5 minute poetry

[Cloud Strife]

Another untitled poem.

Clipped his wings,
Pulled heartstrings,
Fickle feelings,
gently kneeling.
Bated breath,
No time left,
Love longlasting,
No more; crashing.
Final hour,
Wilting flower,
Love's well is dry,
He'll fill it; he cries.
Broken hearts,
Empty parts,
Wounds cut deep,
Losing sleep,
Feeling regret,
Feeling upset,

Left wondering what could've been,
Left wondering if he had sinned.

You who cry too easily, you who hurt
For why do you weep so?
It's not your problem
It's not your life
Why do you open your eyes
And allow others to look in them?
They are the windows to your soul
Inviting all of the pain and you bear it
Your heart is beating,
Others think you're strong
The front you put up,
Showing the face of a lion
And when you break down,
You tell yourself
"I can do this, I am strong. I will not falter."
Is it possible to be too open?
To show too much?
And yet you still weep,
The tears you thought lost
For others, for others only it seems.
Not a drop for yourself,
How much you don't care
For others you keep living,
For others you try
For yourself?
There is no strength to support you
And all that you tell yourself
And all that you hold to be true
That one thought whispers in your mind
....liar, lionheart....

Creative Passion/Lease of life

The last bird flies
up to the stars
a gentle sprint
so long bottled up
a creative passion
(for a new lease of life.)

[Cloud Strife]

Meh, not one of my best, but it's something. Enjoy.

The darkest night is now offset,
The falling snow melts all regret,
Bringing bliss with its' gentle touch,
That time of year we love so much.

The season of quite merry cheer,
The season that we hold most dear.
The season of resounding joy,
For every girl and every boy.

We spend our time around the fire,
Enjoying all our love; no ire.
The time of year where we spend time,
With friends and family; don't cost a dime.

Christmas present, future, past,
All of them have one that lasts
In our minds, we hold it dear,
The loving memories oh so clear.


Merry christmas, everyone.

Alone, alone, so alone
This one man, solitary where he walks
Every time he reaches out
For someone, for anyone
It comes back at him sharply
It never works, it's never there
So far away, stars above his reach
He doesn't cry, but the sadness is still there

Like the lone wolf that cries
He runs through the winter
Searching for his own paradise
Falling in the drifts, he presses forward
Stopping such at a lonely flower
That dares to bloom with such passion
Maybe this is what he seeks?

But no, that flower is not for him
And once again the pain strikes
He leaves, wondering why
Doesn't he deserve some peace, some rest?
He has traveled so far, and for so long
He continues that trek
The only show of sorrow in his golden eyes....

[Cloud Strife]

"Liar"

A liar, a cheater,
Found out how you treat her,
An act, just a play,
White and black turning gray.
Finding her weakness,
Projecting bleakness,
Another sorrow,
An act to borrow.
Leaving quickly,
Acting sickly,
You made her worry,
Now feel my fury.
Caught in the act,
I find you trapped,
Now no more games.
You are so lame.
A swift recourse,
Resounding force,
The anger growing,
With you unknowing.

Your time is up, now you've been found,
I'll beat you down, into the ground.

[Dante]

Posted at Spok's instigation. And because it entertains me.

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt, he farts.

[Cloud Strife]

"Drowning"

The lonely waters stretch for miles,
Just one more of life's harsh trials,
Not a soul within my sight,
Sun is setting; lacking light.

The warmth is gone, now comes the cold,
No fire, no light, not feeling bold.
Fear, like darkness, engulfing me,
Drowns me in dark reverie.

I start to swim; I must escape!
Swim back to that cursed cape.
A place where death and chaos rule,
The only people there are fools.

My arms give out, I start to sink,
The water welcomes me, I think...
My life is passing, my torch is doused,
I sink to where my world was housed.

My breath no longer can be held,
Breathe out, then in; lungs now upwelled,
Choking, thrashing, quite awake,
I'm paying now for my mistake.

I gasp, which only makes it worse,
Though now I can't tell if it hurts,
I final thought, a peaceful look,
Laugh at the world I have forsook.

[Funka Genocide]

I just want some candy and a soda
and maybe some absolution
no wait, make that absolut

floating... floating...

sink already goddammit! I aint got time for this crap!

thank you, and good night.


now for something else:


I'm living on the sea
how quaint? impossible?
my savior is these walls
of steel which bore me this way and that
protector of a destiny for which I have no stake
purveyor of a will which I can't quite call my own
just another faceless soldier,
a dead man with hubris yet to live

close my eyes and wish I were
someone with their life still theirs
I'm dreaming, wake me please
the longer lived in fantasy, the harder life becomes
just give me my guns
and I'll kill a little more for you

I don't expect a welcome home
I don't expect your love
I do not want your hypocrisy
just please forget me
and never look my way again
I've killed enough for you
