5 minute poetry - Page 85

The world is falling through the panes of a thousand shattered glasses
And wisps of beauty leak between the cracks
And everything I find I see is just another piece
And the image I try to build won�t coalesce

If I try too hard, I cut my fingers
If I let it pass, I slip through as well

And find myself falling through the pains of a thousand shattered dreams
Where wisps of beauty linger instead of die
But still all I find are only pieces
And I can only see echoes in the fog

So grow up and throw down and join me on my journey
Escape the solace of solitude
Together, we are alone

So on a day of perfect sorrow we shall leave the hall of dreams
And follow the ancient call of mortality�s horn
Children of the Day and Night - follow!
And we�ll fall through with joy instead of pain

"Serenity"

We fought this war, man by man,
We took a stand to keep this land...
We fought this war so valiantly,
In the battle of Serenity.

The enemies came, wave by wave,
We shot them down, now they're in graves,
We shouted
"You can't take this land from me,
We live here in Serenity..."

The battle raged as the days wore on,
They wouldn't give up 'til we were gone...
There was no end that we could see,
In the battle of Serenity...

Supplies were low, but we stayed strong,
We knew that they wouldn't be here long...
Soon we would begin to breathe
The clean air of Serenity...

Their flags went down, the battle won,
Their war was lost, and they were done...
And that's how this all came to be,
In this place called Serenity.

Knock them down
Grasping at thorns
Bleeding hands claspse
Their last revenge

Keep them down
Cut off from every opening
Desperatly finding a weak point
Something that keeps you going

Push them down
Simple little pleasures
Lies, deceit, and anger
Jealousies and envies together

Kick them down
Any arrows, any blade
Anyway to scratch them
Obsession with the target

Still not down
Wild rage within you
Keeps yourself from living
It is your eye that sees nothing else

....and keeps you standing there.

Yay Poetry!!!
Here's one for all you band geeks out there:

The "Infleuenced" artist

What is it that those old proverbs say,
that every dog will have its day?
So do the band directors say,
that every band member shall play!

*not funny unless you have been in band*
-I have more which I will post later! As in the future...As in as soon as i fine tune my next one!

the keyboard is my instrument
I just realized, just now
as pens or swords of men before
I live through this tool

such a funny thing
to be my destiny
oddly shaped and overlooked
cunningly inobtrusive

its a pass to a realm of thought
where material is nothing
where all the words ever writ
can fit within a thimble

grey as clouds on rainy days
the keys are all so regular
just another piece of humanity
not given its due respect

the things I love
its now counts amongst
from this moment on
I will never forsake my keyboard

Chicken chicken in a pot
How it got there I know not

Do you live in Spain?
Getting there is such a pain

By whom do you ask
It's the one next to the mask

Being the only one
There can be only none

Ham is a tasty treat
Cow is also a meat

Am I here for love
Check on the shelf above

Fry your food in a pan
You will be my number one fan

Beg of you to help each other out
Just don't end up in a bout

Complete randomness is really fun
This is where I say "I am done."

"The last one of it's kind"

The last one of it's kind
It is a sight to behold
Disappears time to time
It never becomes old

You don't see it
Or go near it
You just feel it
Running through you
Like liquid gold...

Makes the heart go fast
Makes the minutes crawl past
Stirs the imagination to run free
Immobilizes you on its wild spree

Too much and it's bad
Too little and it's sad
It doesn't show itself out of fear
This, the last time it should be here

Over there, last look
The final breath
Life it has took
The final death

I wrote this one awhile ago and it's pretty random, but I felt like posting it, so here it is.

German Potato Salad:

A dog with a candy cane
A hamster in the sky
An english muffin dancing
And a dandi-lion fly
A cock roach in my milkshake
Nail polish in the air
A trumpet in my muffin
And an almond pumpkin pear
A dragon flower cutip
A bumble beed fried egg
A chocolate checkered lightbulb
And a lemon's lost it's leg
A purple waxed horned lollipop
A belly button tree
A tomato ball and chain wasp
And a cinnamon toe nailed flea!

"Surreal"

The past seems so unreal
Contemplative and surreal
You look back and remember
Some memories painful�
�and some so tender

Random thoughts still conflict
Mistakes or salvation, change inflict
Hide away what was, close your eyes
You will not look back to that time
�and that person you despise

Burying it down, wash yourself clean
You will forget yesterday, what has been
Everyone can start over, and better yet
Your eyes are bright with the sun�s rays
�.but your cheeks are strangely wet.

Keep that picture, keep that charm
Keep it locked tight, comes no harm
Or is that your soul you hold so tight
Your back is to the sun once again
�.as your face turns to the night

Can�t forget, can�t forgive
Can�t go back, can�t go live
Standing at such a crossroad
Your body is pale and warm
�.but your heart is stone cold.
