5 minute poetry

[RaiRai]

I just thought I'd make this thread so that people can have a go at on the spot poetry. I'm feeling quite poetic right now, though I can't settle enough to write something specific. So playing it as it goes seems a good idea.

Carved,
wooden and yet made to bend
forced to yeild and comprehend
Unique patterns stain my torso
bare
All of the scars of the times I'd care
but no longer shall this tree grow
stop
dead center
No longer putting myself on show
giving up and in I cave
Resistance?
I'll just accept this early grave
Live as you see fit
a worthless tool of your benefit
Carved and severed
cut in two
belonged to me, now belong to you.

I got one.

Going home,
on the net,
posting somewhat useless threads on random forums,
smiling at the suckers,
filling up computer space or the net,
and making fun of people.

Ya....... that's what it's all about.

i have Rai's old forum
im my favorites directory... um
but when i went there yesterday
noone had posted anyway
the forum was neglected since aught two
and its barrenness made me blue
i almost went to avriel
but im as lazy as hell.

To Her:
I fear to speak my heart to you
That such a step would crush beneith
Our blissful familiarity
And render cold and awkward that
which once was warm and comfortable

Perhaps you feel the same and fear
as I, that it is better left
If I mean more to you than friend
From mutual fear, I'll never know.

A single soul
surrounded by a crowd
who stand idle as the one
crumbles to the ground
some chuckle, others look away
but it doesnt break the fall.

But, on some rare occasion
one may pull away
out of sincerity and guilt
and, somehow possibly, a remote similarity

Is difference so important
that some must be declared outcasts, and by who?
I see no gavel in your hand
No perfection in your mind nor body
the soul you house is tainted with the tears and rage of others

and I pity you, one of the frozen heart,
True bliss can never be experienced
Those that cause anguish know it best.

Although I laugh,
I have no fun,
because I know,
I have no one.
Though I have friends
That I can see,
They don't know
The real me.
When they speak,
It's to a mirror,
for my true self
is no where near.
Who am I?
I do not know,
so when they look
It's them I show.
I walk around, just as a ghost,
An empty shell
without a host.

*sulks back into the shadows*

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

What do you want me
to say?
I'm not sorry.
And I'm not going
to change who I am.
That would take
too long.
It would take too
much effort.
So I'm going to fall
asleep here,
As you shut the door,
leave,
and never come back.
Only then will I truly
know
if you were worth it.

*slinks out of shadows*

Pleasant, kind and sweet I seem,
but deep inside's a soul that screams.
I lie down here, wide awake,
Suffering from a deep heartache.
I've not loved, nor did I lose,
But to have it once is what I'd choose.
I know that life is just not fair,
but is it right for none to care?
Were I to die I would be missed,
but would any regret I'd not been kissed?
Peaceful I am, like a dove
yet still for me, there is no love.

*Slinks back into shadows*

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Within the glass resides
the one thing that
haunts me to remember.
And it is for this reason
that
I will never take your picture
from that frame.
So I can remember
what it felt like
at a time when
I had my arms
around you.

death of a legend
life of the shadow
lurk nearby watching
never to interfere

life of the legend
found death by shadow
the nearby watcher
was never here

the family grieves
mourning at morning
the night's shadows
have been chased away

the family leaves
heeding no warning
the darkness returns
on yet another day
