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

mask that helps me breathe
hides my heartbeat in my feet
gas invades my skin
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
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

moon on horizon
close enough to pause and touch
brings tranquility
5-7-5 haiku contest all poetry where the moon on the horizon is the prompt

Black as night I try to move
My feet don't leave the ground
About midnight, I'm in the groove
But you are nowhere to be found

My heart is beating faster
As I stumble through my door
Trying to forget the disaster
That you chose to ignore

Those many hospital trips
That turned into a stay
But not a word from my lips
Would my feelings betray

For many moons the words "I'm quitting"
Came through as a solemn vow
My smile and hopes ear splitting
I was very proud

Years went by, and then turned out
It was fun to laugh and poke
But what came about
Was a big mistake, one cruel joke

Black as night I try to move
My feet don't leave the ground
About midnight, I'm in the groove
But you are nowhere to be found
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
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

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.

the blue sky above
holds the biggest secret
not counting the science
Samantha DeWitt Feb 2020
Picturesque in their presence, we stand.  Sloping hills beckon us to an icon's call to succeed in life.  Remembering tangles assailing like addled brains.  Sheer pull pushing us on.

sloping hills
take us out of the humdrum
often
my first haibun

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
no rain

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

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

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

I grow with sun and water
Planted in one spot
Be it son or daughter
I tend to hear a lot
They come with all their heartache
Their complaints and their secrets
Knowing with each thought I intake
That they'll have no regrets
And they can spill their heart
Knowledge I can never impart
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

Not a physical embrace
Fills me with warmth
On my face is a sign
Connected to your heart
There's love in your words
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
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
Samantha DeWitt Feb 2020
you left me
drowning in a pool of beer
my core in utter debris
to recede my warmth and cheer

solely roads
waiting anger to recur
hidden from the speech has shone
the backbone of strength I've earned

often lies
fleeing from my hidden pain
from the rain you lean to drive
tired eyes to a big plane
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 Aug 2015
The time, dismal
Caught she cries
To her own detriment
Because of her lies
Situation, not escapable
Caught she cries
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

Years ago I met someone
Who asked another for a ***
At first I thought he was so far gone
That he wanted someone in drag
I knew he was from out of town
By the way he walked and talked
I bit my tongue, eyes to the ground
Was careful where I walked
Soon found out the day we met,
He was just asking for a cigarette
This piece has nothing to do with what is in the media, this is same words for different things...

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

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
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
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
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
