Spades
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
I didn't notice everything was falling
Until I hit the ground.
But, my, how exciting the rush I felt
When my world was coming down.
I pulled a wishbone from my pocket
to make a wish that might come true.
A realm of this feeling,
Sharing the winds tide to come and dance through.
How I utter the hope of energy
That gave me this ecstasy.
With my wish,
May this feeling make this realm no longer a fantasy.

Hearts
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
Beautifully passionate as roses
Sweet and encouraging as ripened clementines
Warm and loyal as the sun
Whimsically protective as the crowns of the trees
Powerfully everlasting as the seas
Soothingly romantic as violets


Blinding as the truth
Sudden as the night
Mysterious as a storm

War drums with an ambition for love.

Stuck
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
Building blocks come crashing down
Like my mood when no one's around
Can't decide to smile or frown
Sometimes It's like my lungs are bound
Now I am pleased, bundled some trees
Set them ablaze and scorched the leaves
Can't clear my name with petty deeds
Sacrifice so my soul is freed.

Empty
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
Gripping on my soul as I look into the shadow
Morphing and dilating like a pupil in the night
Sending chills down my everlasting spine
Rushing winds flashing me signs
Held back by this giant man
Guarding me against this hellish plan
As the other attempts to pull me in this wake
Telling me that it's for my own sake
Gaze at my toes, drifting further away into the hole
Sinking as the time around simply froze
Left alone with this thing nobody knows

Don't waste your words
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
Don't feed pigeons your soul, they won't be satisfied.

You can spin words over and over until they made a blanket to keep someone cozy, but if no one actually cares about your words, then you're left with a blanket you can't even use.

Save your words for someone who actually cares.

Even if you'll have to make a blanket that may one day work for you.

~NonPoem~
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
Have you ever got that giddy feeling
In your gut when everything for the first time felt okay
And then a chill up your spine
Because at some point it would all be thrown away
As if your feelings were controlled like the weather in the sky
And the fall of your whole mood could crash as intensely as that high

Ever got the feeling that you were being watched
From within this world and sometimes not
Like some entity was watching you like you watch the people on TV
Like this whole life you live is nothing more than virtual reality
Now that's a thought that can get really scary

I don't know where I was going with this
But I imagine so much, some pure crazy ****
And at times I find myself sinking deeper in this sand

B*tchFace
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
Rest assured, confidently
This face you see is a mask irresponsive
Colden by previous wars, every wrinkle is a battle wound
The bigger the frown the heavier the wars
Pay more closely, your attention, to this strut
You see this walk, not burdened by this face
The elegant, inviting, nature of my posture
The swiveling of these hips
This face is just a mask irresponsive
Not even Satan himself is able to break it.

Sabotage
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
You hated the world so much
That you made it an effort to destroy it.
Silently you set up towers to knock them down
so that the debris would damage all it surrounds.
You built relationships to ******* them all
so that they would separate and eventually dissolve.
You did it for fun, for sabotage
It's what you'd say to feel better about the day.
But to stoop so low is to wander a path that is not okay
You're left sabotaged and your soul will decay.

Vanity
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
A glistening grin,
with the glare of a snowstorm
Cold in the heart,
but warm on the skin
This tongue is coated in poison,
but these lips captivate your soul
The attire of royalty,
to bestow power upon the crowd
This desire for conquering has never been said so loud

Set The Siren
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
Mend to your station
No pseudo occasion
This is a real war
Chaos called an invasion

Move at what's the best
And to falls you confess
Enemy is fierce
They don't know what's mercy
Challenge what you fear
You will know you're worthy.

Somber Feeling
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
Watching sheep go leaping by
As fountains fill over my eyes
And colored my whole world night blue
Which caused these sad feelings that grew
Oh my, oh my, look at the time
Speeding like a light in the sky
Crashing forward to end our lives
Repeating dreams inside my mind
The story of my brittle life
Lit up in flames sent with a strife
Leaving me dead frozen on sight
Stopped moving, now I see that light.

The days that
Descend aren't what
Should be scaring us today
But how we use those gradually
Ending days that seem to only become
More chaotic and predictable and unoriginal
Almost as if it was all being crafted to make a big
Picture, that once done in its appearance and vividness
We will be mortified by the outcome and want to hide in fear. ====

Ambiance
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
The cooling color of this deep yet bright blue light, highlighting the shimmering cement on the ground

The cooling atmosphere, coating relaxation underneath my eyelids as I sink away into this place

Descending into the space of stars in the warmth of the dark

Silent yet soothing, shifting into a noise like no other

Heavy as the snow, i'm buried in its ambiance

If Snacks Could Talk.
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
All those nights Giddy on energy
Just to get treated like a loose and ***** penny...

Limited mindset made you think there's plenty
I'm not like your pile, I'm rare to the many.

My cost may lack profit
My value skyrockets
I'm not high on ego
Your eyes left your sockets
I've given you your chance
I'm the limited edition

Cause I am my only
And you've made your decision.

Heavy Eyes Cover All Lies
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
We build our towers
Without foundations
We stack stone on more stone
Whatever it takes
To hide that it's all wrong

There's something sour
Living in circles
I've seen this all before
But when all's said and done
I wake up on the floor

I take it
That i'm cursed to live in patterns
What's wasted
Is a life that I don't churn

Tears Leave Scars.
EmperorOfMine Mar 2019
If you were to jump back into time, you still wouldn't have changed my mind.

You were the bad fruit on our line that had to be pulled off of our vine.

So fermentate and be useful to the tortured creatures of nature.

You're just like them anyway, like me too, but to them, you're much better.

Apprehension Story
EmperorOfMine Feb 2019
Golden sands, oh take me
Forest green moon, don't forsake me
Glass blue sea, underneath me
Ash, stone, and blaze now surrounds me

Destined lands that were taken
Stories we made gone and shaken
Oh my lovely drifting memories
Couldn't protect them, so I must set them free

Desperate plans
To make them
Soon chilled by the sight of lights dim
Trials and
Tribulations
Send me softly to vacation

From your hands, you may save me
Come, please, be soon, will I soon be free
There are stories and revelations
Calling curses hexing desperations

Sing while I can
This will all soon cease
Lost
and choked
Forgetting how to breathe
Sing me to sleep, but softly, please
I've lost my land
And now my mourning...

Conception
EmperorOfMine Feb 2019
It all falls in place when you've left the station
Sounds coming together when you've made a conception
As the formation of thoughts form a path for the mind
The driven lines come sewn like their vines
Setting stories stacking towers
Forming journeys, playing for hours
It all collects like the stars in the sky
Driven by the reality of the clouds up so high
Coming from centuries before their own time
A bundle of things for a plan that will shine.

Lone Cub
EmperorOfMine Feb 2019
Set into a journey of solitude
A game I never asked to play
But I have no choices of any magnitude
I get no power in what I say
I follow the whispers that play through my head
In a game where you are utterly alone
You make your friends and then you shed
Who will remember you were gone
Silenced by time to dance solo
Drifting in life, lingering soul
This feels like a shot from a bow
This journey has a subtle toll.

I Quote The GM
EmperorOfMine Feb 2019
Let's have some fun
Cat's got your tongue
You want to know
The game I run
I throw a goal
You play to win
I sew and sow
You reap the end
The sun is set
The moon is too
I don't forget
I speak what's true
A game of odds
The ends even
Don't do facades
Come back again~

Jester Of all Suits
EmperorOfMine Feb 2019
I passed my hat
There was a Jack
I knew I'd have a better Job
The Jack will bow
I rid a cow
Went down to join a raging mob
There stood a king
Next to a queen
Attempting to keep them all calm
I threw a card
I know it's mean
I mean it slid out of my palm
Lined in metal
Sliced off his head
I threw more cause it's just a game
They hopped and chopped
It's called hop-scotch
No one wanted to soon be lame
I found his crown
And fled the scene
My choice of paint is always red
Hear, hear, your king
You better sing
Or the new game will be you're dead
No care the place
I'm there, i'm pleased
That's how I came to gain some fame.
There's isn't peace
But let us feast
I wear my smile like your pain
I'm called Jester
Of all the Suits
Because I equal to their might
Call me a freak
You sad pipsqueak
But all will know that I can fright.

Why Do You Care
EmperorOfMine Feb 2019
The smile you give me hurts my soul
Because as much as I want to smile with you, I know how this story goes...

From a smile to a scowl,
It's the same, every game,
So that's why I throw the towel,
I don't like to waste my shame,
It's okay, but don't you dare,
I don't get why do you care,
It's a curse I cannot lift,
I just wish not to exist,
But I do, so I accept,
It's all I really have kept,

So you see, the mystery has had its story lit to see, I'm often alone, and misery, don't waste that light on someone like me...

From Me, To You
EmperorOfMine Feb 2019
Someone is looking
My soul is shaking
Maybe I've lost my mind

Maybe I'm crazy
Can you come save me
I think you're one of a kind

Put on my dressing
Can't stop obsessing
I envy the light you shine

You're so testing
Now I'm confessing
You're all that's on my mind
To food

Fated by It's Name
EmperorOfMine Feb 2019
It was just a bonfire,
what you and I had,
just right by the house...

Did it have to be so bad?
For our first time,
I tried to stop it,
But it was like you wanted us to have it,
so broken and sad,
but it was what we needed to bond and to have a good laugh.

But that bonfire sparked embers up and coated the deep blue starry sky,
Making futures and fates I could wish for throughout the night...

You'd think that all the ambers up would cool out in time,
That everything would remain to resume just fine...

But near my home,
Was an amber of sparking ambition
Like fate sent it out,
Was it on a mission,
Powering through, didn't have decisions...

Lit my home right up over,
Just by slipping through a vulnerable crack,
So much for thinking that I could just live with you then
But I didn't know that you'd turn your back...

A meek and crushed me alone
Nowhere to look but at what I've sown
So I built some walls around my house
I thought my tears could stop it
But i'm just a mouse

From fire to now burning
That's when this experience brought me some pain
Here's a short version of my story
Of how a crush burned me in flames

Gloomed
EmperorOfMine Feb 2019
When you're trapped in a circle of patterns
Patterns that make up the same torturous scene
You get slapped in the face and now you're gloomed.
Don't worry, it'll pass by, maybe...
You'll start numb then you'll think, lately
You haven't felt like yourself at all.
You'll feel like everything is crumbling around you,
And that to end it, you have to get influenced,
But it won't last beyond a week, at minimum an hour.
It'll pass, and you'll be fine. If you're not, at some point, the sun will once again shine.

Diary
EmperorOfMine Feb 2019
Gosh,

I wish I didn't feel this way...
Testing waters just to get boiled and drown today
Walk on eggshells pretending that everything is okay
Ripping my mouth off so that I won't have much to say.

I'd rather feel numb and lose all of my emotions
Trapped in plastic wraps, bags composing only choking sensations
Clearly vague and distorted like a real contradiction
It's a shame I feel like i'm a broken creation.

Pillow
EmperorOfMine Feb 2019
A flow in time divided into nine as a moments scene feels like an eternity.
Falling slowly unconscious, my soul clutches it's heart as I do the same to mine.
Rapidly changing, the scene clicks forward, ticking and tocking faster and faster.
Filling the rooms inside my head with tears I've knitted blue, with dread.
Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with my head, as I lay in my bed and pretend to be dead.
Staring a tunnel into the ceiling, forgetting life's meaning, streaming old memories, ruminating on past tragedies.
I've never lost my conscious, cause I'd rather be nauseous than gone and haunted by thinking I'd be forgotten.
Such a world this is, a world I'd not miss, but I wish I wasn't so consistent on ending.
Ticking and tocking like the clock today, waiting to stop, just to pass away, but is that okay...I'm not sure I know what to say...

Valiant
EmperorOfMine Feb 2019
hate to break it to you
but step on your brakes and take a few breaths
pace yourself cause the news i have will put you to the test
this world's falling faster than our minds can grasp so we leave it to tomorrow
although we know it can end tonight, the powers who hold it are hollow
all i ask of you today is to remember that this day could be taken anyway and put your living shell in decay
listen for the words i'll say because there's something in your way
blinded by the thing that wants you dazed
so when you're attacked you'll be hazed
a blunt attack that can only faze
and send you into a mental maze

Give Yourself A Rose
EmperorOfMine Feb 2019
Dancing all alone
Not a care within this Earth
Although they'd say that I'm wrong
I see beauty in my worth
I don't need to be tied down
To stay flawlessly modest
Or to feel that I have value
I'm an art piece that's costless
I don't have to be a beast
Cause I'm single at the least
Why can't I just love myself
First I need some inner peace
Then I can go out and dance
Mingle in the crowd of chance
Possibly find love at sea
I don't need to though, you see
It's a thing I can desire
But romance can be just one
You should come first, at least prior
Don't be sad, go have some fun.
If no one else will...

Bundled flakes of frozen tears
Came from the sky to greet the ground
The frost races the wind as sound

Snuffing the fast pacing of time
The snow is not to be hasted

I was broken but free

All alone with a clear view

But now, you're all I see..

HEY, wait a minute

No, you can't do this to me, wait a minute

No, that's not f a i r...hey, wait a minute

WanderLust
EmperorOfMine Jan 2019
Run out into the open, be free to have fun
Find yourself floating in a sea, under the sun,
Glide your hands over the polka-dotted skies,
A sea of wonders overwhelming your mind.

The ground may reform to reshape every scene,
Don't be afraid, for I know what this means,
The life around you may dance and may sing,
This is all good and should be happening.

May you feel the warmth and the cool,
Hopefully, you capture it all in full,
Subjugate yourself to the conquest and adventure,
A world of pleasure is what that reward will render.
EmperorOfMine Jan 2019
We all have that one feeling.

Lost at sea, in mind,
Desperate to shape the hidden design,
A pattern puzzled for play or for preview,
A sudden desire to find the missing clue.

Some see a treasure chest, and others see a tropical forest,
There is so much WORLD out there, an adventurers fortress,
Such a distant realm, yet it's also so close,
An addictive game to play, but we don't want to overdose.

Three Musketeers
EmperorOfMine Jan 2019
This isn't about religion but acknowledge good, bad, & "you".

Let's rephrase them as:

Soul
Sin
&
"Self"

There are three soldiers.
One looking forward,
One looking backward,
And "One" looking Up.

Soul stared ahead and exclaimed, I can't see the end.
Sin sighed, I see where we left, but there is no answer.
Self stated, "The sun will go down soon. We need to find safety."

As the three wandered this long and wide path, surrounded by large amounts of wildlife and nature, they saw no place that they all deemed safe to rest.

This led them to their argument.

Soul, We should rest forward, in the fields, vulnerable, but free. No one would think to check the most obvious area.

Sin, No one will have to check. That would be handing ourselves over. We should hang back, in the jungles. We will have to be vigilant, but we will blend in.

Self, "Both are bad. Both certify our death. One makes us an easy target to the main enemy. The second one makes us a target to many enemies. We should follow the stars. The brightest star will lead the way before dawn. We will be victorious, but only if we keep our head up."

This story starts,
Underneath
I look in the puddle underneath my feet
I see
A portal into another dimension
To walk
Is to breathe
Falling forward ever after
A story like a rapture
Awake
For my sake
Is how the story goes to make
My soul starts to shake
I know
To appreciate
For the ending has to show
And oh, I fold
The strings of fate to take the place
Of destiny
It's the only way I'll see
The golden warning
Forcing distant tension
A movie in immersion
Facing the ceiling when it ends
A looping limbo all over again

Falling
EmperorOfMine Jan 2019
I felt a drop inside my gut
I smell the rot not far from me
If weight could slice, well I'd be cut
This toxic feeling's surrounding
As hard this feelings of to rid
The setting it makes is much worse
No one will listen to the weak
A fallen evil fated curse
A distant whisper in my ear
I feel something is going wrong
Nowhere to run, no safety near,
This suffering is way too long
