5 minute poetry - Page 59

Technocrack · 12-04-2004, 04:47 AM

I know the truth, what you feel inside.
You never loved me, all this time, you've lied.
What is it you want from me?
I'm trapped by your lies, your hypocrisy.
I'll struggle against these bonds of love,
Grasp the chain and pull myself above,
Your words hold no power over my soul,
And now, for once, I'm the one in control.
You beg for forgiveness and cry my name,
It's another lie, just more of the same.
You loved me, used me, then tossed me away,
Your lies will catch up to you, some day...

Many years later, you're still alone,
You have forgotten our love, You've moved on.
All those promises mean nothing now,
You've broken my trust, forsaken our vow.
And now as I sit here by the ringing phone,
I listen to you cry out, you seem so alone.
In one swift motion, I sever the line
I have moved on as well, I'll be fine.

Edit: Woo! Post 600!

Another random poem. Enjoy it anyway.

Angels falling,
Darkness calling,
Final flights,
Horrid sights,
Death is breaking,
Life's been faking,
Carnal knowledge,
Moral college,
Find onself,
On a shelf,
Find the others,
Darnkess smothers.
In the light,
No more fright,
The final rest,
Unmoving chest.

BlackMageGirl! · 12-04-2004, 07:27 AM

I'm in a strange mood tonight
This very moment I have changed
Very messed up, kinda strange
Run while you can, take flight!

And how the people will cower
Let the randomness ensue!
It is most certainly true!
It gets worse by the hour!

To find out the difficulty here
Others rush to find the cure
What they don't know for sure
Oh no! Could the end be near?

And I continue to play around
Laughing, bouncing, being the fool
I declare myself the queen of cool
And all the absurdities just abound!

Will this ever end? Oh, it might
I need my sleep too you know
It's not like I'm crazy, just to show,
that this moment is a special night!

I will try a shot at this poetry thing

Silently as the wind she comes
Slowly trying to keep away
From what has been before
And what will never be again

Leaving what has been left
Cutting her ties and setting adrift
Burning all of her bridges
She will not look back at it now

There is no point in remembering
Pain is only there so to guide you
Survival is all that matters
In this harsh cold reality

Erasing all of those memories
She casts off her old shell
And lives with no fear
Also no passion, with no light

Light and dark is what we are
Both control us and direct us
For one to not choose any
Reduces you to nothing

And she that is standing
Among the petals of all that live
And falling from the grace of heaven
She doesn't know,
but she is killing herself
So softly....

Squall Lionheart · 12-04-2004, 09:28 PM

Wow, Suzuran, that's really good! I like! ^^

I'm a bit of a poet, too, so I'll show you what I can do. ^^

One final breath, filled with hate,
You find yourself at Hell's own gate.
Hatred rose ev'ry step you took,
Your once good life you have forsook.

Hellfire swirls all around,
You feet are burned by molten ground.
You look up straight into his face,
Your mind he takes; mem'ries erase.

You've been conditioned,
In his tradition.
He sends you back,
No anger lacks.

Back into a world you loved,
You hate it now; it's up above.
Now you're ready to do his bidding,
You found that all that's good's forbidding...

Cloud Strife · 12-04-2004, 11:47 PM

Ah, I remember that one, Squall. You should post more of them, they'll like 'em.

"Culmination"

The treasures that I find,
Are deep within my mind,
Filled with wonder, stuff of dreams,
Filled with dread, Terror's screams.

A loving moment which had transpired,
A weakened moment; powerless, tired.
Memories of war, heart-wrenching death,
Memories of love; I'm short of breath.

My life is passing, flashing by,
It's coming now, soon I will die.
Into the arms of hope I go,
Loved ones await me, this I know.

Don't cry for me, now don't you fret,
This last journey leaves no regret.
I've lived my life, and done my best,
Now I have earned my final rest.

Now down my cheek rolls one last tear,
But not from sorrow, not from fear.
This last tear was one of true joy,
Now I go, with heaven's envoy.

BlackMageGirl! · 12-05-2004, 12:05 AM

I put on that mask
Paint it bright, shimmering sequins
Does this please you?
Will it appease you?
The battle that is fought within
Another hopeless dreary task

Putting up, more decorations
And more jewelry to hide
Will this be good?
I'm like I should
Do not notice the festering inside
Fooling you, my inspirations

Maybe make a costume so fair?
Glimmering, eyeing your delight
It shall fool you
It shall show true
The inner war that rages tonight
Caught in that horrid trap, a snare

I do not bleed, I do not burn
You do not see the sadness
You don't see
You just willfully
Cover yourself in gladness
My welfare not your concern

I’ve got a singin’ monkey
Yeah, everything’s all right
Cause I got a singin’ monkey
That sings the songs all night

Sing monkey sing!
For all that you are worth
You’d be a monkey king
If you weren’t hiding in my purse

And that’s the way of things
Just another lowly monkey
How beautiful it sings
So horribly off key

Failure
Destiny

Impeccable taste for finer things
An empty man
Some shallow thoughts
And every night a different love

No need to save or think about
One so lost and faulted
Nor all the easy ones he’s had
And left to fend for themselves

He’s moving on
To greater things
He will succeed
The way that all men do

By lying and cheating
By putting up a front
By becoming the ideal
An automaton

And when he’s old and fat
With his horrid looking wife
With his children spiteful monsters
With his bank account so grand

He won’t give a damn
Just shake his fists in anger
While the darkness overcomes him
His last thoughts will be hatred

I just never wanted this
A life of something else
Burning for a single kiss
From someone giving love

Groomed for an endeavor
Of finer motivation
And oh, I was so clever
I tricked myself to this?

I’d rather work at burger king!
Man I hate this job!

Everyone just tells me
You’d suck at anything
I find that hard to see
Through these eyes at least

Noone ever asks
What it is I want
Just hand me simple tasks
And thumb their noses up

Well fuck em all!
That’s what I say
They’ll see a fall
Where I’m no longer there

Just gone away
Not dead or lost
And living life my own way
And never thinking of them

If it weren’t for my pride, I’d have quit all ready.

BlackMageGirl! · 12-05-2004, 12:52 AM

Don't ask me where I got this one from...it just came out. Enjoy.

Well, it seems it's another race
Two oppenents keeping pace
Running to that finish line
Who will be the victor this time?

They press, sweat dripping down
Going for that winning crown
This is all that for them is real
Success now up for grabs, to steal

Closer and closer now to the goal
The pressure now taking it's toll
Breath comes short, arm fly wide
They trip and fall, just inside

And the winning ribbon with it's downward fall
covers both of the bodies who gave their all
One stands up and offers a hand
The other takes it, they understand

They didn't win, but it doesn't matter
The goal, the fame, it's not the latter
They clasp hands, both acknowledging
The other's strength, friendship following

Squall Lionheart · 12-05-2004, 01:39 AM

Fine then, Cloud, I will! By the way, nice poems everyone! ^^

Wretched hate, wretched foes,
Kill them now, true death throes,
Into darkness, into death,
None of them has to draw breath.

The living dead, the devil's work,
In the darkness, there they lurk,
Seeking out the darkened souls,
Bright, to them, as burning coals.

Another found, they start again,
Wake another darkened friend,
This one shall strike out once more,
Darkened right down to the core.
