Extremely Me


Extremely Me


I’m too extreme

For this reality

The lot of you

Can’t handle the one of me



So I’m sending all my love

My devastated hopes

My broken dreams

Into my next life



The letter will say:



“Dear New Me,

Be true to you

Don’t let them take you down

Like you did last lifetime

Me”

Netherworld Truisms: Expect the Unexpected


Expect the Unexpected
 
Written for the final Red Wolf Poetry Prompt
 
A great Netherworld truism
Is Expect the Unexpected
There's plenty of insanity to go around
No character need feel neglected
 
Sometimes a flame bursts forth from an iceberg
Or a poltergeist shows his butt
Or that might be a visiting rock star un-dignitary
Huh huh huh...hey Beavis, I said Butt
 
Even here, nothing rhymes with orange or purple
Unless you count orange surple
Which has a flavor that can quite overwhelm you
If not paired with a stiff purple nurple
 
We find characters and adopt them
We create our own characters too
We invite spirits we loved in the living world
At the point when their time comes due
 
We don't do things the way others do
Which is why most people run screaming away
We Netherworld folk aren't like others
This ain't a place where the normal sorts stay
 
But if you decide to open your mind
You might like to stay a while
We'll make you see things in a different way
We might even make you smile
 
It's true that we're kind of nutty
But you won't need to be protected
We're not trying to hurt anyone, we're just having fun
In this realm of the Unexpected
 
Best wishes to you
In this year of New
 
Team Netherworld

Every Song Must End


“Every song must end."

Where once there was an energetic soul
Creating melodic legerdemain
To the accompaniment of a raw beat pulsing like a wild heart
The untamed desires of the audience reflected in the sound created

Now there is only a void
An empty hollow, where a short, shy man once stood strong
A gritty Bodhisattva in a tank top and jeans
Who had no patience with parasites
Who inspired broken souls to keep on fighting

The dusk has fallen over his mind
But perhaps even in dying in such a heart-breaking fashion
His spirit reminds us to keep compassion in our souls

Every song must end
His song deserves the grandest of finales

Love,
Dolly

Props and all to whoever made it!

Prompt used:

This poem is dedicated to Malcolm (duh)
Also to our Real Cie, who loves him so much
So sorry your heart is breaking, Darlin'
If I could I'd heal up his mind so you'd both be happy

A Bodhisattva is anyone who, motivated by great compassion, has generated Bodhicitta, which is a spontaneous wish to attain Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings.
