5 minute poetry - Page 19

Drained
drank dry
the spiders venom
fills my veins
and then
pop
die again
with ease
and strange
foreign state of mind
I release my last
scream
my last breath
as I pass
into sleep
for another time.

all the world seen firsthand
illicit contacts, contraband
always me, the vagabond
in easy silence waits

new has become overdone
everything seen as one
I've viewed the end before its time
and still the singularity

waits with me in frustration
enraged at its own consternation
such a thing to be unheeded
in its own supremacy

I'm staying at a Comfort Inn! I have no idea why I wrote thid poem either, but they have free internet access here! Joy!

Why can't I breath,
I think I'm falling,
A dark abyss,
All things enthralling,
Whizzing downward,
I can't see the end,
I've lost all things dear,
All family and friends,
Blood in blood out,
Ashes to ashes,
Dust to Dust,
Falling still,
Into the abyss,
So lonely, still falling,
So empty, this longing,
My heart long ago turned black,
How long have I been falling?

~Cat

Keep my head above the water
don't know why, but I know I oughta
try to breathe,
you're drowning me
I'll attempt to continue living
without the pain that you've been giving
that washes me away
within that doubt to stay
Swim within the depths of blue
I won't be dragged down by you
Aim to stay afloat
Grab the anchor, sink the boat
And I'll break the surface clear
just to try to hold you near
don't push my head back under
I don't need that stormy thunder
and the ripples in the water
show that I will never falter
I won't give in to hate
but save me now, or it's too late.

move a mountain and mouths will speak
of your great power and mystique
but love yourself and all else
and watch the heartache swell

there are those who'd rather tear you down
and champion the the wave which drowns
all your passion's flaming fervor
in bitterness and servitude

holding on seems monumental
such a task no man was meant for
to cross a sword against the world
and confidently war against it

measured out is your length
of time left, of human strength
when the limit has been reached
you become the enemy

CD Cases
Calculators
Game carterages
Dice of all shapes
books, papers
index cards
charactersheets
my computer
a plate of half-eaten
peaches and cream
and thou

Ah the comforts of summer

***RaiRai*** · 07-05-2004, 03:10 PM

Give in to the pleasures of helping myself
Crave all that is wanted, all I can't have
And try to grasp at it with childlike hands
Burned by the fires, but reach in again
I won't give in, I will succeed
I'll aim for the top and I will believe
And no matter the trials and the times I'll fall
No matter the storms that keep me at bay
I'll keep on going, head held high
Until all that I want is finally mine.

Here again. I just came back from a 'Europe trip' so I didn't get to post.

Thunder

Something so loud
Followed by a flash
What could be that sound?
As quiqk as a whip's slash

It breaks the sky
Followed by rain
It's like seeing the heavens cry
But there's no pain

So powerfull, so frightening
No matter what
I find it enlightening

Nature is powerfull...I could do some changes to this, but I'l leave it here posted like this and write the modified one down, just for me.

I'm gonna write one about summer one of these days, but it's just a bit difficult to get an inspiration cause the summer here this year...simply suck. Nothing but rain...

Learning how to smile
learning how to fly
learing to love myself
although I don't know why
I spend my life searching
just to find out if I'm me
why can't it just be visible?
Why can't I already see?
I'll hide myself away now
for a few days or a week
looking in my sadness
for all that I seek
And I'll listen to the rain
beat down upon the roof
as I sit up here rocking
trying to find that proof
that who I am is wonderful
no matter what I think
but I feel like I am nothing
and I'm now on the brink
of losing my mind and everything
that I have come to know
I just wish I'd find myself
so I can let this feeling go
So, to the sound of the thunder
and the chill within my room
I'll slip away for a while
I hope I'll return soon...

Enchanted by a dove,
Belonging to another,
That asked me "what is love?"
And sees me as a brother
It's something from above
That binds us to our lover

To be happy for a moment
Lost and found in unknown arms
Away from those who own us,
I am taken by your charms

What's the use, this mechanism?
What is gained by masochism
Of this hurtful tragic sort?
Is love our pain given forth
Part and parcel to survival?
Is holding on so vital
Its worth my only joy?

I could not see the reason,
I did not wish to, even
As I questioned to the void,
What was received had destroyed
That which I was made of

Who smote the world utopian,
He must want me dearly
My heart, He tears it open.
Waiting for my fealty
I will not face my penitance
Salvation lost in ignorance

My strength is only mortal
I can not stand much longer
My will I only squander
And all I've left is hatred
It taints the bread I eat,
And all the hearts I meet

by some inexplicable twist of fate, this had made me feel a whole lot better! thanks poetry, I love you!

edit? we don't need no stinkin' edit!: I must apologize for this, it wasn't actually 5 minute poetry, it started that way, but I just kept picking at it, and it been about an hour and a half now, so this is 90 minute poetry, cooked to perfection!
