5 minute poetry

[Durandal]

I wrote this a couple years ago- Cloud might recognize it('twas in the school paper), but for the rest of you-

Beneath Cerulean Skies

A distant shore
A good friend
The rolling seas
And laughter beneath cerulean skies

White clouds
Green grass
Moist dew
Ancient memories
Of laughter beneath cerulean skies

Tall trees
Clear brook
Radiant smile
Sapphire eyes
Far away dreams
With laughter beneath cerulean skies

[slightly aboveaverage man]

He strains his eyes so he might glimpse,
An image of devine beauty.
To his eyes she's a delicate Nymph,
And his heart is filled with a lovers glee.

As he sits there admiring her,
His mind wonders at the sight.
He feels within a giddy flutter,
As he dreams of her in his arms at night.

He dreams of snuggling by a fire place,
Dreams of sleeping within her hold,
To be in the presence of such grace,
What if with her he could grow old?

But soon his fantasy comes to and end,
And cold realization dawns.
For bitter memories, he comprehends,
And the thoughts of pleasure gone.

For nineteen years he's walked this earth,
And none would give him chance.
He shields his loneliness with mirth,
As to not draw a glance.

Two decades and never kissed,
One decade since holding a hand.
A life he spent without any bliss,
A life he can no longer stand.

So his gaze turns then to his friends,
Who's intellegence, Phisique and charm,
Has netted each of these men,
A lover in their arms.

But he jokes with them, granting laughs of Hollow,
Creating the illusion of good cheer.
To hide the enveloping sorrow,
To hide the flowing of his tears.

So he takes his leave, gone is his hope,
He leaves that wonderous, lovely dove.
Before his face with tears is soked,
Because him she would never love.

For every stranger breaks his heart,
Every couple makes his soul die.
So he pours his pain into his art,
And himself to sleep, he cries.

[Cloud Strife]

There is a man who feels alone,
Can't touch his friends, call on the phone,
They all seem far away right now,
He wants to visit; don't know how...

Alone, misplaced, misunderstood,
A great young man, we know he should
Realize that he's not alone, he has friends
Who would gladly be there until the end.

The main hurt in his life, a lack of love,
No peace for him, no normal dove,
A man, few words, cannot just show,
He feels that she just has to know...

He loves her deeply, but can't compel
His feet, his mouth, he just can't tell
Her just how much he loves her so...
Afraid she'll give him a death blow.

Fear of rejection, so far off base,
Gather your courage, slow your heart's pace.
Give it time, and be kind to her;
Someday you'll work up that nerve.

[Thaumaturge]

What you seek,
Can be found in time,
What you lack,
Can be built up within,
What is not seen by others,
Can be seen in time.

Ask one who sought long himself,
The search can be long and lonely,
Closed doors are wounds to the heart,
And no end is clearly in sight.

But it is better to keep searching,
To keep risking the pain,
To always have some hope,
Than to abandon hope completely.

[BlackMageGirl!]

For one who has walked alone
For years, trailing tears
Sitting on that lonely throne
Keeping inside all of those fears

The loner, walking among that sandy shore
Was sure of life giving back, nothing more
Who would even think to look their way?
And who would whisper those words, to say

A lifetime spent, lonely sighs
Putting up shields, lonely eyes
One who has kept their own company
The emotions build up, oh so many

You who believe that nothings left
You who is cut off, set adrift
You who thinks that there is no hope
You who has lost the strength to cope
Remember this: even though it seems so
You have friends, you are not alone...

Floodgate:

the righteuos few who know my plans,
cannot hold back the sourmounting waters.
only I have the the key,
to block these rising waters.

And those who try to posses it,
will not survive the journey,
for it is daunting at the least,
and leaves one wishing for the journey...

And as I sit here, striving to hold
back the floodwaters of my plans,
I wonder what made me create,
those bold, emittered, spiteful plans...

Some inner rage, some outside influence?
I'll never know, for here I toil,
Atlas, holding the world on my shoulders,
seeking to stop the forecoming toil...

Maybe shadows clouded my vision,
as I sought to endanger this world,
but now it matters not,
for I must save this unforgiving world...

the looming darkness, of my creation,
foreshadows all that I have done,
I must stand here in the valley,
to stop thy kingdom from becoming done...

it is with a heavy heart,
I stand here against this rising flood,
to be the key to its prevention,
I must be the flood gate, against my own flood...

[Lost in Time]

Here's some more poems

Use The Pain For My Sanity:

There is no point to this invention of life
I've found no point in believing anymore
Faith and hope thrown out the window from my very grasp
Angry thoughts run through my mind
Like a lost toy factory running on nothing but madness
I'm confused to the point where crying isn't necessary
The pain in the pit of my stomach has become my true joy
To describe the bliss of this feeling I cannot begin to concur...
So I lie down in my quiet bed
And slip into the night..

Dark Oblivion:

Relentless
I feel feeble and weary
Invaginate to darkness,
Walk forward with me
Stabalize your stability
Afflict your true wonder
Solemnly trying to feed your desire
And this world....
It's interminable.... there is no end
Mirage of colors run together
Stopping at a point of my demand
Slowly..... turning into oblivion

[Cloud Strife]

"Searching for light"

I find myself with constant regret,
So many things I cannot forget.
For all those things, I should atone,
But how can I? They can't condone

My behavior, so arrogant!
I often wonder where I went
Wrong, so many places,
Strong, so many faces.

Memories, future thought,
Easy sin, all for naught,
Trying to escape from this hole,
Trying to escape takes its toll...

Danger imminent? Always is...
Danger's mine, though, never his.
I need a light, stumbling blindly,
I hope to God somebody finds me...

And then I see it, that blessed light,
Alone no longer, renew the fight.
A helping hand stretched out to me,
Brighter future, now I see.

[SuzuranLily]

"Shadow"

Walking along, there are two choices
Light, the path of the angels
Dark, the path of the demons
The one for me to take is neither
It is the path of the shadows

Shadows by their nature
Are in need of both to exist
Light and dark, for you must have
Dark to survive
Light to realize

And I am one of those shadows
I walk not the path of fools
I walk not the path of heros
I am one and the same
For I chose neither, I am none

And I will remain nothing
Empty that I am, it is better
Than to be filled with pain
Though I would give up joy
It is a trade that I made willingly

I don't need anyone to be with me
You are not welcome at my door
I shall turn you away, keep you distant
I will not let myself be scarred by you.
Not anymore...

For one such as I, living that I do
Life has its ups and downs
And knowing myself as I am
I do get down from time to time

Everything must need sleep
Some rest, a vacation
It seems like I lost all of my
Lifes lessons that I preach

The emotions I call "Black"
Try I not to let myself dwell
It doesn't help, it never does
I know this only to well

And now that I realize
That others lives are
Much worse, by so much
I am lucky, and I should be happy

And knowing this, realizing the truth
I pick myself off of the ground
I dust myself off and look ahead
These feelings have no place here

And "black" emotions depart for the unknown
And I know, once again
Those lessons that were forgotten
I smile and I move forward

For all the mistakes I have made
My life is not bad at all
I will not let myself be put up for trade
To get in return an uneeded luxury.
