5 minute poetry - Page 3

MP37a · 04-24-2004, 09:51 AM

It's morning time now and no matter how hard I try
I can never sleep in anymore and I don't know why
I look with a daze all around and wonder
What can eat to satisfy my insatiable hunger
Why there's only one food that I want the most
That's the delightful product I call cinnamon toast
Nothing can be compared to that sweet aroma
It's enough to wake a person in a coma
That sweet buttery goodness, that cinnamon taste
I must eat it all until there's no bread left none will go to waste
Still a little tired still and a little hard of hearing the phone rings
I answered only to find it was a telemarketer calling to sell some things
How dare that person call me this early and cause me grief.
So I yelled I didn't want any of your choco flavored beef
So I went to the bathroom room and began to brush my teeth and comb my hair
Then I sang who's that pretty girl in that mirror there? what mirror where?
I proceeded out after taking a shower
That took somewhere around a quarter of an hour
Now it was time to choose
Should I wear the shirt that has a duck on it or the one that says carribean cruise?
Now I'm dressed and ready to go
Where was I going again? I just don't know.
I got in my car and started the engine
Maybe I'll just go for a little spin
I put the car from park and went into reverse
Damn I forgot to open the garage door first I cursed.
Maybe no one will notice the new doors shape
I'll fix it later thank god for duck tape
I went to the gym for a workout
Why must there never be a parking spot I shout!
Ok well I'll go for a 5 mile jog
Suck in the good ol' morning smog
So I'm running along when you know what
Along comes this huge freakin mutt
I tried to walk around him slowly never taking my eyes off him like i was under a spell
He started to give chase and I ran like hell
Luckily for me I've delt with this before and climbed over this big white fence
Unluckily for me there was a woman sunbathing and she saw me and looked tense
She called her husband that there was a man in her yard
I said it wasn't what it looked like but decided to run again hard
Out through the gate and down the street.
Oh wow I'm gonna have some huge blisters on my feet
Now I've returned home to plan the rest of my day
Watch my friend tv for now to see how its been while I was away.

I actually think its time to go eat again.

I am soaring
with my grandest wings
atop the clouds and treetops
and many other things
i bask in the sun
so blissful and ignorant
Until the sun dies out

i am surrounded by the dark
the only light is a flame
That burns my gorgeous wings
I realize i am without sight
and can feel only air
as i plummet back down to earth
in a moment of despair

I land with a crack
with nothing at all to see
not even me
As my bones shatter and shake
and my mind begins to quake
I can only think of one sole thing
How can i be so frail?

i continue to trudge
without a light of hope
through the darkened trails
my soul finally dies
but my body resides
and all i hear are my cries

With nothing left
to gain or lose
and without really a care
i fall unto my back and stare
into the eternal blackness
my apparent new home

Suddenly a streak of light
breaks through my roof
and blinds my eyes
clearing what i once thought
to be my only fate
I finally stand
with new resolve
and see the sky again

i am without a home
no dark, but no eternal sun
i may never get where i once was
My wings are too singed to grow

So without further ado
along with new life in mind
and my faith restored
i begin to build my home.

How dost thou?

How dost thou feel?
Thine eyes are bloodshot with unseen tears
As thou dost kneel.

How dost thou go on?
Thine life is naught but hard and depressing;
I have seen thee lying in bed, waiting for dawn.

How dost thou cope?
Counless others in thine same position have given up,
Went to swing from the rope.

How dost thou?
Thou dost gather thyself up and remember that the past is gone,
That there is only the here and now.

Distant
the mind sees only what it wants to see
this aching feeling washes over me
as I sink and die inside from pain
this pain I lived a year ago
and now must suffer again
no longer a distant memory
just a continuing part of me
Save me from this ache inside?
That rips me apart day by day
just make the sickness go away
so I can live in peace

(Yeah, something did spurn this. I'm sick. Again. And feeling hellish.)

MP37a · 04-25-2004, 03:00 PM

Heaven

What happens when you die, asked a child?
That�s a good question I said with a smile.
Will I go to somewhere new?
I said this is what I think and I hope it�s true.
You�ll go to a place where angels dance,
Where time stands still at a moments glance.
It�s where sickness and sorrow meet their end,
Love enshrouds you like a gentle wind.
It�s where the eastern sky touches the west,
Where all differences are put to rest.
You�ll find joy here everyday,
Never more will you be lead astray.

Will I get to be an angel and fly so high?
You�ll have the most beautiful wings in the sky.
Will I be able to sing an angel chorus?
Others will come for miles just to hear one verse.
You needn�t worry about things such as this.
If I were you I would just make one wish.
That is to live your life to its fullest grace,
Then I�m sure it will redeem you your place

Osterbaum · 04-25-2004, 03:02 PM

I suck at this, but here it goes:

Dance with the dead in my dreams,
listen to their hollow screams,
The dead have taken my soul,
And I've lost all control...(OK...this wasnt mine...

it's a from Slayer song called Dead Skin Mask)

This is mine:

I Walk in the shadows,
I Dissappear to the shadows,
Finding all these places which are shallows...

Is that madnes?
Or is it just stupid?
I don't know that much,
But I do know,
That it's because of you...

I suck at poetry and riming...though I made this in just some minutes...and If I would have like a hour of time I think I could make something better...I will post another poet soon...

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what it's like
To be mistreated
To be defeated
behind blue eyes

and no one knows how to say that theyre sorry
and dont worry
i'm not telling lies

but my dreams
they arent as empty
as my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
my love is vengence
that's never free

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

not mine, but it does sum up how I feel sometimes.

MP37a · 04-25-2004, 03:29 PM

This one is actually a song I wrote for someone called My strength thought I'd share:

I had a dream, that lived in my heart
I had a dream, that would give me a start
But one day, it all came crashing down
And that day, there was no one left around.
I had no where to turn, no where to go
No one at all, until I meet you.
And�

Seeing you is believing, there is hope
To stop our grieving and
Please don�t say your leaving
Because I need�

Your strength to keep me going
Your mind to keep me knowing
Your love to keep showing me�
How to live on�

In a world of darkness
You�re my guiding light
Showing me what to do
And telling me what�s right
I was lost and so confused
When you came and rescued me.

So I�ll be there, whenever you�re in trouble
No need to worry, we�ll clean up the rubble
When life gets demanding
I�ll help keep you standing
We can fight it together
Face the harsh weather.

Oh why�
Please don�t cry
It�s not like I
Don�t understand
There is a plan
But when it gets dark and there�s no sun
Just remember a new day will come.
And�

Seeing you is believing, there is hope
To stop our grieving and
Please don�t say your leaving
Because I need�

Your strength to keep me going
Your mind to keep me knowing
Your love to keep showing me�
How to live on�

Oh it was unexpected
To see that we were connected
I no longer feel hallow
And you I will follow
All my trust is in you
So there�s nothing I wouldn�t do
It�s just how you remind me
Of how I should be
And�

Seeing you is believing, there is hope
To stop our grieving and
Please don�t say your leaving
Because I need�

Your strength to keep me going
Your mind to keep me knowing
Your love to keep showing me�
How to live on�

Your strength to keep me going
Your mind to keep me knowing
Your love to keep showing me�
How to live on�

Oh yeah, you�re my strength
It�s how I live on�

This is actually a song by Mudvayne, but it sums up my feelings pretty well.

When passion's lost and all the trust is gone,
Way too far, for way too long
Children crying, cast out and neglected,
Only in a world so cold, only in a world
This cold
Hold the hand of your best friend, look into their eyes
Then watch them drift away
Some might say, we've done the wrong things,
For way too long, for way too long

burning whispers, Remind me of the days,
I was left alone, in a world this cold
Guilty of the same things, provoked by
The cause,
I've left alone, in a world so cold
Fever inside the storm,
So I'm turning away.
Away from the name
Away from the stones
Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us
Keep your thorns
'Cause I'm running away,
Away from the games
Away from the space
The circumstances of a world so cold

Why does everyone feel like my enemy,
Don't want any part of depression or
Darkness, I've had enough
sick and tired, bring the sun, or I'm gone,
Or I'm gone

I'm backing out, I'm no pawn,
No mother-fucking slave to this,
Never lied
Never left
Never lived
Never loved
Never lost
Never hurt
Never worry about being me, or anyone else
Not a care, no concern, don't give a shit about
Anything

Backing out, giving up, no mother-fucking
Slave to this,
Never lied
Never left
Never lived
Never loved
Never lost
Never hurt
Never worry about being me, or anyone lese
Not a care, no concern, don't give a shit about
Anything,

I need to find a darkened corner,
A lightless corner,
Where it's safer and calmer,
