My Poetry

• The Ninth Child

  In the land of shrouded dreams on the edge of a cliff
  I saw a fair child upon a dark cloud adrift

  How do I feel at this very moment, you ask?
  Barbwire coils around my heart.

• Lady In White

  Fare Lilith stood by William's grave
  In the dress she was to be wed.

  Sheer white cotton mist draped across a yellow moon.
  Dark chiffon puffy clouds drift like black balloons.

  I am pleased to have met your acquaintance.
  
  I have to tell you a little something about my experiences with God. I used to always be confused on whether he actually existed because when I went to church, people would always say they're following his will and preached doing good in the world. Yet, when services were over on Sunday afternoon they'd go back to drinking, backbiting, smoking and everything else they didn't want to admit to the other six days of the week. The last time I joined a church (three years ago now) everything was cool right up until I got baptized (for the eighth time in my life, I think, since they had me convinced that every other church was wrong in their approach) and then, suddenly, I was expected to be perfect. No more jeans (and I hated dresses, so you can believe I rebelled against that forever); no more dyed hair, no makeup, no jewelry. Basically, you couldn't even have an identity. And I remember sitting there forever, the pastor and deacon and teachers emphasizing over and over how "evil" we are. It never sat right with me. It still doesn't.
  
  I decided that after New Year's of '04 I would never step foot in a church again. And I haven't. I still believe in Christ, his teachings and his message, but after I noticed my depression worsening, I knew something had to be wrong...and no longer was I the problem. Christianity (the way it is currently administered) and I have since parted ways and I have never felt better, spiritually or otherwise.
  
  These last years I have studied other religious pathways and determined that they're basically the same, with differences that suited the times they came about but with the same basic message. The God you know and the God I know is not one of blind vengeance or hatred, prejudice or punishment. And I refuse to believe that people would choose to do evil over good were they left alone. People do as they know and if we don't know any better, well... you get my drift. Besides, we cannot be faulted for something we do not know.
  
  I am glad for whoever started you on this new pathway. I hope it is one that will help you prosper in all ways. I would like to have a dialogue but only if you are interested. A benefit may come from a sharing of one's beliefs, as long as the person isn't trying to force you to believe as they do.
  
  Take care.
  
  Many blessings,

  batteredangel - I entered this pre-write as a bit of a defence against the blacky magicy stuff and the horrid wee trick or treaters that go about scaring old ladies. See, in the UK (not sure if you are USA, didn't look - soz - nasty wee boys put fireworks through old ladies' letter boxes, etc etc etc. I like a party as much as the next woman, but think FUN should be key - not the rotten stuff. SO UPSHOT IS - this is my cute witch poem. But I can still be VERY BAD INDEEED (only if necessary though!!) Great contest xx chilli xx
