The One
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
I was all a swivet
As I awaited that special call
The one my friends called kismet
I was anticipating a fall

I thought you were like other men
All the coquetry and then dump me
But to my surprise, I fell again
This time I won't stop me

As we drove, my hair Aealian
First time ever in a fancy car
Can't help but not complain
Because I can see every star

We continued on our first date
Our second and our third
My mind began to wonder, never too late
So much so, it was absurd

I began to dismiss my emotional alarms
My friends began to aver your fealty
You continues to regale me with your charms
Our conversations, serious and heavy

Reason why you're here escapes me
My feelings began to flummox my heart
Taking away the air I breathe
Allowing passion to start

If I thought you were pernicious
I would've dropped you like a fly
But since none of my friends were suspicious
I stayed to find out more and try
You're a very shrewd businessman
But the biggest surprise, you're also a roue

God's Promises
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
In my arms is God's holy book
Teaching me a better pathway
His precocious words are the hook
In my arms is God's holy book
If I would apply them and look
Those promises, will come my way
In my arms is God's holy book
Teaching me a better pathway
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
I remember changing diapers
When you were about two
Remember some of the capers
You'd get yourself into

One such caper comes to mind
We'd all been down to nap
It's been one I'd like to rewind
Because to me, naps were crap

If just one of us were awake
You never would have made the climb
Resulting in a sick mistake
Losing before your prime

Whenever you became a man
Gone away was the clown
I even became your big fan
Though I am not around

You went and became a soldier
And still I'm not around
Circumstance after another
Brought me back into town

I befriended you on face book
To keep myself in touch
With my computer I can look
See how you are and such

To share about myself in turn
My plans to reconnect, soon took a dive
For today, at four o'clock I learned
You no longer are alive
I wrote this shortly after learning that he passed... And then the following day one of the poets on all poetry had a contest going... After taking a minute, I decided to enter.. His comment was that he had no idea that this particular contest would be hard to judge.... Not only that, he said that all of the poems pulled at him...

Whipping Block
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
Why do we allow a hurtful emotion like
Hate into our lives because
Ignorant, disrespectful, idiotic, and hurtful
People have nothing better to do than disrupt our sense of peace
Playing at making others miserable, just to make themselves feel better
Intimidating everyone and
No one in
General just to feel like kings and queens on the street
Before we, the turn the other cheekers
Looking in our own world and
Our hearts
Completely lose our sanity
Killing our souls

Our One True Light
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
Out of the darkness you came
Like a bright shining star
Innocent and pure lacking blame
Everyone knows who you are
You traveled from high above
For all the world to see
Coming from the purest of love
To set all captives free
Free from our own plight
Unbinding all our chains
Making everything right
When we hand you the reins

Attraction to Nature
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
As I sit in the calm meadow
My lips drinking in the sun's warmth
My desire in nature's shadow
Is loving it for all it's worth

Leaving behind my vanity
I pull forth all of my passion
Escaping my humanity
Even if it's an illusion

The sun now sinks behind the hill
My heart grows heavy with sorrow
With parted lips I taste the chill
My thoughts, leading into tomorrow

My emerald blanket under me
Seeking the Goddess through my blood
Ripples in the wind so eerie
Spills my essence causing the mud

I'm suddenly stricken with lust
A never ending strong desire
But it is man I do not trust
Only nature fuels my fire

The moon tonight will captivate
My love for nature eternal
But being human is my fate
Who's to say this is abnormal

Flight of the Hummingbird
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
Having wings of tremendous speed
Sound entwined with a windless day
I watch as the hummingbird feeds
Can't seem to pull myself away

For this small bird seems overworked
A human's yard is his reward
Where feeders of sweet nectar lurk
Before he continues onward

I don't know from whence he travels
But he is a sight to behold
Like a puzzle to unravel
He appears when nature has called

Kriskaia (Coffee Mishap)
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
Kicking myself in the pants
Realizing my coffee is nowhere
I drive back to the department store
Speed is of the essence, as the coffee was expensive
Keeping up the mantra
Almost there, almost there, almost there
I park, get out, only to find
A squashed coffee mug labeled Kriskaia, and a trail

The Day You Died
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
The day you died, you took my heart
You left me many tears
I realized that day, you were a part
Of my hopes and my cheers
Many will say how you turned out
Left naysayers with little doubt
Many will say
Many will say
She knew what she was all about

The day you died, you took my heart
Your boy and girl grew up
Reliving life for the most part
Under your loving cup
They're your biggest accomplishments
Despite their defying torment
They're your biggest
They're your biggest
Treasure, free and very content

The day you died, you took my heart
I now lament your death
For in life you were my spare part
I'll state till my last breath
You've given me so much to share
You taught me how to give and care
You've given me
You've given me
That feeling, I'm walking on air
This piece has just been awarded second place in the contest... Can't believe it! First time ever writing a eulogy, and I was just 2 points shy of first place! Hats off to the judges, and the contest creator Ms. Sarah

Night Terrors
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
The dishes in the sink rattle loudly
The wind howling like the grey wolf
The floors creaking when no one's there
The lights begin to flicker
The shadows move about
Shivers run through me
Someone's watching
The door cracks
Haunted
Night

Honey Bunches of Oats
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
Waking up to my favorite cereal
You've asked what's its imperial serial

It could be the sweet clumps
And believe me, I've grown my lumps

Its flaky flakes are such a treat
As in the morning, they lift my feet

Its mouthwatering taste
Makes me wake every morning in haste

Those sweet clumps
That give me lumps

Are not my favorite cereal's
Imperial serial

Oh what a folly, I did make
It's the honey covered flake

Thirst Quencher
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
I stand on the front porch with parched lips
Awaiting your arrival home
Recalling the sway of your hips
I stand on the front porch with parched lips
As you drove away my heart dipped
Thinking of you, out there to roam
I stand on the front porch with parched lips
Awaiting your arrival home

A Letter to a Cheater
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
A knight in shining armor
You were once to me
But only to my horror
You turned out to be
A man I once trusted
With all of my heart
A heart that's everything and busted
Not knowing from the start
I tried to protect myself
From all of your lies
And put my heart upon a shelf
Despite your wandering eyes
However I will talk to you
To at least throw you a bone
But if you refuse to listen
You'll wind up all alone

I Found You
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
Although I've tasted many wines
You've been the one I've waited for
My heart has finally crossed that line
A place it has never been before
That day you brought me to my knees
You became the gift that keeps on giving
For you I promise hearts and flowers
Everything that's sweet
When you're tired I promise warm showers
And to lift you off your feet

My Sleeping Life
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
As I lay in my bed one calm night
In the sweet safe haven of my room
Hungry for the morning light
Unable to resist impending doom
A random thought so unsavory
Had begun to invade my mind
As the design began to unfold
You came out from behind
The closet of my heart untold
The decision to keep you there
Became the recipe for disaster
But keep you there I must and not share
Because you are my master
The master of my dream
The thunder of my sleeping life
The main event at the seam
The magick  weave of intoxication
Therefore, I must concede

Our Sweet Embrace
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
At the falls on our wedding day
Promise our love will never end
Prepared words we would like to say
At the falls on our wedding day
Everything was in tall array
Up to the sky our joy we send
At the falls on our wedding day
Promise our love will never end

You Complete Me
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
You've captured my attention
Over our many dates
Understanding every mood I have
Comforting me with your embrace
Opening my mind to adventure
Making my heart beat fast
Pulling my heart, back away from my past
Loving me sincerely
Enveloping me with your joy
Taking me around the world
Ensuring me sweet haven
Making my fears disappear
Entertaining as ever my love, you complete me

A Woman's Worth

reflection
mirrored in time
A woman's heart is deep like the ocean
full of emotions and secrets untold
her worth measured
not with gold
but with
love

The Stalker
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
Taking away your peace of mind
Hunting you down everywhere
Every move you make is mine
Stealthily moving in the shadows
Thoughts of tying you up linger
Allowing escalation of my heart beat
Looking for the right words
Killer instincts secretly penned
Even among the grey matter
Rationalizing fear, the brain is the stalker

It's All Greek to Me
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
We lay the first brick in honor
Men of undying strength
Glorifying in our labor
Measuring each piece, in its length

I wanted it looking like this
He will favor me more than you
There is a problem in the midst
This is not the beginning hue

See those uncooperative men
Will they ever begin to learn
I will never destroy again
But doing this will teach in turn

They think that they are out of reach
Soon they'll find themselves unable
Through their now complicated speech
To finish the Tower Babel

A Graceful Dance
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
I'd rather waltz than walk through the forest
Joining the wood nymphs as they will listen
For the satyr's call for more rest
I'd rather waltz than walk through the forest
Listening to the beautiful chorus
My feet will glide, as if on a mission
I'd rather waltz than walk through the forest
Joining the wood nymphs as they will listen

What Do You See
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
Bright
The light
Nobody
Ever saw her
Until she walked slowly into the room
Made up in all black short skirted leather
All eyes on her
No one looked
At her
Eyes

Pins
Dropped down
Collided
On the hard floor
The crowd in the room had fallen silent
The intensity of her gait gave pause
To the hushed crowd
All blinded
By her
Smile

What My Shoes Do For Me
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
I love my shoes, but they aren't mine
They make me feel taller
Borrowed them from the five and dime
Love the hoot and holler
I love my shoes, the men will stare
Walking without the slightest care
I love my shoes
I love my shoes
Awkward glances, I won't compare

I love those shoes, be my angel
On your beautiful feet
You're the one I must entangle
Your shoes turn up the heat
Dancing with you, just feels so right
I can get lost in them this night
Dancing with you
Dancing with you
Come on baby hold me just right

I love my shoes I must confess
They're much too high for me
Might just get myself in a mess
As I fall to my knee
Stilletto heels, they hurt my feet
Each spike connecting with the street
Stilletto heels
Stilletto heels
Will I ever stay on my feet

Common Sense
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
Common sense is now a big must
To live with the masses
Innocence has turned to pure lust
Between the lads and lasses
Pregnancy is bad when you're young
Males excuse is that they have been sprung
Pregnancy is
Pregnancy is
A common made mistake when young

Common sense is now a big must
To text and drive is dumb
As you leave others in the dust
Not thinking you'd succumb
As you wind up strapped to a bed
With bandages about your head
As you wind up
As you wind up
Lucky you didn't end up dead

Common sense is now a big must
Careful with your money
Or you will completely go bust
For being check happy
Problems will soon begin to pounce
They'll come upon you unannounced
Problems will soon
Problems will soon
Come, when your written checks have bounced

The moon has hit its highest peak
The challenge has begun
The alpha has claimed right of speak
The challenger will run
The pack will chase until it's caught
The challenger will likely rot
The pack will chase
The pack will chase
Whomever the alpha has sought

The moon has hit its highest peak
Alpha is on the prowl
The search will never be so bleak
The nose can find an owl
The alpha will teach the pack well
So onward the alpha will tell
The alpha will
The alpha will
Will hold the pack together well

The moon has hit its highest peak
Allowing the pack to see
For the challenger's looking bleak
He can no longer flee
The killing dance will now begin
The challenger is cornered in
The killing dance
The killing dance
The alpha will certainly win

She Wolf N Lust
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
Suspended by cables from the ceiling
He waits for unconsciousness
Every wound dripping on the floor below
Words cannot escape his discarded tongue
Over on the table are tools for torture
Little does he know, that he is not alone
Full white ****** lab coat greets him
Not explaining what she'll do next
Licking her fingers, she takes the knife
Undoing one clip, she licks her lips
Sensual breaths can be heard
Tracing her fingers on his chest, is Shewolfnlust.

Woman In the Mirror
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
The victim of circumstance
Rise to a challenge every day
Waiting for the fantastic chance
To see and blow them away

No hatred marks this patient face
But love and understanding does
Allowing me to win the race
With those around me and above

But I also see a fighter
Someone who takes everything in
Tries to make burdens lighter
So there will be peace again

I see a myriad of things
When I look at my reflection
Wishing at times I had some wings
To break free of the connection

So here's to looking at oneself
Not sure of where I am standing
But my reflection on myself
Will forever be demanding

Death's Promise to Me
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
I promise to come quickly
While watching you one night
You seemed to suffer deeply
They couldn't have been more right
Your bleeding heart
Your ragged breath
You've started to fall apart

My neutral being can't stop
I'm only to transport your soul
Taking you up top
Meeting on the grassy knoll
You'll feel whole once more
So don't be afraid, when I come knocking
Walking on through your door

While on your journey, you will see
Your life in its completion
The only thing, that I can't be
Is a regret deletion
So onward, upward we will go
Before you leave this place
For everyone you used to know
Will have a comforting smile upon their face

Dying For Space
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
Enclosed in the dark
Walls closing in
I've hit my mark
On what lies within
There's that voice
If I choose to listen
My heart starts to beat
Your eyes start to glisten
The voice starts to speak
"Say it's over, goodbye
See ya next week"
Motionless I lie
I'm in a room full of people
Machines and the like
Not in a building with a steeple
But one overlooking a ****
Suddenly, there appears a new voice
One I can't ignore
"If you come back, I'll let you go"
Trying to move is such a chore
And I bolt right up, from the soft bed
Astonished, I came back from the dead
This piece was written for a contest on all poetry, where the prompt was space... I chose to convey the time in a relationship where the person feels smothered....So in order to get any space the poor guy had to die.... hope you enjoy my work...

An Insane Love
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
I see your breath upon the wind
Even in my waking
My state of mind is on the mend
Am yours for the taking
You've captured my soul, none to soon
You've held me spellbound to the moon
You've captured my
You've captured my
Heart making me feel like a loon

I see your breath upon the wind
I will do what it takes
Every rule is worth it to bend
To avoid all heartbreaks
You've changed my life, the way I live
Let's me feel I have more to give
You've changed my life
You've changed my life
This love I feel, is like a sieve

I see your breath upon the wind
Leaving me a message
To challenge all of my close friends
With life to envisage
Fortunately locked up inside
Are all the things to run and hide
Fortunately
Fortunately
Your death, my sweet, I have denied

You see that snoutfair over there
People everywhere gape at him
Could it be his short wavy hair

You see that snoutfair over there
People everywhere gape at him

A Vamperial Thought
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
A random thought goes through my head
Am I covered head to toe red
What will happen when I awake
Will my heart be split with a stake
I lie pale in my coffin bed

Here I lie peaceful with the dead
My coffin bed is made of lead
But my thought is on my heartbreak
A random thought

What was it that my young lass said
Before she filled my heart with lead
"If my life is what you will take,
Please let me see the next daybreak"
And that is when my head filled with dread
A random thought

— The End —
