5 minute poetry

[icythaco]

Double-Posting is against the law, as clearly stated in the Rules section of this forum

Or, in an attempt to keep up the poetic atmosphere:

I hate to be a pain in the booty,
But somehow I feel it's my duty,
To inform all ye that
Double-Posting is bad,
Else the mods'll be on you like cooties

[TheSpacePope]

Eyes open
bad feeling shivering through the air
depression like a liquid snake,
Flowing over the cracks,
seeping into my soul.
A cry of anguish fills the air,
like the war cry from a forgotten people.
alone
Can't eat,
can't sleep,
can't do anything
just getting out of bed is a chore.
as I look through the window on a sunny day
cracks of frost appear on the pane
snow falls from my eyes
My life is an endless series of dissapointments,
I can't hold on
As I fall off the cliff and tumble through the air,
hitting every rock
on
the
way
down.
Bruised and broken,
I try to gather the shattered pieces of myself, only to find that the picture is not complete
no more smiling face
no more freckles that i love
no more blue eyes
the tears run black with guilt
It's all my fault
the razor burns my flesh as I try to bleed you out
but you are fastened to my soul
And if I tear you asunder
What is left of me?
An empty shell,
no direction
no hope
Just tears
Burning my face as they slide through my heart
The shattered pieces never do seem to come together after.
Am I doomed to a life of lonliness
Desperation grips my heart, what can I do?
I want this to be right again.
I want her to be happy
And I want to be happy too.
So goodbye love
goodbye life
je t'aime TELLEMENT QUE
je MEURE POUR ÊTRE AVEC VOUS.
j'espère NOUS NE SOMMES JAMAIS DISTANTS ET
je VEUX que VOUS SOYEZ MON ÉPOUSE

[Hatake Kakashi]

Kiss me while I bleed away
And hold me while my vision fades
To love you, is all I would pray
To do so, suffer all degrades

I held you when I was a child
While you were younger, slightly still
We grew, you laughing as I smiled
Your dulcet tones, my deepest thrill

I dream now, how I touched your hand
How you returned my faint caress
As we slept so close, there on the sand
And you were mine, by strangest bless

And for you I would die, my love
Though until now, you would not know
Your tears like rain from sky above
Upon my face, the ground below

My sole regret, that I not share
While comfort give from I, you to
My last breath uttered, I am not there
Rest now take me, soul not from you

[PyrosNine]

I can't sit down for this one you all make me sick
I bet I think you think you know what makes me tick
You think yourselves oh so smart in ignorance
You do things that make no f**king sense
whatever you want to do you do
No matter whats in your way you'll see it through.
But this time I'm standing still
I'll be Impermeable I will
I won't bend I won't break
I won't let you take
Advantage.

I won't let you worm your damn lies into me,
for once I'm following the higher path I see,
You can plead and you can whine
I won't submit in a long time.
If you push me too far I'll push back
I'll give your dumb face a smack
Cause this time I'm standing still
I'll be vengeant I will
Your skull I will break
We'll see who has the
Advantage.

[RaiRai]

I feel quite out of (bounds)
A silent peace that can't be found
within the ache, without the pain
just want to live and feel again
No hurt to bring me down to the ground
no soft lullaby, I want now sound
I want to take the morning train
rather than walk the miles in the rain
To be safe in bed, not making the rounds
liking my molehills, not building more mounds
Just to let go for one moment, pure and plain
with nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

It was more than just a sandwich.
It was a lifelong friend, sharing eternal memories.
It was a passionate lover, sharing new experiences in untold ways.
It was a new neighbor, waving hello for the first time.
It was a powerful warlord, conquering new lands and meeting new people.
It was a meek insect, tinier than the eye could see, but could see a worlds perspective.
It was a planet, circling a distant sun and find new ways for it's creatures to evolve.
It was more than just a sandwich.























It was my lunch.

My "Yes, that's me" poem.

Yes, that’s me
Look and you’ll see:
My hair wild and unkempt,
My eyes wide and alert,
My arms hang limply at my side while
My hands are clutching at the air,
My heart a gallery of conflicting emotion, forming a soul.

I’m searching for an answer,
I never doubt the facts,
My friends blossom in new places.
I live for the future,
I hope for the present,
I dream of the past.
It’s all clear as can be.
That’s positively, absolutely me.

I was compeled to put this song on the forums. Probably the only people who can harass me about this is SAAM or Jadarendir.

A Man Has Needs

Baby, I wanna tell,
All my hopes and dreams and fears,
But I'm watching television, could you get me, another beer?
There's wrestling and pro-football on, I hope you, understand.
I must watch them all, for I am a man.

And a man, has needs, and a man has desires.
Eternal fires, that burn, burn, burn.
And a man, he bleeds,
and a man, he perspires.
Till the stains, show on his shirt.

I missed our anniversary. The birth of our son.
It must be on my control, my team was on a play off run!
Oh baby, baby, baby. You mean everything to me.
But could you move your butt? Your blocking the TV!

Cause a man, has needs, and a man has desires.
Eternal fires, that burn, burn, burn.
And a man, he bleeds, and a man, he does tire.
Get sleepy, and naps on the couch.

Oh baby, oh honey, oh darlin', oh puddin'.
What are you doing with that suitcase?
Leavin' me, what do you mean we don't communicate?
We're talkin' all the time, were talkin' about.. OH! Monster trucks.
And that little volkswagon doesn't stand a chance against de Cow Crusher.
COME ON COW CRUSHER! CRUSH THAT LITTLE VOLKS.... you're gone. I hope she left me one of them puddin' pops.
They're tasty.

For a man! Has needs! And a man has desires!
Eternal fires that BURN! BURN! BURN!
And a man, he bleeds. And he shops at Canadian Tire!
And he always, keeps his coupons.

A man! Has needs! And a man has desires!
Eternal fires that Burn!
BURN!
BURN!
And a man, he bleeds.
And a man, he expires.
And he cried, when Wayne Gretzy retired.

Meeheeheeeeee! Excellent. I wrote this one time when I wasn't having such a great day... it's actually 5 poems that only make sense together.

To His Friends

Look at him now
Calm as I've ever seen him
He seems almost arrogant
But I know he's not, really
Maybe I'll talk with him at lunch

To His Enemies

Look at him now
He really makes me angry
The way he's so arrogant
Thinks he's better than me
I'm glad I've never met him

To His Parents

Look at him now
He seems so troubled
I hope things are okay
I know he's grown up now
But he's still my little boy

To Her

Look at him now
At peace with his feelings
He's always so quiet
Never tells me anything
I hope he's not cheating

To Him

Look at me now
I never thought I'd end up like this
Tired, depressed, hated
And things are only getting worse
Maybe I won't wake up tomorrow
I hope I don't wake up tomorrow...

I took this off a site I used to post stuff on, got about 80 something on there, here is one of them, its a longish one. Its had mixed reviews.

Burning Rose

Nature sites unchanged from age
The native child comes into his own
Tearing from the savage earth that lays
A new home of glories birth

Let it burn men let it burn
Watch the flames tear and roar
Red rose blossoming withering death
Onward marching Onward crying
Do not look back at what was once
Let it burn

Native child a savage beast
His home fallen to civilized domain
The savage be tamed
Savage shown true control
Mercy of a Christian people shed

Let it burn men let it burn
Watch the flames tear and roar
Red rose blossoming withering death
Onward marching Onward crying
Do not look back at what was once
Let it burn

The colonies child questions his father
Making shown his distrust
Cruelly treated by the father
Sheds his grasp for the glories anew

Let it burn men let it burn
Watch the flames tear and roar
Red rose blossoming withering death
Onward marching Onward crying
Do not look back at what was once
Let it burn

Tear the earth
Spread your girth
Make your glory stand
Show how you tamed the earth
You are not the savage people
Look at what your glories have made

Let it burn men let it burn
Watch the flames tear and roar
Red rose blossoming withering death
Onward marching Onward crying
Do not look back at what was once
Let it burn

Force the savage farther away
Spread your will throughout the land
Take their home for your own
For we are not the savage people

Let it burn men let it burn
Watch the flames tear and roar
Red rose blossoming withering death
Onward marching Onward crying
Do not look back at what was once
Let it burn

Then a war we have started
Over the cause unknown
Let the men march and fight
For we are not the savage people
Are we

Let it burn men let it burn
Watch the flames tear and roar
Red rose blossoming withering death
Onward marching Onward crying
Do not look back at what was once
Let it burn


The men have died, the city's flame
Women cry for their men the same
Son look to see no fathers
Fathers bury their son
Destroy all in a plain so wide
We are not the savage people

Let it burn men let it burn
Watch the flames tear and roar
Red rose blossoming withering death
Onward marching Onward crying
Do not look back at what was once
Let it burn

We have killed them all
Destroy their earth
Destroyed our earth
They were our neighbors, our friends and brothers
Now they lie in death
Who are the Christian people

Let it burn men let it burn
Watch the flames tear and roar
Red rose blossoming withering death
Onward marching Onward crying
Do not look back at what was once
Let it burn

The native child looks at the flame
See the way we are
Everything must be destroyed in the end
For we are the savage people
And we lead savage lives

Let it burn men let it burn
Watch the flames tear and roar
Red rose blossoming withering death
Onward marching Onward crying
Do not look back at what was once
Let it burn

For this I say
In greatest truth

Let it burn men let it burn
Watch the flames tear and roar
Red rose blossoming withering death
Onward marching Onward crying
Do not look back at what was once
Let it burn

Always let it burn
