5 minute poetry

[Totsumanu]

I have a funny feeling in my pants
It's enough to make me want to do some rants

It's a nice feeling
Down in my being

To hope no one see's
The feeling I am getting with these

Oh dear I can't stand up now
I could stand up with a bow

But my problem would still be there
This is the last time I buy silk underware

[Funka Genocide]

time was for me
as a promise
never kept
a road on which
there are no signs
to gauge progress
only a backwards glance
saying, "you've gone too far...

...to turn around"

love was for me
as a gift
wrapped so well
I dare not open
to see what lay inside
it sits here now
reminding me
"I could be yours...

...for a price"

hate was for me
as a vice
I should never know
a tantalizing drug
that called when I was weak
but never held my hand
"I'm waiting for you...

...to fall"

fear was for me
as a friend
always there
when no one else
could be by my side
shivering with me
crying, "its so cold...

...but I am here"

sorrow was for me
as my lover
always in my bed
covered in tears
so beautiful to me
and no one else
whispering, "I love you...

...as nothing can"

life was for me
as an abstract
a thing to be observed
within my mind alone
no way of reaching out
to touch
"I will keep waiting...

... until you die"

I am (never) in the line of fire
The bullets have always grazed
My cheek
My leg
My arm
But never has hit the mark
Is it because this person
The one with the gun
(arms shaking, with fear?)
Pulled on purpose?
(Don't hurt her)
What do they want...
(Don't wound her)
Do they mean it?
(Don't break her)
Hurt me...?
(Please don't..)
Or am I,
Too innocent?
(So fragile..)
Too weak?
(So kind...)
Too..sweet..?
(Didn't mean it..)
How do they see me then?
(Does she just not...)
Do I just not...
(feel the pain?)
feel the pain?

Twosome:

Winter, covering fields in sheets of ice
Winter, gorgeous but doesn't feel nice
I watch as snowflakes form and fall
Sticking to the ground, covering all
The trees fall asleep for this quarter of the year
Awakening as soon as spring is near
Winter, cold and bittersweet
The time of year when everyone loves heat
Winter will soon leave but we'll remember
that it will be back next December.

And the other:

A room in the house with a lock on the door
Posters on the wall and shoes on the floor
A stolen sign on the desk and an SP on the bed
A cell phone charger on the rug, which is red
Tons of casettes piled on the dresser over there
A garbage can in the corner and a pillow on the chair
A television, a VCR, and an NES plugged in
A blanket on the bed with sheets that are satin
School supplies in the drawer with plants that are gloom
These are all the things that's in my room.

Time for another funny one
Which way should I have it done

Should I write about money
Or the taste of honey

Thing that go bump
Or things that I would like to hu...er

Moving on to the next idea
Maybe something about how I feel...a

To make a long poem short
Sit down and have a good laugh *snort*

Yes you can see I am running out of rhymes
So I think it's about times

For me to stop this shirade
And call for my maid

To clean up after my poetic mess
God I hope she is wearing that dress

The prevert in me is coming through
It is time to bid you all ado


Not my best. I will have something better next time. I'm sleepy.^^

Wandering road...to where do you lead?
And why am I compelled to follow?
A travelers heart, placed in the seed
These stories, images of tomorrow...

The leaves dance in the breeze
The grass rustles along
My heart is at ease
Winds that sing this song...

I would have run
Oh so very far on the road
And when I am done
My journey, it shall be told...

And that I see, eyes wide and bold
The whisper of sparkling streams
And the piercing mountain's cold
Life is a journey for all it seems....

Wandering adventurer,
With a travel worn pack
You who has traveled here
Across the world and back

Would I go with you,
The stars as my guide
Find the path that's true
Sail along times tide...

With my wild heart
And my moving feet
My fate that plays a part
My destiny I will meet.....

[Funka Genocide]

I wandered through life
as a child on wings
never knowing what
my statement should have been
I cherished every breath
I loved everything
my mind could perceive
and I tried to make a difference...

Oh child of light
do not hang your head
even death cannot defeat
your golden spirit
all the world has felt your touch
and ever after it remains
enthralled by the truth
you bled to bring it...

why then do I
feel so overburdened?
my very soul is heavy!
these legs which have walked
the breadth of many worlds
they tire beneath me
with my work yet undone!

oh, please my love
do not force yourself
to face more pain
Every nuance of strife
you take in vain
I have seen through your time
I weep at your feet
for I have no remedy,
save to take you away...

then let my heart beat!
no matter the cost!
I have sworn to this life
to never give myself away
I must not turn my face
from my elusive purpose,
oh merciful love, please let me...

feel a little longer


and so she wept a river to sail upon
and his vessel set adrift
knowing one day their times entwined
would be one again

this is for a comic miniseries I am developing, a bit of a story taking root methinks! I wonder who the characters talking are... hmmm...

For Ben


Strange it does seem to meet you at last
We who are from two different roads and walks
The times when thou are immaculate, untoward felt
Words that make conversation flight.

He's a little man with a white car
Yet unusual as our meeting, more so is our relationship
A family we make of two unbiased broods
East and West were never so beautiful.

I'll meet you there and we can sing
The songs of youth and farfetched dreams.

"Illegitimate Son"

Was I once like you?
Did I ever rely on my past to get me through?
Pity and remorse have never dominated my life
I have never claimed a life of unending strife
Because I don't need anyone else
I don't care about anything but me
And I won't let weakness get the best of me
Since I won't ever claim what is rightfully mine
I'm gonna prove I'm better than you all in due time
And all you motherfuckers will eventually see
That you will one day wish you are me.

[Cloud Strife]

Burdens of the heart,
A sweet and warm desire,
Not keeping us apart,
but setting us on fire.

...

Set us on fire, you say?
That cannot be good.
I'm human, not hay,
Not made out of wood.

Here we are, burning now,
It's getting much hotter!
Thinking that I know how
To stop it: some water!

Into the shower, turn it on,
It's dousing this mean fire,
But now most of our clothes are gone,
And the rest are in the dryer!

What to do, what to do?
Soaked to the bone, we are,
It's cold outside, and the new
heater's broke...wait, to the car,

Where the heating works,
And the seats are comfy,
though it has it's quirks...
The seats are quite lumpy.




Wow, that was random. o.O

EDIT: Author's note: Despite what some people think *coughKrylocough*, this poem is not about sex. -_-

Send Forward Your Message:

To keep perfection in a machine,
Or cease the struggle
Of trying to keep up with faith
Longing for intellectual desires
Disappearing.. like fallen angel dust...
Cosmic flash of toxic waves
Bellow across the sea
Scenery of mis-matched colors
Run together,
Into the deepest black of night
Nature calls, send forward your message
To the crystal like waters in the ocean
Now make a wish...
