5 minute poetry

[Osterbaum]

Sometimes I hear you weep
You've been doing it for so long
My promises I keep
It's you who did wrong
So who are you
To make me feel untrue

[RaiRai]

One arguement after the other
it's like this spiral never ends
(I'm holding onto the silken rope
but I fear that I'll let go again)
and all I hear are hurtful words
full of anger and of spite
I don't care what the purpose was
I don't care who was wrong or right
Tired of miscommunication
is there an end to what we've begun?
I'll hide myself away 'til then
I'll take to my heels and then I'll run
because I can't keep on this rollercoaster
I'm not strong enough to endure the ride
Just move along and let it settle
let the present feelings slide
and maybe later when you're ready
we'll sit down and talk some more
just leave me alone right now
let me sink down to the floor
allow me this sweet depression
the melodies of my heart ache
you'll find I'll be alright tomorrow
but for now, let my heart break.

Even though this palindrome took me a week to write, I thought the combo of the title and line were quite clever.

A Backwards Thought

Timid Mike Tadna lived as a devil and ate Kim Dimit.

[Thaumaturge]

Shadows,
Probing, hunting, testing,
Seeking a way in,
Buffet around,
Test your strength,
Try to wear you down.

But not all shadows seem like shadows,
Not all danger stands in sight,
Some wear cloaks of seeming brightness,
Some wear mantles of delight.

Stand against the shadows entry,
Hold them back with all your might,
Unmask those that hide their nature,
Show the world their deadly blight.

When shadows call to pull you down,
When darkness comes to claim your soul,
Stand together, hold them back,
What shadows fear is growing light.

[Osterbaum]

The shadows are closing in
They are coming
We cannot escape
They will close up the ring

What can we do?
We are doomed
I say we fight!

Cause I'm not willing
To meet my end praying
I say we do some killing
And fight loud and proud

(the ring part as not a ring you put to your finger...I'm not sure if you can use the word ring like this, but it was ment to represent a blockade or something more like that.)

EDIT: I'm having a kind of blank moment right now, so don't expect more poems from me for a while...not sure for how long, but only some days at the maximum.

The earth shakes its concrete inhabitants to the ground
The sky turns black with a deadly lighting-spitting cloud
The bodies are heaped into one macabre mound
How can such a small man fart so loud?

Reflection

One who is lost,
In a dreaded wood,
Going in circles,
Wind blowing - not good.
Your buddies armor clunks the ground,
What an awful, awful sound.
You wish desperatley he would go away,
But even knives can't end this play,
So you trail right after him,
Robe brushing after your steps,
Through the knotty wood,
Galimph, Galoomph, Galump,
You watch him trip,
Right over a stump.
Instead of helping him,
You laugh instead,
And then start bawling,
When his sword hits his head.
He shakes it off quickly,
Putting the sword back where it belongs,
Then stares at you awkwardly,
You stop laughing,
And pull down your hat,
Looking away from that dummy like that,
He says you are funny,
And then turns away,
And you continue on,
To your own dismay.
You've tried everything,
From knives to spells,
But he shakes it all off,
He can't be human - not swell!
You met real young,
He flunked in the Vargus school,
Couldn't answer simple questions,
Often broke the rules,
And you, outcast were as well,
Thrown out of the guild,
For using destructive spells,
You were a star pupil,
Intelligent, not daft,
You always did your work,
The best in the pack,
You studied hard,
You studied long,
But it only took one wrong,
The teacher did much protest,
To your newest experiment,
Of which you had paid full token,
You showed your mentor the Hadoken,
He was impressed, I'll give you that,
But you killed his favorite hat,
So out your were tossed,
Outlawed, scorned, banned,
And who was the idiot into you ran?
Twas Fighter, just outcast,
He mistook your instults,
For friendly idle chat.
So now with him your stuck,
Even to this day,
But now you have two new morons,
A Theif and a Mage.
The Theif, oh, he is greedy,
More than any you have seen,
The Mage he is Red,
And the smartest on the team.
And you still too have Fighter,
Oh you wish you could just scream.
Only one thing keeps you running,
Only one thing keeps you sane,
Only one thing in your thoughts,
You must see White Mage again.
