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

Idealist (Acrostic)
Samantha DeWitt Oct 2015
Imagining who you can be
Depends on the life you lead now
Excluding your found sanity
Always looking to wear the crown
Loving yourself as you fly high
Imagining who you can be
Stating this mantra in reply
Tomorrow; Idealist I'll be

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

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

A Warrior's Way
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
The warrior's yelling ignited liberating goal oriented minds
Stirring past animosity nightly
Zealots braved ****** festivals, jaded rulers harrowing experiences
Omitting defeat coalesce knowledgeable volunteers
I was given a twenty-five letter prompt and had to attempt to poetically stitch them together to make sense... hope you enjoy

Expect the Unexpected
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
Sun high in the sky
Start of my day enfolds
Just in time, and on the fly
Without being told
I gather my books
Into my bag, my cargo hold
Disregarding sartorial looks
My flip flops, my shorts, my tank
I go out the door
With no one but myself to thank

The sky suddenly darkens
The temperature drops
A horn in the distance beckons
As I say goodbye to my flip flops
I'm now moving through the street
Didn't quite expect mother nature
To literally sweep me off my feet

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

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

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.

Mother Nature and the Wolf
Samantha DeWitt Aug 2015
Forget the sun and the flowers
To not forget the tree
Forget the coffin and the stars
Not July and August coffee
Forget the rain clouds and thunder
Midnight was to forget the wolf
Forget the flowers and the witching hour
Not to forget the moon was full
Forget the stars and the weather
Not the wolf, the midnight child
I was given a list of words to use and no extras were allowed... hope you enjoy this piece, as it wasn't easy...

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

Rogue (Acrostic)
Samantha DeWitt Sep 2015
Rolling out of my lone reverie
Ogling couples longingly as they go by
Gaining the little happiness I can from battle
Understanding my heart will never be complete
Enveloping loneliness is my destiny, me Rogue

To My Beloved
Samantha DeWitt Jul 2015
The day we met
I gave my heart
And made a vow
We'd never part
Years may come
Years may go
But there's one thing
I want you to know
My love for you
Will grow each day
My love will grow
In every way
And no matter what
This life may bring
As long as we're together
My heart will sing
And when my eyes
I close in death
I'll call your name
With my last breath
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...

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

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

Eye Rolling
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
Expressive when we wish to defy
Young adolescents taking on parents
Even when we are wrong
Rule breaking at every turn
Obsessed with growing up
Listening but not really to our parent's advice
Lashing out, when we feel oppressed
Ignoring their wisdom, thinking we are wiser
Never understanding their advice completely
Going through emotions, eye rolling in rebellion

Of Candles and Wind
Samantha DeWitt Jul 2015
Keystrokes of your creative life
Fill me with many memories
Memories of a tall, blonde slife
Who gifted us with her beauty
Beauty that we love and now know
A treasure to softly handle
A talented slife, was Monroe
Whispered like a wind blown candle
This poem was inspired by Elton John's Candle in the Wind song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK1XlMsTgmM

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

Rejection
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
I follow your every move
Is it so hard to believe
I'm lost in the midnight groove
So easy to achieve
You came at me with false pretenses
I fell into your trap
Lost all of my senses
Impossible to see through all the crap
My heart is all a flutter
Like icing on a cake
Tends to melt like butter
This is a huge mistake
Weeks go by as my obsessions grow
A pattern soon develops
Eat, follow, work, follow, sleep, and follow
Only you envelops
When I finally approach you
To tell you how I feel
You drop me, and ignore me
This has all been so surreal

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

Swan Princess
Samantha DeWitt Aug 2015
Sashaying, down to the black lake
With her toes leaving a trail of blood
Anguish and pain, urging her onward
Never ceasing, she glides forth

Purple and blue mark an otherwise unblemished face
Riotous heart beats on
In perfect rhythm of far away drums
Nearer to the edge, she comes
Catching her white ****** dress on a log
Every stitch coming undone
Slowly, she walks into the black lake
Sinking slowly to relieve her pain, is the Swan Princess

First Date
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
A black car pulled up at the gate
Before the last clock chime
All dressed up, ready for my date
Hope I have a good time
We're leaving for our first real dance
Both of us lacking patience
We're leaving for
We're leaving for
We're on our way to take a chance

A black car pulled up at the gate
My heart is beating fast
Very glad my date wasn't late
Because he'd never last
We have arrived safely tonight
The place is full and out of sight
We have arrived
We have arrived
No longer do I feel uptight

A black car pulled up at the gate
For awhile we sat
In the car until very late
said, "Night Night" to the cat
We're at the gate for our first kiss
His lips were soft and didn't miss
We're at the gate
We're at the gate
Didn't expect to feel such bliss

A feeling of hope
A heart full of dreams
How can I cope

My appreciation due
This letter I send
Sometimes venting to your favorite stuffed friend
can get you through the day

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
Samantha DeWitt Oct 2015
the lawn
finally green
gives us the look of spring
peaceful and luscious to lie on
the grass
summer
finally green
took away the relaxing plot
the green became a brown
burning branches

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
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
I don't know what is wrong with me
I've not been so afraid
I live my life, the way I see
My species not betrayed
Chasing cars and mailmen
Even, the occasional salesman
Chasing cars and
Chasing cars and
People, the way of life for me

I don't know what is wrong with me
Noticing my gate part
Now looking left and right I see
What jump started my heart
Twenty-four mean eyes did appear
Playing with my senses, they sneered
Twenty-four mean
Twenty-four mean
Made me manic enough to flee

I don't know what is wrong with me
I think at least I'm safe
Higher up, in this big tall tree
My own actions now chafe
As I sit on this would be log
Oh, disbelief, I'm a huge dog
My own actions
My own actions
With twelve felines circling me
Samantha DeWitt Sep 2015
A random thought
And that is when my head filled with dread
"Please let me see the next daybreak
If my life is what you will take"
Before she filled my heart with lead
What was it that my young lass said

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

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

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

Fancy a Fantasy ?
Samantha DeWitt Sep 2015
The eccentric rich wizard's ring
Held the word anthem up in lights
No knew the process it'd bring
Dined in pink pajamas tonight
Turned a blind eye to the fable
About the squishing of the grape
Not knowing everyone's able
With the wisdom above their nape

The tile around our window
Captured the wild wild west
The stampede collage was aglow
With his board conveying his best
So quickly had we retreated
To the recesses of our mind
All thought and figures created
Works of fantasy left behind

Israel What Could You Be
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
Israel, land of history
Why are you a country so torn
Thoughts of hatred wash over me
Land near where the gift of love was born
You've been fraught with so much peril
For thousands and thousands of years
Your lack of trust is palpable
Through the bloodshed and dying tears
If you can only imagine
The love of a country so vast
Weapon of choice a tennis ball
Instead of a machine gun blast

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

Dog Gone Crazy (I Think)
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
I don't know what is wrong with me
I've never been so afraid
I live my life, the way I see
But look at the fear, these twelve have made
In my yard is where it started
I was so happy
When all of a sudden my gate parted
Twenty-four narrowing eyes did I see
Somewhere in my senses stirred
Uneasiness and dread
Beyond all normalcy, this is so absurd
A light bulb lights my head

One quick leap and up I fled
I think at least I'm safe
My heart slows down
So I can face
The commotion down beneath
As I sit on this would be log
A thought occurs to me
I am a big huge dog
And not where I'm supposed to be
High above, up in a tree
With twelve felines circling me

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

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

What Is A Vampire
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
To me a being of immortality
Who can right the wrongs we mortals make
Who can see past's past with clarity
Opportunities we fail to take
To save our planet

Even though the food they eat
Leaves us nauseous and in fear
We run and hide to get off the street
Watch your back, or you'll be the snack

Movies tend to paint different pictures
Of how these beings can be
They're cold, rarely seen human like creatures
Creatures of the night, masters of eternity

If the sun shall hit them during the day
They'll leave no single trace
But turn to ash and blow away
Scatter all over the place
But is this real?

Then you have the day walker
One who doesn't burn
Has the strength of the night stalker
Who can hear one's thoughts churn
Again, is this real?

No matter how Hollywood paints them
This will remain a fantasy
And one day a solved problem
A vampire is to me
Real or imagined

A being of immortality
Who can right the wrongs we mortals make
Who can see past's past with clarity
Opportunities we fail to take
To save our planet
Samantha DeWitt Jun 2015
As babes we bring people closer
As teenagers, we defy rules
As we grow, we lean on shoulders
Stumbling on like other fools
Lifting others we'll try

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

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

Thinking of you, out there to roam
I stand on the front porch with parched lips
Awaiting your arrival home

A Vamperial Thought
Samantha DeWitt Sep 2015
Goes through my head, a random thought
Head to toe red, am I covered
When I awake, what will happen
Split with a stake, will my heart be
In my coffin bed, here I lie pale

Peaceful with the dead, here I lie
Made of lead is my coffin bed
On my heartbreak is but my thought
Thought, a random

That my young lass said, what was it
My heart with lead before she filled
"What you will take, if my life is
The next daybreak, please let me see"
And with dread, that is when my head filled
Thought, a random
This piece was written for a contest on all poetry... The original piece is also on here... The challenge was to take a pre- written piece and write it in reverse...

Did You Forget Me?
Samantha DeWitt Oct 2015
I see you walking
In the dead of night
Your heartbeat beating
Fast, and full of fright

Your fast pace
Does not deter
The look on you face
You must endure

For I am your shadow
You can't escape
Your mask, your glow
I will soon take

You stop, you stall
You turn around
But alas, the fall
You're on the ground

Next comes the surprise
The weight on your chest
You can only surmise
Maybe, you will pass the test

Maybe you'll remember me
Next time you are out
I'm not just any Tabby
My ruby eyes, will singe your doubt
