5 minute poetry

[Cloud Strife]

Among the stars so far away
The souls of many love to say
Somewhere out beyond the sun
He's hiding from the only one...
The one to love, the one to care,
The one to seek, The one who dares
To bring along the brightest star
Attract the awe from oh so far
And when the stars are brought to bear
Upon the earth to brightly share
The knowledge of the people's past
That used the stars to truly cast
The brightest light for years to come,
Brighter than the brightest sun,
And if the light should come again,
Then we will see the bravest men
Rise again from eras past
Protect us all 'til the last
And final victory is won
And no more will the stars all shun
For man has proved their greatest worth
These little apes from Planet Earth.

[RaiRai]

Toss another log upon the raging fire
watch the smoke spiral, and the flames grow oh so higher
as the heat warms my skin, from my head to my toes
as I watch out the window at the sky, as it snows
a display of white, a dance from which I hide
with a blanket 'round my shoulders, cozy warm inside
darkness all around, yet for the glaring fire light
and a single dying candle upon this winters night
yet I am not alone, nay not I, in this empty room
for I am still waiting, and I know prayers will be answered soon
for once the dawn awakes and the snow lay pure and still
I'll journey to meet him, if it is his will
in a horse drawn carriage, wrapped up with scarf and muff
cradling his present in hopes it is enough
to bring him back to me, on that winters day
and once again we'll smile, within the sunlight gay
as the snow slowly melts, glistening at our feet
as we kiss under the burning lamp on that cobbled street
but for now I can but dream, upon the living room floor
that tomorrow will not end, or I will not ask for more
as it is my one wish, my one Christmas gift I ask
can you do for me this? This one little task?
To bring my love to me, to cherish once and forever,
because I'm incomplete, unless we are together.

[BlackMageGirl!]

So what of this game?
Of turning fellows
The black to white
And white to black
For waterfalls and
Winter thralls
A sight not to be seem
And still not to lack

What tiring sighs
Reavealed the lies
That left and crept
Along the floor?
So was known
To again atone
Something kept in
Fluid silence, nevermore

What held was broke
Too silent that spoke
Seas the floundered
Towards eternity?
For last was felt
Ice that melt
And the last thing known..
Could be more than uncertainty?

[Funka Genocide]

when done
breathes a heavy draught
the air so clean it cuts
a touch on tongues benign

and her mouth
has the taste of chocolate
to hell again
I suppose

distance saving grace from time
and searching from these words of mine
are questions I will never ask
of a person who...

damned I am
so sadly cursed
to wander on
from greenest pastures

a fool before
and afterwards
not repayed
the fines acrue

on this soul
until the debt
consumes it all
to hell again

I suppose

[RaiRai]

Limelight

I don't fit the face
my image can't trace
as the catwalk, divine
will never be mine
as I look down at layers
and avoid the girl's stares
as I walk briskly on
pretending nothing is wrong

I don't fit the image
not with this body I'm stuck with
never pretty or elegant
more like something that's hellsent
as they won't take my looks
and put them in picture books
they'd rather tear out the pages
in their diva queen rages

I don't fit with the scene
I'm too round, not lean
with a bust meant for display
but one that won't make their men stray
as I'm just another plain Jane
they don't have to worry about my name
I'll fade into the background
with little to no sound

I don't fit in with this life
I'm meant for distress and long strife
as I struggle to realise
that the mirror tells no lies
I'm not slender nor gorgeous
I'm just a female best left
somewhere that's not in sight
because I can't steal their limelight.

[Cloud Strife]

Angel, my Angel, above all the clouds,
Angel, my Angel, who gathers the crowds,
Your voice is so soothing, your eyes, they caress,
Your hair twirls around you, as I come to rest,

Angel, my Angel, your wings let you soar,
Angel, my Angel, you fly more and more,
Your reach is unending, your gaze so complete,
Your smile unbeatable, yet oh so petite.

Angel, my Angel, your voice rings so clear,
Angel, my Angel, I'm safe when you're near,
Fears are abated, and worries disappear,
For you, my love Angel, are the one I hold dear.

[Funka Genocide]

the confessions that you bring
that all those sordid things
were only fantasy
the rain no one can see

your stance a sullen view
and still I turn to you
a gifted parody
of what you saw in me

your troubles merely Fall
I swore to know them all
and turned away at last
the menace of a past

that strikes at clumsy hands
forever shall it stand
as skill is rarer than
passion from a man

who has no sense of him
self bends to your whim
though gods and greater lies
vanish from the guise

they played upon your heart
that tragic, violent start
they counted on to break
no, you they won't unmake

not the villain's wrath
the fury no hell hath
that pyre fed on pain
that you feed again

and on the blackened step
where death so vainly crept
you passed the saga on
your faultless paragon

has an empty fist
though in the parts you missed
and aweful promises
were broken homages

to a girl that never was
that soul won't grow because
it never snowed within her
oh jealous of the Winter

[RaiRai]

Another Brick on my Wall

Forget the mortar, just stack bricks high
so that I, far beneath them, lie
within the dust and within the dark
no light to grace this merry lark
for there are no smiles, not even tears
as I build the bricks from all my years
and make the mound so that none can see
this bitter wretch I've come to be
I'll be nothing but a pillar, standing tall
to be broken down when they cause me to fall
but keep on building up my mound
for when more pain returns, I'll be nowhere to be found
because I'll be hiding within this tomb
awaiting my impending doom
just another brick on my ever growing wall
wishing it would end, longing for it all.

[Funka Genocide]

Somewhere, it's crowded cold and beautiful.
where the snow so gently breaks
on heartless winds and lovely eyes
between a kiss and time

out there, where songs unsung belong
a feast resides for hungry minds
partake of me, oh slighted child
and know the ease of love

and melt the frost upon this face
the silent scowl I wear for them
it's dented, cracked and failing fast
before your mighty gaze

the fearful tread with halting steps
on paths of burnished gold
that luster lost for better things
this gleaming romance glides

oh dance with me, you startled thing
beneath this halo's light
and angel wings might fly away
but heaven rests with you

barred and trapped in earthly chains
my spirit won't relent
invincible, infallible
and you are God to me

now lay your head upon the stone
of a shore unkown
and sleep so sound within the arms
of dreams so alien

dreaming of another time
when all I had was mine
waiting for these weary lines
to grab your soul and shake
