5 minute poetry

"En Guarde"
riposte, parry, thrust, counter
each step an intricate dance of adrenaline vs. adrenaline,
a deadly tango of glinting meatal,
Like two great philosophers, going head to head in the forum,
or the endless repitition in which the animal attacks the mirror,
That is, until someones becomes a shischkabob...

[Squishy Cheeks]

Song for the Eumenides

Sometimes kind is cruel,
to be lead along a path,
mislead by deciet.

Come to me, furies.
Come to me, oh, kindly ones,
Protect innocense now.

Punish the guilty,
Strike terror in the evil,
make them flee from you.

Those who have spilt blood,
There will be no forgiveness,
and no forgeting.


and a love poem to break the pattern. HAH I'm not a one trick pony. Haters!

Me Amore

You brighten my day,
There are no words to describe,
Your lips are so sweet,
Your smile radiates,
Your heart is so wonderful,
Like a perfect day,
or like a great dream,
Your hugs make me feel content,
Safe, away from harm,
I am ever pleased,
Your love is all I need now,
happyness at last.

[RaiRai]

Wasted passion in the eyes of God.

Paint a picture of harmony
where the blue angel cries
her wings raw and featherless
Wasted in fields of white
as she seeks her truth
in the passions of God

Rain falls without him in her life
seeking to see through new eyes
to witness the love that he could show
but he has left her out there cold

Could he care that she is crying?
Her perfect wings now weathered through
his forgiveness not given
her worth now outgrown
she'll live out there, wandering along
in the wasted passion within the eyes of God.

[Funka Genocide]

what was it
thinking out the ground below
in these ashes it did grow
so delicate

again, again it cried
so fierce
never, oh but for thee
I pierce

lament and fury shall prevail
not wondering behind the veil
it stays, and it shall forever
no will consumed or faultered

but die and die
and once more
for a cause it never knew
joyous for is part so played

like angles which don't fit

[Lycanthrope]

And after all the turmoil and heartache
All the signs point my way
if prophecies don't lie then she's the one
she is the star-bearer
a star in her soul
a light to guide my way
as I must guide her
to the horizons.
I thought her gone
I thought her lost
but she's always been there
in my heart
just waiting for me to see her face again.
just as she has waited for me to rekindle
the fire that once danced in her heart.

[BlackMageGirl!]

I come in,
A stranger, someone new
He sees me, he greets me
A bond is forged

And I talk to him
Something grew inside
But, not knowing, gone to another
He sighs, for he thinks he has lost

The brief bondage, the fragile chain
Was broken, such a short life
He comforts me, and once again
Feelings grow inside...

A mistake is made
I, weeping, leave that place
He calls out to me
But to no avail

Fear overwhelmed me
I change my name
I hide my face
I crept among the shadows

Then I remember once again
What we have shared and
I realized my foolishness
I move back into the light

Heart beating, palms sweating
I walk up to him, eyes downcast
Then startled because he embraced me
And whispered "you came back to me."

Then, something breaks inside
I cling to him, sobbing
Yet at the same time, smiling
For I have found him, at last.

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Flatline

Top of the line
The money I paid
worth it? I wonder now ...
For if everything,
when all the pieces
fell into place,
taking longer than
promised anyways,
make up a complete and
flawless whole,
Then why the fuck
did my
"STATE OF THE ART" hard drive
Flatline?!

(Author's note: Ah, the crash of November 12, 2004. I remember it well.)

Silver Lining

Well, shit.
My computer just died.
But Wait!
But Wait!
I may not have a computer,
but I do have a fancy new
coffee table!

[The Mirror Emperor]

First poem in a long time:

I hate living in a world where I am ignored
where everything bliss is more than I can afford
where nobody truly likes me and no one cares
where I'm lied to, spit at, and joked at my despair
where everything seems like heaven at the start
and then crashes and burns, tearing me apart
where I can disappear and no one could care
where there's never ever anyone truly there
I hate living in a world where I am ignored
and I don't think I want to live in it anymore

[Aeria]

Inspired by the poem above, here is one that I just whipped up.

I hate living in a world where I'm abused,
Laughed at, torn apart and ultimately used.
Where The only compliments that I ever can recieve,
Are when they want some more from me, and so they do deceive.
I cry at night because the world is so insensitive,
The endless hate, forever lies they take my will to live.
Everywhere I turn it seems that things are getting worse,
There is no place to find respite, yet for this place I thirst.
There is one way for me to try to even this horrid score,
I'll end their noise, take them to night, and silence evermore.



Inspired completely by me. Absolutely nothing caused this poem to come about, except for my thoughts alone. Oh crud, I'm about to double post. I'll just edit the last one and add this to it. This poem that is to follow has no name... But it deserves one, I think it is really good. I shall call it "Tears of the Past". I was just thinking about things in my life, and how good it was a long time ago. It makes me wonder how my two nephews are feeling, the wonder that everything must be to them. They must be happy children... (Even though they scream alot). Ok, without anymore of my emotional thoughts, here's the poem. Actually, if it weren't for that double posting rule (I think each poem deserves its own post personally), this would be post number 300 for me! Yay me!

The crash of waves makes my heart stir,
As memories flash to life,
Of childhood days and carefree nights,
And a world that's free from strife.

The wind it calls me to a time
When life seemed such a joy,
A time long past that I called mine,
A little girl or boy.

The rain hits drums in endless beat,
That call me to the past,
Of Summer days that bore such heat,
When Winter couldn't last.

The thunder strikes that split the night,
Coming closer and more near,
Take me back to children's sight,
Where I would cower with fear.

The snow that falls so softly by
upon this hallowed ground,
Reminds me at one time the sky
Seemed bluer, the sun more round.

It seems I've lost my way right now,
I don't know why or when,
And I don't know who or what or how,
To find my way again.

And so right now my eyes can't see
For they are full of tears,
Each is for a memory,
That has lasted all these years.

I miss so much, and wish that I could go back... I wish I could be truly happy again...

[RaiRai]

My Beautiful

There are very few things that make me cry
as much as you seem to do
You lift me up and onto your wings to fly
you always carry through
If I falter, you'll stand there strong
until I find my way
You find the means to carry on
you do that day to day
Without fail, you're always there waiting
until I come around
And even though I've often been debating
you give me solid ground
You are my beautiful, my everything
the reason that I live
And with pride that's why I wear your ring
and accept all that you give
Because this love is beautiful
and now I have no fear
Not because I feel it's dutiful
but because I hold you dear
So I'll try to wipe away the tears
that I so often cry
I'll have you with me through the years
Lifting me on high
And I won't worry and I won't doubt
because I know it true
I'll live this dream and love throughout
loving my beautiful you.
