Inspiration

What should I write of?
I can't think straight anymore
Need an idea!

My next verse comes up
but I still have no subject
Maybe I should stop...

No! I must go on
I require a subject
for me to write 'bout!

Damn inspiration!
Why do you come at the most
inconvient times?

Blasted poem guidelines!
I feel so limited
I am full to burst!

Okay, I'm done now
this is getting too stressful
so now I shall stop.

Watching through a stranger's eyes I see these two lovers and smile so bright
Embracing with a passion unseen before in this side of town,
The boy leans down and delivers a small kiss so light,
I envy these two and the love that they have both found.

Suddenly they break away and with last glances they go their ways,
He not looking back and she walking on,
The boy struts off with his head in a haze
I feel so sorry for when they are apart by the coming dawn.

I'll never forget the way they looked, standing in the coffee shop,
His arms around her, she as pure as a dove,
Neither ever wanted that moment to stop,
But they had to leave and leave they did with an unseen shove.

I'll always remember that kiss in the coffe shop and the girl like a dove,
I'll always remember those two blondes in love.

So close, and yet so distant,
Understood, and yet confused,
Lovers with a penchant
To think they have been used.

Destined for each other,
And yet so torn apart,
Fighting with their lover
is hurting both their hearts.

But through all of the fighting,
Within all that they share,
True love's always uniting
them, to show they truly care.

Writing, writing and at full speed
Pictures in words, sensuality
Coming clearer now, if for me
Whatever these letters hold for thee

And at full speed, going faster
Dive off that cliff, impeding disaster
Spell bound they are, I'm the caster
Or just the servent, they the master?

Cloud Strife · 03-07-2005, 04:12 AM

This was done while listening to the music of the intro for Chrono Cross. Enjoy.

There are worlds where pictures come to life,
And tell the tales that they hold...
Adventures of the heroes of the past,
Of courage and strength of the old...

They were told...

Cerulean Skies, seeing everything,
Protecting mortals from base fears.
And when the Skies could not help anymore,
Champions soon did appear...

From highest mountain to the lowest plain,
the heroes took up the Skies' call...
Protecting mortals from their darkest fears,
Defending the weakest of us all...

With magics, knowledge, and their weaponry,
They beat back darkness forcefully...
Their task is done, now they head for the sun,
Setting on this tale simply...

The pictures fade, becoming still again,
Their purpose has now been fulfilled...
We leave this place, thanking the heroes,
For keeping us safe with their wills...

And watch us still.

"Drinking green tea and reminiscing"

Soft light enters her world
Caressing the desktops,
Lingering over the bed
With it�s ruffled sheets
Smoothes over the lines of
The stereo, playing a song
Such a sad sweet song
It stirs her memory
As she looks through
Her journal of lost times

Sitting on the windowsill
A glass mug, half cracked
Filled with water, two teabags
Taking on a emerald shade
As the sunlight filters through
Dancing in the liquid depths
Casting faint rainbows of green
Onto the white-washed walls

Soft breeze on a warm day
Makes the shutters click
As it softly knocks on her window
Slight demand of her attention
Absentmindedly turned away
At the mere thought, she smiles

Journal in her lap,
Back to her bedside, resting
She stays there, sipping
Taking it all in, drinking
Not just the moment, but her life
The hustle of today fades, just a little
Sitting there, peacefully�

Drinking green tea and reminiscing

Cloud Strife · 03-07-2005, 11:40 PM

Within these walls, peace does reside,
Keeping chaos locked outisde,
while we rest within, in warm embrace,
Contently here, enjoying the grace

of tranquil thought, and feelings shown,
No words come, but no thoughts unknown.
Warm the heart with a simple smile,
Serene music playing all the while

For two who fell into each others' arms,
And saw that it was no cause for alarm,
for staying here, by each other's side,
Their single thoughts would coincide,

Creating love, swift generation,
Supporting love, with exclimation.

he's here and waiting
by your bed
where proper children
dare not tread

a smile and a laugh
more directly, an oppinion
of what the end may bring
besides oblivion

foreign as he must be
a demon wrought from shadow
inklings in a childs mind
of things we'll never know

desperately inciting
a knowing kind of fear
oh, but how exciting
that he should bring you near

that dramatic little boogey man

***RaiRai*** · 03-08-2005, 06:00 PM

I need to sleep, just let me rest
Tomorrow I'll be at my best
If I don't toss, and I don't turn
Within my dreams I often learn
Close my eyes, open my soul
no longer within my own control
Head on pillow, quilt wrapped round
sleeping softly, dreaming sound
So that I may wake, and feel alive
Without my sleep I won't survive
to last the day, or walk the mile
Let me sleep more...just a little while...

Funka Genocide · 03-09-2005, 04:49 AM

life in a gallant light
where all that's done is right
justified within the eye
which views from distant height

a world of sharp contrasts
and broken moral contracts
an age of sinful harbingers
replete with evil prospects

knowledge, logic, empathy
falsely shining destiny
corrupted by a hope against
that most beloved deity

permitting no alternative
for pity, we have none to give
to heathenistic grand ideals
of suf'ring all the world to live

as one, in peace and happily
a world where God can never be
for wars are fought to glorify
a name, a cause of errantry

so kill this peace
while still it sleeps
within the womb
of avarice

to rise above all pretense
for then our souls are our expense
and where then would we place the blame?
or hide our deadly intents?

we can't afford to reconcile
we've gone too far to defile
our hallowed words and detritus
our truth devine so infantile
