5 minute poetry

[BlackMageGirl!]

Kinda rambly, kinda long. Took like a minute to write.


Wandering, I was gone
I'm still lost but...
I'm closer to where
I need to be

I ran away from who I was
I was afraid of who I might be
But to fully live life...

I must...be...
And just...believe...
and when I find me...
I can be free...

The truth lies within
Behind all the covered skin
Look in the mirror, search your eyes
and take the root of the fear that lies

I'm not perfect, but
And what reflects is, yet
I can learn to find
The strength underneath

You are who you are
And now we've come so far
I too am lost, with you
But I'm no longer running...

Not all agree with how I am
And not all will find the way
But it's enough that I believe in me
I'm real, and I'm here to stay...

I will believe....
And I will be...
I have the strength
I'm finally free...

Take my hand, breathe again
We're still lost, but
Our destination is not so far
We just haven't been moving
In the right direction....

Your light is in your dark
Instead of moving back, just start
Look deep inside, it's okay
You can learn to love yourself today...

[RaiRai]

Too much, too long
your 'feelings', so strong
or at least you believe
when you fall to your knees
and claim I'm 'the one'
(buck up now, son)
I'm sick of these games
time and time again
can't you just let go
of these feelings you 'know'?
Because when all is done
the innocent has won
and I'm pure as the snow
(that you should know)
so quit while ahead
best left unsaid
all these feelings you claim
you'll just lose again.

[RaiRai]

And because everyone else is boring, a poem I found in my journal. =3 Written at the beginning of the month.

Spin,
web
break through gentle wind
kisses, sunbeams
just tirelessly
spinning
though dense
lattice leaves
shield not what lies beneath
my heartache
still breathes
like gentles winds
which cut my web
cause me to spin
again.

Andrew was a farmer who worked the fields all day,
His son who's name was Peter, would always say,
"Why couldn't we be rich men, living in a castle?"
His father always told him, "Go and feed the cattle."

This should be longer, but my inspiration brought me on a long and windy road which made no sense, so here's the first verse ... Feel free to add a verse if you like!

[BlackMageGirl!]

And like stones in the river
I watched the world pass me by
Now stars shine in the water
I don't have to reach so high...

In my hand I hold the diamonds
Future thoughts and coming joys
Where are you now? Can you find the way?
They prick my skin and bring me life

For I have left, too many reasons
(I come and go, my changing seasons)
The second you sleep, cherish the day
For against all odds I will not fade away

In my eyes I found the answer
The way to walk is not a perfect path
Can you come back now? Will you find me?
Follow through the swaying reeds..

I've made my castle in the sky
And in my seas there are stars
It feels good to not be silenced
And I'm better off not alone.

(Don't ask why, just follow where I go...)

[Cloud Strife]

I will note: The following poem has nothing to do with BMG's poem above.


Slip away, slip away,
Following but led astray,
Dreaming up while hand in hand,
Of better times, in our own plan,

But dreaming has a price itself,
Putting others on the shelf
and making us oblivious
to others, our own frivilous

Thoughts and ideas blocking,
Blanking, nightmares stalking,
Thanking, creeping, crawling,
And shines, enthralling,

Delving deeper, farther, faster,
Prices steeper, soon outcast her...


In reverie
Majority

Stupidity
Offendingly
Rescinding thee,
Regrettingly,
Your sanity.

I wrote this song a week or so ago. This is what insomnia coupled with a high fever can produce.

Here
In floating space
I drift alone
And
to my surprise
I’m thinking of you

This
Is fever dream
I burn in chills
And
you might surmise
Things are unclear

I
don’t know
What to feel, how to feel, what’s the deal?

Where
do I go
from Here?
This
is a new
kind of fear

What’s the deal?

[guitar riff goes here]

Hey now, I’m alright, now
I just might, now, see this through
Wish I knew
About you
What’s the deal?

[Lycanthrope]

the River runs dry
the tears that fed it once have
long since stopped flowing

Poem un journal 1/29/'05

I look at you
while you eat
and dream.
You say
there is someone else
better for me than you.
I dream
of a love, a passion
that transcends
the physical.
To lay with you
in my arms
and me in yours.
The heat and
the touch, passing
between us both.
As one,
If for a moment,
a moment shared
in eternity.
I feel no pain
you don't know.
Your joy
lifts me up.

There you sit
fork in mouth,
pain in eyes.
Wishing the best
for me,
and I of course
for you.
We are two different,
too different.
In my heart I know,
and yet
still I dream.
Aren't dreams enough?
Weren't our lives,
Freedoms,
built on dreams?

You live on,
leave off
to some distant land,
happy,
and I am glad,
for you.
The yearning though
is still there for all eyes
to see.

I want,
need
the intimacy
of that naked heat,
the heat beyond
the sweat and thrusts
of lust.
The heat of knowing
and loving
arms around me,
and never letting go.

[Staizer]

Two more then I am done for now.

5/19/'03
Time rips assunder
Earth falls apart
Fires die down
Rivers run out
Sky disappears
Forests tumble.
Man is left alone,
in nothing.

Two sons, both afflicted
Live identical lives:
Cry, hurt, love.
both injured,
and both healed.
and both were worth healing.
But which will be better off?
The one who saw only the pain?
Or the one who saw the Joy
both before and after?
