5 minute poetry

[BlackMageGirl!]

Why does this one think it is all about them?
Why do they want to hurt, over and over again?
Reality, different to all that see it
To some it is plain, others all pain
And the center of it all, they would admit

Centered, that they are
Really, it came too far
To make light of the situation
Always making this complication

Your infatuation with me not desired
There is no reason to even bother
Leave it be, let it go
Turn your attention to better things

[Funka Genocide]

for someone who claims to have experienced so little of love, you find expressing the sentiment easy enough it seams. That was beautiful Lycanthrope.

heres a quick one


the pall of twisted verse
and oh, tis such a curse
and to but stay the course
I find these words so terse

memorable and sordid
an evening spent so candid
and how I lay beside her
amazing what she did

thanked so gently for a moments passing romance
my furtive sight laid low by her.
who first taught me love of dance.

[BlackMageGirl!]

His journey has gone on
To make it all work, financial barriers
He has to give up something to compensate
A precious thing....his time

He gives me a kiss on the cheek
Whispers that it doesn't change anything
I hold him and whisper back
I'll be here, I'll wait for you to return...

And he goes off into the night
I stand there, a tear in my eye
But a smile on my face
For I know, we will meet again.

[Cloud Strife]

"Trapped"

My thoughts within are still unknown,
I search them out, they haven't shown.
They're hiding from my concious mind,
Left me mumbling, stumbling, blind.

Truth, no longer reach my ears,
The lies confuse, causing tears.
The evil voice verbally slaps,
Yet lures me closer to the traps.

My steel cage within me now,
Starts to crumble; not sure how.
The lies, like light, shine in the dark.
Glows through the darkness near my heart.

They seemed to brainwash, and made it so
Enemies are friends, friends become foes.
My mind cried out, then finally snapped.
I'm me no longer; Just one more trapped...

[Funka Genocide]

oh divine angel warrant me
who has afforded shelter
to an empty heart or three
a simpler state of mind

destructor of my vengeance
and ruler of my mind
you've salvaged my repentance
from graveyards without corpses

hello again then
you holy vision
not so often
I see you 'round

[Cloud Strife]

"Falling deeper"

Blinding lights upon his foes,
He sees them and their untold woes.
In this one rests a scar so deep;
No light from me, for I've been reaped.

The final words from my own friend,
"Live for yourself, until the end."
I took these words to heart, enthused,
Since then I have been quite abused.

Light grows dim, no longer reaching,
I am slacking in my teaching.
The words come up, but don't come out.
Within me lies my darkest doubts.

Final thoughts, too late for me,
Underneath this old oak tree,
I should have helped, but it's too late,
I've shriveled from one once so great.

The living world I now forsake,
The truth appears, I'm in its' wake.
Overwhelming, flowing tears,
The truth reveals darker fears.

Into the depths of death I go,
Engulfing now, I cannot know
That just three words would have made it true.
Why couldn't I just say that I love you?

[Aeria]

Crushed and destroyed, completely downhearted.
Cast down and dejected, now we've been parted.
Melanchol thoughts, and Spiritless deeds,
Despondent for hours, I'm crying, so please,
Do not ask for reason for crying just now,
Or why I'm unhappy. I'm taking a vow...
Never again will I let myself feel
So deeply devoted, 'till I'm sure it is real.
So don't ask "Why glum, my pulchritudinous friend?"
Ask yet "What will you do, once heart is mend?"
And then I will answer, as best as I'm able,
And I'll live sober life, where feelings are stable.

I don't feel like this poem is that great... It doesn't feel as inspired as some others that I've written, but that just tells me that I'm really not that depressed, and I'll be ok! Hurray for hope!

A wish

Twinkle twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are,
And why you shine so brightly so,
And if my dreams to you will go.

I make a wish on special star,
The one I've wished to times before,
I make my wish from locked up heart,
And from my deepest hopes I part.

My wish is this, and simple still,
Bring comfort here, and where you will,
Comfort those who are in need,
And those who've suffered just as me.

Bring them peace, and bring them love,
You are so high, far up above,
They look to you to make things right,
So guide us with your tiny light.

You are our hope, our guiding star,
No matter how far away you are,
And while you shine so brightly so,
To you our dreams and wishes go.

I think that that one is much better. I must have hope. Woohoo!

"Mono"

Dodging, dancing, twirling, skipping
I move in this little dance
Never wavering, crystalline laughing
Lightly I create my own tune
And you follow me, mystified

Weaver weaver, little dreamer
I shall give you the silver lined truth
To cover up all the lies
You can't see the future
You can't take the blame
You let the wool cover your eyes

And it frays, the fragile bond between us
I now dance a different way, another road
You follow, you follow, and you grow impatient
Things have changed, the silver lined cloud
Has tarnished around the edges, you panic
Things can't change, you won't let it

And in that desperate rage, you polish it briskly
To make it shine again, to make it bright
I weave more tales for you to wear
But the threads less vibrant, lost their luster
Along with the light in my eyes, I fade

And you continue to wear those garments
No longer of silk, rough as the plainest linen
And you guard close that cloud selfishly
You are the only one, I am there just for you
And with each new suspision that grows
The bonding rope, now a thread, frays even more

I am not a bauble, I am not a jewel
Not just a drug for you to take
Not a doll for your amusement
Not a trophy to be put on your wall
I will not let myself be reduced to an object
Never again....

[Cloud Strife]

This poem is untitled, and kinda random...but, as always, enjoy.

Random ramblings,
Several handlings,
They pass it around,
Many will drown.
The influence
Of inference
Leaves me reeling,
Without feeling.
Let truth be told,
I am not bold,
I cut them slack,
They don't hold back.
They laugh, I cry,
They live, I die.
The void's been growing,
Left me unknowing.
The final shot,
I've killed the lot.
Too much to take,
And now I break.

[Funka Genocide]

funny ploys of happenstance
and that I wish I had the chance
is perhaps the hum'rous part
to those who do not know the start

play that string you always do
even though you always knew
the song we wrote would never air
it helps to know your always there

even seething from the shadows
plotting deeply only god knows
eyes like daggers towards my back
with open arms I'd let attack

you who knew me best of all
and never once had a qualm
about our words, so tense at times
"you too my love?" the wind so chimes

then bleed me dry, with loving fervor
and let slip my heartfelt murmur
from these lips true love would poor
faster than opens deaths old door

"I loved and lived, and all for you
I gave into my sorrows too
but that you see me at the last
makes amends for wasted past"

another one:


never, such a lovely word
when said she'd never leave me
and to those lines I hold
so sad that I hold them alone

always, it hurts so much to hear
that she always thought of us
as something with a limit
and time, it has expired

so carry me against the tide
through tow'ring heights within
kill every scene along the way
that I shared with her

and so the pages turn
backwards through the days
spent together and alone
with a shadow, torn within

it seems the only salve
is to burn away this book
the tome of foolishness
I once called open love

but pause in my endeavor
I've reached an empty place
tearful though the stories been
it seems I will write on

because I must, because I must...
