5 minute poetry

[Hatake Kakashi]

Be gentle... this is my first time.


Beyond measure, beyond time or space
I have dreamed of the one who waits for me
Slowly her touch embraces me
Her gossamer lips whispering words I cannot understand
Yet my whole life, I've understood their truths
Alas, she only touches me as I dream

I wake and long for the comfort
Of feeling her body beside my own.
Alone, my heart begins to break, as the warmth
That was so real a moment ago fades into nothing
And my whole life, I've endured this pain
Of knowing her absence from me

How long must I endure?
My guess is that not even the fates can know.
Is the one I have sought even real,
Or merely my mind soothing my heart
As I lay down to dream again?

Would that I know love as I dream
A love that exists for me, only there
It cannot last, I know too well
For such luxury is not meant for me
Still, I cling to her, lost in her embrace
Beyond compare, the love of my dreams

[slightly aboveaverage man]

The swirling mass of change and fear,
Threatening all that I hold dear.
The routine it is my life, my word,
To exit it is to destroy my world,
So instead of leaving through that gate,
I look to the mirror, my guardian of hate.

[Ink_Blot]

When the air is all gone,
when the light dissapears,
the darkness of space
surrounds us.
Yet light is here.
Darkness is not a thing,
only a word,
to symbolize an
absence of light.
There is light, so there is no darkness.
And yet, it is still dark,

In the places between the stars.

[Sithdarth]

Somewhere deep inside me,
hidden from the light of reason,
it sits and waits to be,
the cause for my soul's treason.
Slowly it eats through me.
The very essence of what I am.
Afraid I attempt to flee.
Is my whole life just a sham?
Someday you shall see,
What this shadow would make of me.

[Pixie]

Listen, listen, do you hear the rain?
Listen, listen, do you hear the pain?
Listen, listen, the drops of rain.
Listen, listen, the moans of pain.
Sounds all around you.
Listen, listen. Be quiet. Listen.

Listen, listen, you might learn something.
Listen, listen, pay attention.
Listen, listen, the clap.
Listen, listen, the scream.
Sounds all around you.
Listen, listen. Be quiet. Listen.

Listen, listen, stand alone in the dark.
Listen, listen, open your eyes and ears.
Listen, listen, the pleasure.
Listen, listen, the pain.
Sounds all around you.
Listen, listen. Be quiet. Listen.

[RaiRai]

I won't be home. (V.1)

I won't be home
don't wait up for me
I'll walk the streets
let you forget me
There ain't nothing
that will take the hurt away
just another 'I'm sorry'
Yet another pity play
You're better off
without me by your side
you lose your pain
and regain your pride
they'll all smile
the hero you are will shine
and they'll forget
everything of mine
I don't mind
it's the way it was meant to be
I'd give it up
if it meant you lived happily
So don't wait up
I won't be home tonight
I'm giving up
just to make things be alright.

Yay, emo poetry. Woo.

[Funka Genocide]

salt
and tears of a lifetime
shed from drowning eyes
her dramatic sighs
were real to me
though thats the game
to break me down as sport

nepenthe
my pretty little wastebasket
all my garbage goes to you
and soon I'll take you out
for dinner and a movie
at least you'll say you knew me
when the tears begin again

muted
are the colors, are the noises
as my soul folds within
a packet sealed with enmity
towards those who never
and I, who shall ever
force a way to you

used
is what I am, and meant to be
for surely such an idiot
deserves what he receives
napkin for emotion
just soiled and thrown away
I am your souls repugnance

crumpled and tossed out

..............................................

they never
love me
the way I want them to
they always
have their reasons
that I'm not privy to

they want
my guilt
my apology
my reverance
my ignorance

they won't have it
as beautiful as they are
I am alone
and shall be
until the truth
comes clothed
as a woman

...............................

deeper than is known
a hurt felt by one
abandoned after intercourse
left and lost to thought

poured are hearts
to open minds
feel the pain
of others

don't
never open
remain aloof
and be happy

she was *, another too
who let me in the door
but then, oh then
a violent shove
left me wanting more
but nothing else
could sway her heart
so blackened by this life
I wish I could
have read her mind
and erased all
that reminds
of sorrow, pain and misery
oh why did she come to me?
a foolish boy in sheepish guise
with nothing left to compromise
a love she wouldn't ever see
a fool and nothing more
I am your spoken whore
a fool and nothing more

[RickZarber]

I
never saw the sun can't remember days without the load i bear
I still can't believe
And I'll never be free...

I
don't know why it takes so long to find the truth again
I still can't believe
And I want to be free

I
find myself in waking dreams that seem to numb the pain
I still can't believe
My spirit's not free

My
heaven's far away and all my paths lead me astray
I still can't believe
Sure someday I'll be free

Tho
guess for now i'll carry on struggle through another day
I just can't believe
Oh, what I'd give to be free...

[Funka Genocide]

find your passion
never in our days
will only snow be found
on grounds without a flame
a fire of our dreams
which burn
as they must
as all life is but ash
to an infinite display
a violent ever changing main
on beasts so untamed
and I
for lack, or wont of word
have never found my cause
but to live in honesty
and passion all my life

[RaiRai]

Shape Me.

Mould me
Bend me
Push the boundaries out
I know who I am
but it's not who you need
Don't say, Don't do, Don't be
I won't be
You don't need to worry about me
I'll conform to your wishes
Cater to your whim
End at the beginning
if you so desire
I'll keep running no matter how tired
Bind me
Keep me
You won't ever complete me
because you can't understand
and you refuse to listen
please don't, please don't
I haven't
I won't
Not ever again
For I know my place
You don't realise the pressure
You're sorry for pain
Yet you don't give in
Whip me
again
I dislike the silence
I can't stand the pain
but here we are
I'm nothing in the end
Shape me
my friend
