Best Voodoo Poems

trickle down economy
pissing away 
the poor
pissing off
the middle class
as less and less
our paychecks
pay the bills
ironic how 
when I was
still in diapers
the rich got taxed
 a whole lot more
and yet
Prosperity -
along with rock and roll -
was King
Now it’s all about
protecting those
whose money 
no one sees
as it...

I pricked my finger 
on a thorn of Voodoo roses
felt the stab of crimson
and sweet burn of saffron
in a tequila sunrise
I smelled apples but tasted oranges
as a clock chimed with mockingbirds
in the chartreuse trill of Spring
Summer's cerise burn passed 
in a steamy haze
with the glistening...

Again, this time comes.
I shall undress these freckles
and wear your youth in honor.
Long journey of life.
Seconds of sand in my glass
shall fall upon your small hands.

Young beautiful nurse.
My husband older than I;
paralyzed and mostly mute.
My son, young like you;
if you only knew- my son
taught me...

God sent you 
into my life 
to wake me from the dead

But you broke my heart devoured my soul 
and dragged me through hell instead

Because you’re evil
You’re a demon
You’re a witch on the devils crew
You make me dance like a puppet on fire……
With the curse...

She was tall and lovely from 'way down south,
she had blood on her hands, blood on her mouth.
She got voodoo spells and incantations.
She lived on one of those big plantations.
Had she done something bad? Well I don’t know.
She went by the name of Marie Laveau.

She...

There's a person you'd like to curse,
so a voodoo doll, then make first;
Upon that doll now cast a spell, 
summoned from the wicked in hell;
Now you need some pins and needles,
bring the pain of pitch forked devils;
The length of pins make sure are long,
the devils...

MY VOODOO BRIDE
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS



Married only three hours still in jubilation
My beautiful bride natures finest creation
A seaplane trip to an island just east of Haiti
I had in my life a model of unmatched beauty
She was tall and ambled with a certain flare
Red ruby lips contrasted...

voodoo doll
with your sewn on smile
black button eyes
that cuts my darkness in half

you love me with 
your haitian nights
down on the island
with your scented candles

you cast a spell on me
with your blue denim jeans
sparkling magic of
southern mystery

the french quarter 
spins in my mind
slow down the...

Today I made a craft
It turned out really well
I made a little doll
Then cast an evil spell

I borrowed some of your hair
And a clipping from your toes
Then I went all through your closet
And stole some of your clothes

This doll is really neat
I can’t wait to...

A voodoo doll
That’s what I am
A toy for your make believe
 Only for the usual 
you know ummm mass destruction spree
The originator from my New Orleans
Creation of the MRS. Voodoo witch queen
Don’t tell her though
But In my new orleans
A voodoo doll for me
A voodoo doll...

Here I am

a voodoo doll

made from rags

of what is left

filled with organic lavnder

of what once was

squashed between two palms

without a lifeline


I  am here

whilst you are there

beneath our waxing moon

embroidering my heart

with mourning cross-stitch


'I don't want to say

what I feel to say'

'I don't want to...

Chase the voodoo to sleep. sleepless freaks i see in the silver screens blocking the vision of me. there's no choice but to eliminate hate inundating the mind. please mute the voices haunting the airwaves making me blind. the big bad budding burden flashing red...

porch light midnights
your voodoo kisses
drifting in the fog to
french quarter sidewalks
walking on the ghosts
of southern intimacy

antique balconies with
green wooden shutters
half shadows of you and i
sweet handmade pralines
floating on a cypress stump
walking on water for
a taste of you

casting your spell
with your chicken foot wand
you melt me...

In El Paso town is where "The Head Witch" make her nest
She is smart, clever mean, evil to the heart
her tentacles to grab her prey, reach far and wide
Been at war with this old heifer for 25 years, she claims to be the best
And she...
