deus ex machina
mikecccc Jul 2016
I tried drawing god
realistically
it wasn't very believable  
perhaps a better hand
could've done a better job.

A duel
mikecccc Aug 2016
Honor can't be forsaken
such an important form
of invisible currency
I fear the only solution
is pistols at dawn.
344 · Jul 2016
I can't convince you
mikecccc Jul 2016
Will my claims
Sway you
I don't think they will
Would more certainty
In my voice
do the trick
If you couldn't see my eyes
Would this be easier
Don't know why I bother
Except that I don't want
You to suffer.
So many stories

A statement phrased
as a question
how rhetorical
why ask answered questions
to see if I knew the answer
to show how much you know
cause you're obnoxious.

malevolent green glare
mikecccc Sep 2015
Oh the limelight
Desired by all
Except those in it
I suppose
It's human nature
To want to be known
And also so human
To regret our desires
For so many
When the light
Shines on you
We see too much
Or somehow too little
Which causes misery
And can ruin
The thing you loved
Not always
To be sure
But often enough
To make you wonder
If you still want it
Honestly just a little bit.

The Green knight
mikecccc Apr 2016
Decapitate me
if it please you
I will survive
what need have I
of knowledge
when I have magic
I challenge you
to rigged games
alls fair in what
I declare.

Last day
mikecccc Apr 2016
Like ever
What to do
When
Armageddon Arrives
Loot
******
Spend the day
With family
Just read a book
I don't know
If it happens
I'll think of something.

Finally alone
mikecccc Nov 2015
Well they're gone
You said leave me be
And leave they did
They weathered your rage
And your sour moods
As long as they could
But even those closest
Can take only so much
Why did you do it
Are things really better
Maybe you just
Didn't know what else to do
Maybe you can replace them
Or get them to return
But no those bridges are burned
And I doubt your strong enough
to rebuild on your own
Ah well
What are you gonna do.

A thousand words
I got a handful

Team colors

it's all one big violent game

When you say it like that
mikecccc Aug 2016
A giggle in your throat
as you discuss
the horrific mad mundane

some not all
call the day to day
stop it

then people will care
maybe.

Prometheus
mikecccc Mar 2016
No good deed
Goes unrewarded
You brought illumination
To ancient humanity
And in return you got
Tied to a rock to be
An eternal last meal
Maybe you should
Have sided
with the titans.
An old story
But then
Most stories are old.

I can battle the invisible menace
I will feel better soonish
if it doesn't **** me.

An acquired taste
mikecccc Dec 2015
If at first
you despise it
Give it time
Before you know it
You'll love it
It gets easier
After the first time
Soon you'll be a pro
So don't worry
It's just
An acquired taste.

mikecccc Jun 2016
How much time
do you have
decades or days
how much of your allotment
have you used up
do you drink or smoke
do you live
heh asking you
like you know
all are days are numbered
but the exact number
is not for us to know
maybe for the best
maybe just to annoy us.

Action packed speech
mikecccc Nov 2015
Actions speak louder
Than words
But words
To be heard
Must be spoken
And speaking
Is an action
One with
Great potential
Saying the right thing
To the right people
At the right time
Can make
All the difference
In the world.

It dawned on me

your system is madness
and I can't interpret it
where is your user manual
or a pamphlet at least
these errors almost certainly
could have been avoided
you will receive
a negative review on yelp.

I sometimes pray
robots will put us all down

neutral good or evil

certainly something.

The wind whistles

a sour soup
mikecccc Oct 2015
A cauldron full of hate
seasoned with vinegar
and a drop of scorn
maybe a slice of egotism
boil for a year or so
in solitude and bile
and you'll have
the perfect troll
A golem
of ill will.

circular society
mikecccc Aug 2015
what story is truly new
if you look closely
you'll find the answer
is quite few
from Gilgamesh
to Superman
and non fiction
shares that quality
ages ago
people asked
"why am I"
"is that wrong"
"what comes next"
I wonder if well have answers
according to the textbooks
probably not.

You ever seen
Those ships in a bottle
Those are done by hand
Such precision
Such patience
It makes me want
To scream just thinking it
And that's the problem
You want a poem finely crafted
And all you get
Are chaotic ravings.

Sickingly sweet

You're so full
Of sweet sugary words
I am amazed
Your teeth
Haven't rotted away
But no they're just
As shiny and white
As they ever were
Good for you.

old timey medicine
mikecccc Nov 2015
Not so long ago
it was thought
that you could
bleed away sickness
and technically
it worked since
dead people
can't get sick
oddly this idea
that bloodshed
is a good cure
for any problem
is still around
I couldn't say why.

without a hiccup.

small accidents
mean so little
in the grand scheme
unless you keep
a tally in mind
of how many
small accidents
have happened
you get a pretty big number
does that mean
they're suddenly worth tears?
depends on the eyes

Minotaur
mikecccc Feb 2016
Kind of an animal
Kind of a man
like so many others
but in a more literal sense
Placed in the labyrinth
away from polite society
one day some one
will come
to put you out
of our misery.

Fix it
mikecccc Jan 2016
It was smashed
The fragile pieces
Scatter and splatter
All across the floor
The sound was heard
Maybe not by the world
But definitely throughout
The wonderful prying
Neighborhood
But It no longer flickers
So that's a win.

Time capsule
mikecccc Oct 2016
Toss the present
into a box
so the future
can laugh at the past
or feel like archaeologists
which is more clinical
maybe learn something new
like what fools we were
and how similar we were to them
might be something worth selling
who can say.

mikecccc Apr 2015
I like shiny things
If I could
I would bedazzle myself
With rubies and emeralds
Diamonds and sapphires
All real of course
If only I could
I would look so cool
At least In my opinion
But alas I haven't the funds
Or if I'm being honest
The courage
A suit of precious gems
Would receive so much
Undeserved mockery
I fear I couldn't stand it
How sad.
