5 minute poetry

[Nikose Tyris]

‘Bring her back to me,’ he whispered softly.
‘bring back the girl I love.’
‘the earth beneath me cries from cold,
the shadows come in droves.’

I follow the path along the ground,
Away from where I used to stand;
I risked it all to follow away
From my home, from my land.

I see her in the distance, warning me away
I see the tears of sadness.
I sense the deeper pain within,
And I cannot abide the silence.

I run to her, my feet barely touching
The ground; my love, it knows no bounds;
I cannot let this slip through my grasp;
I cannot let this chance collapse!

‘I will not lose you!’ I cry to the wind.
I pray fervently, deeply, that she catches
My words; for I fell then, into the wounded earth.

I lie lost in the darkness,
I cannot find the surface,
I cannot escape to find my love.
I am trapped in this silence, in this darkness,
in this hell.

I see her face above me,
Looking on me with concern.
’Let down a rope!’ I cry to her,
And can only pray I have been heard.

A droplet of glass
A small beacon
One of the last
It sits in my palm
And I wonder....

What strange world
Lies within your borders?
Two kinds, they merle
A chaotic sort of order

Opaque and twisted
On the inside
With seas all misted
A smooth crystal slide...

All swirls and twirls
Unimaginable deep
A crystallized pearl
In my hand, it sleeps

For why does a marble hide it's secrets?

Another poem:

Ten years past
I walked in that display
A table full of marbles
The candy for my eye that day
Ten years now
I walk there again.

The table is smaller
The splendor not lost
And I now taller
So too is the cost

Pick one or pick two
A purple drop,
Or a crystal stop
This one reminded me of you

A childish clinging, perhaps
Or a simple time relapse
Thirty cents of wasted dime
For two memories forever mine

And sometimes even a little foolishness is needed...

Edit:

What happened to the Euphoria of yesterday?
Why am I bound to the earth
By chains I cannot see?

What happens when you run out of words?
To express what you've felt?
My palace of ice sculptures
It's warm, starts to melt...

What happens when silence is all you hear?
Will my earth shatter again?
Drill to the truth of things
And let my water flow begin..
Cold and warm, what does it bring?

What happens when my eyes are dry?
Will my tears ever come back?
My closed eyes, the truth they hold
Comes under your every attack...
Worn and old, am I breaking the mold?
My silence will come, it seems...

I know what happens when I hide
And wait for better times
But did I speak the truth today..
..or was it a faithful lie?

It does nothing for this heart of mine....

Oath of Love

They stretch out before me.
No two roads.
No convergence in a yellow wood.
They are gossamer strands.
Invisible to my eye.
But I know they are there.
I feel them.
Sense them.
Know them.
Though what path I should follow
remains, as ever
a mystery to me.
What path will
- Oh tell me, for fuck's sake!
I need to know! -
What path will lead me to you?
What path shall we walk together
on our way to a
Future Perfect?
Together.
For now,
without any answers,
I walk on.
This path may not lead to you,
that's true.
But, if I have to,
with these hands I will bend the fate
of these gossamer strands.
I will find my way to you.

I love you.

No path I walk will not lead us together.

A try at happiness right here.

Try Me:

I'm looking into the dark
They stand around and see my outer frown
Though my inner smile is stark
I feel happy but do not put it down

So try me
I may just let you get away
Yeah try me
Its impossible to ruin my high this day

The surrounding may say I'm sad
My appearance may say I'm depressed
But in truth I'm unatturaly glad
Yeah to day I feel truly blessed

So try me
I may just let you get away
Yeah try me
Its impossible to ruin my high this day

Though tomarrow I may just lose it
Its good to see it in smiles
And hell yes I plan to abuse it
Cause I'm sure it will last a short while

So try me
I may just let you get away
Yeah try me
Its impossible to ruin my high this day
Just try me
And you can hold a piece of this golden ray

[Nikose Tyris]

Why does it feel like night today?
Why is my heart beating this way?
Why isn't my mind responding?
Why are the words getting all mixed up?
Why is the peace inside not there?
Why are my lungs not drawing air?
Why are my eyes tearing up this way?

I don't understand... this is so new to me....
am I dying? or am I in love?
(Danath: My money's on dying.)
(Nikose: SHUT UP!)

[Dante]

Lost as in a dream
I seek the shadow
Of one who has
Swirled away...
Abandoning friends,
Abandoning humanity.
What awaits us all
Is the path to emptiness.
Knowing my heart
The flowers weep,
And the wild birds cry.

[Cloud Strife]

There's a light up ahead...
"But it's so cold... can't I just rest? I'm so tired..."
If you rest now, we'll never make it! We must press on...
"O-Okay. I'll keep going. I'll try to make it there."
Don't worry, hun. I'll make sure you do.

...

As we journey down this road called life,
There's joy, there is truth, and then there's strife,
But we keep pressin' on, through the bitter cold,
So we may one day see, our own bit of gold.

This gold is not real, it exists in your mind,
So if you search real hard, well, then you will find
That the treasures we keep, tell a golden tale,
And that they keep us safe, from the strongest gale!

A wind is blowing, it threatens us all,
But if we ride it out, we will not fall.
So, brother sister, all of my friends,
Share all your treasures, they are a godsend.

This road is full of peril, and we can lose our way,
But if you take my hand, we will never go astray!
For the world out there, may be harsh at times,
But with each of us here, we'll be led by the signs.

A wind is blowing, and it threatens us all,
But if we ride it out then we will not fall!
So, brother sister, and all of my friends,
We'll share our treasures, for they're a godsend.

We watch the setting sun, the signal that we know,
That tells us to prepare, for the wintry snow.
But with you by my side, there is nothing to fear,
For the cold and the dark will never touch us here.

A wind is blowing, and it threatens us all,
But it we ride it out then we will not fall!
So, my darling, as you and I can see,
Our treasure's in our hearts, for eternity.

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

It's the way I wish
I could hold you in my arms tonight.
It's the way I feel you here with me
When there is only the sound of your voice.
It's the future that I craft
Your presence at my side.
It's the words that I never said.
Believe me as I say them now.
It's the way I take your breath away.
Do you wonder now, what to say?
It's the future you craft
My presence at your side.
It's what dreams may come
And your place in mine.
It's the way you hold your pillow
wishing it was I.
It's the ways I told you I love you.
I'm sorry I made you cry.
It's the words that still fail me
Though I know you can hear me now.
It's the way that my poems seem
Dwarfed by your wonderful words.
It's the radiance of your soul
That brightens my day.
It's your smile.
It's your laugh.
It's all the things I would share with you.

And if these words have touched you,
It's the way you say you love me
That makes me love you too.

With This I Beg

She is my Sunshine
My only Sunshine
She makes me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, sir
How much I love her

Please don't take my Sunshine away.

Please don't. Don't take my Sunshine away.

[BlackMageGirl!]

It's one of those days
You choose wrong,
It's so long
And you stumble on your way

I didn't want to wake up
I didn't want to get up
I don't want to give up
But I have to run again...

Why the hell is it so dark?
Yes, I have grown
Yes, I have shown
But these bullets still hit the mark

I'm torn, but do not bleed
I'm worn, but do not seed
I'm sworn, but will I need..?
I'm the only one who'll pray for me

I'm not going to do this
I defied all that I made
Given my light in trade
I'll walk out of my abyss

You waited for me
You saved for me
Will you trade for me...?
I will be your undoing...

Conquest Prophecy (from my story Hell's Excursions):

He is the demon of fire
Lacking burns but causing pain
He will give you your desire
And sweep across the lands like flame

He calls himself Hell
As the humans land to suffer
Though only he can tell
If your pain shall be rougher

So follow him my sons
I will alert you when it's time
His reign shall soon be run
From earth to sky shall it climb
