plant herself down
and live every moment to it's fullest
letting days, weeks and years
slip by.
I think I'm gonna live on my own time

Anchor your weary heart, and allow your soul to breathe.

to guide you

branches surround me gracefully
I go to touch your silky leaves,
but the wind takes them away from me.

where do the dogs go when
they chase the silver moon?
they hunt the night, stars in sight
that come and go too soon.

I wish to lie in a bed of grass,
surrounded by the night sky and city.
though not the jungle I prefer
the skyscraper lights look so pretty.

take my breath away, natural humming high
but not quite, as magnificent
next to the multitude of constellations
reflected in your eyes.
breathe in the morning summer air that makes its way across the grass

I can't describe my dislike
I loath you
I despise you
I wish all but unhappiness upon you
I hope you realize all you've done and wallow in self pity
Or have someone prove you wrong
I know how much you hate that
I hope someone beats the absolute **** out of you
To show that your not the strongest in the world
Or you OD on all those drugs you take so you realize your not invincible
I'm repelled
Disgusted
Appalled
So much by your presence
That I nothing you.

        kissing your lips
is a feeling unlike many.

So as you stand

smoke trailing from

Sun kisses horizons break
they dance across my face and wake me,
streaming through my window panes.
The sky outside is heavy blue, the wind ever boisterous. Between the garden of sound and clock radio, my head is full of voices.
today is a winding road, that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
I rake my hand through my hair and roll out of bed, the song on the radio clears the noise in my head reminds me of a simpler time, of something you said,  
today in the blink of an eye I'm holding onto something and I do not know why, I try
I tried to read between the lines, I tried to look it your eyes, I want a simple explanation for what I'm feeling inside
gotta find a way out, maybe there's a way out
"Your voice was the sound track of my summer"
They ring loudly through my eardrums, the rest of the world at a distant hum. Memories and stories flood instantly, a flash storm in the middle of a sunny morning.
do you know you're unlike any other? You'll always be my thunder
And suddenly I'm lost, in the past in the moment of times we never thought would end. We both got too far, and became afraid. We never said goodbye, we simply walked away.
your eyes, are the brightest of all the colours. I don't wanna ever lie another. You'll always be my thunder

how they caress each syllable
each careful vowel you choose.

how those lips caress my skin
gentle then needing
hard and fast, and between breaths
sensual and teasing.

afterwards you'll get me water,

I don't even need to ask

night dance
witchy woman Feb 2020
I live in a world all my own
inside my head
through fantasy, I roam.

One of magic, heroes, and might.
One of darkness, clouds, and endless flight.

I could lay in bed and dream my life away
no wish or want for the reality of the day.

Realism pushes through my blinds at sunrise,
reminding me I need to wake,
and live my dull, mortal life.

I depart from my dreams with trembling breath, goodbye.

Until I return to dance with my thoughts at night.
Hiatus is hopefully over! Just a little poem thing. I've been a dreamer since I was a child, always wanting more than the existence life gave me. Lately, I've been watching shows with people with superpowers. I've been trying to decide on what I would want and its between flying, reading and transmitting memories, and ultra-strength and combat skills.

I find myself
The cause
Of my own misfortune
Misguidance
And misery

A dream without your gracious gaze
And a life without your presence
