Renga Poetry

[NeverMind]

Staring at the ceiling of my bedroom,

[pnklphnts]

windows open but no one hears,

[NeverMind]

i release myself with a long sigh

[Trevor]

Life is full of suffering, but in my heart I am laughing and full of joy.

[Patheya]

Movement of light infuses flesh

[Trevor]

Movement of light infuses flesh

Beautiful analogy.

[Patheya]

And death became her.

[Flux]

Fill my days with nothing\There's fire upon the water

[Patheya]

Though a reflection, the fire still burns

[schrodinger]

..Such stuff as dreams are made on..

[aviatrix]

My soul shivers at the memory that once again imprisons me,

[Patheya]

and again, marriage to the breath, delivers me

[schrodinger]

It just hit me,
I would not know
A Renga
Even if one
Jumped out and
Bit me
On the finga!

[Patheya]

:)

The only way to know, is not to know ...

[aviatrix]

the darkness of my fear and the brightness of my curiosity are at war, so I jump into the unknown and discover I have wings,

[Patheya]

falling, but faintly upon the dark of my inexperience

[aviatrix]

softly, as if embraced by a lover's whisper

[Patheya]

and withholding the thought of tomorrow

[aviatrix]

unwilling to sacrifice the eternal influence of this moment,

[Patheya]

light descended

[scameter]

standing in the wind

[Patheya]

winding down to the base

[scameter]

reliving the past

[aviatrix]

echoes of the colors of love surround me

[Chan Tiger]

tumbling memories through the corridors of my mind

[scameter]

dark abyss awaiting

[Patheya]

and I draw the first breath

[schrodinger]

and ponder the reason for my existence

[aviatrix]

adrift between pain and celebration

[scameter]

and relinquish the confusion within me

[Patheya]

for the depth of silence

[Michael]

weave the world and light and flesh

[aviatrix]

with mercy and grace for my hushed confessions

[Patheya]

knowing these are part of the web

[aviatrix]

Sparkling intricate lace hiding fierce strength

[Michael]

the veil of simplicity's surpassing beauty

[Patheya]

and I let it go, knowing not to catch the reflection in the mirror of my eye

[aviatrix]

still I shine with innocence renewed

[scameter]

despite the shadows within

[Patheya]

and the huge monstrosity of my figure

[schrodinger]

now naked and half dead

[aviatrix]

thankful that within this body I am temporary

[scameter]

though my soul abounds for eternity

[Patheya]

and there, between the folds of skin, lies the rub

[aviatrix]

I am a wisp of essence buried in concrete, and so alone

[scameter]

alone below the stars

[aviatrix]

let me play among those stars

[scameter]

the stars that light my mind

[aviatrix]

with eternal mystery

[scameter]

Stars abound in the skies
My eyes alight with the brightness
The tears of joy foam within me
My heart pounds to the rhythm

Creases in the strings of eternity
Unravel to show infinity
The height of arrogance
Brought down to humility

The cries of night masked with fear
The terror awaits all who near
The city of love trashed with death
Those who sleep with those who weep

Eerie days long forgotten
The clouds of snow passing over
Shadows form underneath the moon
Shyness clasps the hearts of few

My eyes die with exhaustion
Dining again alone with myself
The bread before me so hard to reach
So tasteful is the air

Arrive now at the end of days
To bid farewell all who enter
Dwelling there forever more
To see the night before the dawn

(hope this doesn't bother anyone :) )
