New Poetry Game-Cinquain Chain- Come on, it's easy and fun!

My lips
stay sealed. Say not
what I may think nor feel.
No one listens anyway these days...
One tear...

one tear
is all it takes;
opens a hardened heart
softening the muscled walls. It's
broken

broken…
and what is that?
I take the tattered shirt,
weave it in a quilt and make it
centerpiece

center
piecemeal, piecing
ribbons, swatches, torn bits
there truly is a pattern now
in life

uh oh, sorry for the extra syllable everyone. nice correction ampoule.

Uh uh...not a correction...just carrying on.

In life
Days pass quickly
You blink and time flys
Or so the old addage proclaims
Aging

aging
always imprints
time on a worn dermis
but love binding through the years is
endless

endless
infinity
world without end, amen
all time and space are relative
now what

now what
time to relax
time to jump in the clouds
time to slip and slide down rainbows
enjoy

enjoy
this moment for
soon it will pass. Why must
we strive so desperately to
move on?

move on
nothing to see
but accidents of life
we cause them, have them, tiptoe round
but yes

but yes
I see your point,
I concede the motion.
have you stopped just to try to
listen….

Listen
Forget your fears
Believe you can withstand
The chaos, the turmoil deep within
Do it!

do it
just, they say, sure
but afraid of the dark,
or spiders, heights, or waters deep,
don't jump

Don't jump
but leap instead
and cast your feet up from
the willing ground, don't hesitate
to soar....

to soar,
don’t think of clouds,
leave the moon behind you,
seek to be frail, to be formless,
like air

like air
invisible
so is it really there?
without the air where would we be?
breathless...

breathless
I know it well
a poet word or phrase
catches in my mind, so that
I faint.

I faint
Blurry vision
Ti's deafening silence
Plunging to the deep abyss what
Went wrong

went wrong
righting the rain
pebbles faintly falling
catching the wet in the cupped palm
hold firm

hold firm,
when love fails, hate
trys to take its place. the
question you must face is: will you
give in?

give in
lightning strikes strong
piercing deep left breathless
grasping hold of yesterday thoughts
let go

let go
you do not die,
no heaven or hell waits,
judgment does not hide in pure light,
you do

you do
what your gods say,
i in my godless sect
rule the seven seas, and then cry
for more...

for more...
of that, from you,
said she, looking hungry.
open your fingers and tell me
the truth

the truth
listens humbly
pondering the wisdom
humanity creates for bread
stand strong

"Stand strong."
"I do try to!"
"Then why stumble upon
the smallest trivial pebbles?"
Silence.

Silence
spreads like poppies
in a field, the sudden
spill of blood red blooms bobbing in
the hush

the hush
ignores the wind
and moves along without
sandswept dunes and cold nights stirring
strangers

Strangers
idly wander,
waving nonchalantly
at others, each stranger than those
before.

before
time slips away
look at my palm and read
if you are part of my fortune
cookie

cookie,
the screen flashes...
what does this mean? I bash
the keys helplessly hoping for
a sign...

a sign
of certain mad-
ness is to fool around
with arbitrary poem forms
till dusk

till dusk
do us part, ha!
I sure think I'm funny
until it is time for the sun
to rise

till dusk
do we part not
beneath the bridge of time
wavering with abiding strength
the will

i love it when the haikus appear magically at the same time...well almost..and what they both say...

Beat cha by two minutos but that's okay...we can go with yours.

to rise
again not yet
tomorrow comes quickly
appearing in neon shadows
colors

colours
spread like shifting
sand disturbed by water.
A kalaidoscopic vision
ensues
