One Eyed Witch..a poem ONE EYED WITCH I dropped a vase some time back, and now I sleep with one eye open lest it falls again. I have found the strongest glue and put it back. I have found the strongest armor and caged this vase yet I sleep with one eye open and then the next night I close the other and open the other. Let me tell you , I did not ask for this endeavor or maybe I did. I would…

There is something wrong with me but I hope we finish this dance before you notice. My left shoe is on my right foot and my right on my left. If you dare ask me, I will tell you philosophically there is nothing wrong with it. Not that I know what philosophy is. It is just a big name I heard on the  radio yesterday. Will it please you that I have never switched these shoe laces since I bought…

Once was, Never is, Once is, Never was ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Tales told, Stories forgotten, Tales forgotten, Stories told ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. There was a time, A time of thrive, Thrive of solemn tasks, But strength is gone ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Why?I…

I loved that her face was pretty, And I asked for her, She gave me her soul, I could not accept it, I did not like the scars, Or perhaps I did not even see her scars, I wanted her smile, But not the pain behind the smile, It was easier to believe she was crazy, For in the simple things she found pleasure, The concept of her existence scared me, She spoke the language of the gods, In…

Oooh dear, Pain, Pain, Pain, It hurts again, Oooh my heart, You stupid thing, Now look you are forever stolen, Oooh my heart, You stupid thing, How do you expect to live? When you belong to another, God, Why do I get dropped like nothing? Even the fall of the devil wasn’t this hard, Am I nothing? Oooh God am I nothing? Oooh God am I nothing? Even Lucifer’s fall from heaven…

I wonder if it bleeds, That void cavity, For my heart left to be with another, But that other has another, Deceived, But I was already broken, A soul never touched, Oooh that miracle, The miracle of feeling, But ooh dear the pain, It was just me, I loved, Oooh to love, Beauty and pain, For to smile at their existence, But crash, Crashing every nerve of thought, For how dare you…

I shall run because maybe there is hope, They told me at the crossroads, I shall find Jerusalem, So let me run from this dragon before my skin turns crisp, For this dragon breathes fire, Let me run to the people of Jerusalem, The dragon flies, The dragon walks, The dragon runs, The dragon taunts me, For I cannot that fast, The overfed pig is faster, In weakness, Let me find…

I am the holy clergy man, I am going to pray for these sinners, Then dine with my righteous clergy, I don’t want to be as stained as them, Oooh these unfortunate souls, And I don’t know what to do about that beggar at the church gate, He is chasing away my congregation, A fly to my soup, Or maybe we should create another gate , I am the holy clergy man, What is that alcoholic man doing…

It is daylight now, The warm embrace of the sun engulfs me, We were never heroes of anything, Just confused creatures under the sun, We were never heroes of anything, We were all villains of each other’s stories, Can one be a hero if crowned villain in another story, Another question to the many questions, Oooh but what acts of tomorrow, We are not newborns whose past was the mother’s…

Vague memories of those days, Days when I had yielded to the woes of life, And cared for nothing, Stressed about nothing, Passively going by life as it unfolded, But oooh I do remember her, I don’t know how it all began, But I remember the urge to see her, Every time she walked into a room, It took away my breath, I wanted to talk to her, I fancied telling her, But where was the…

Should we talk about it? Nowadays I hide, Because I hate the pressure society brings, And I realized the society we all sing about, Complain about, Are the people that surround you, And so when we say society expects you to be this, It is not the person three thousand miles away, But the people closest to you, Yet what I desire most is freedom, Freedom to be me, Freedom to create my…

Her face twitches as the breeze blows, Her tail hanging away from her body, Yet she doesn’t worry something will bite her tail, Her eyes are closed unbothered by the world, But ears alert, And she rests on a rock, But makes it look soft, Her tummy moves slowly as she breathes, And beside her, Her beautiful grandmother, Wary of the hen and cock, That came running past them, She stays…

She feels the need to strive, Feels the need to be free, Feels the need to be happy, In her mind, She wants to believe, Believe that she will see better days, Believe that every dream will come true, And in her mind, she seeks consolation, To be strong and have the gallantry to face life, And in those dark days when she feels like it won’t be, She feels weak, She feels helpless, And…
