In preschool it was drawing
In elementary school it was reading
In seventh grade it was anime
In eighth grade it was Manga
In freshman year it was Asian light novels
Now,
It’s poetry
...
What will it be next???

December tenth stares from a wall,
At a girl with night-colored hair and
Eyes the shade of a twilight
That blurs purple into the darkness.

The girl looks out
At the blurred edges of this night’s snowflakes,
Falling softly past the windowpane
And down to empty streets below.

It has been more than a month since her birthday,
Her escape from fourteen
That twirled around the clock
A hundred or more times before
Finally stopping.

Maybe not a hundred times,
It was only one month
Repeating again and again
With thirty days of sunshine and one of rain,
Only one of rain.
Madoka always dies on rainy days.

A teacup clatters,
Not quite the clinks of shattering glass,
But startling all the same.
The awakened girl looks into
Kind eyes and golden curls left free to spill over a friend’s shoulder.
Still intentional in all movements,
The golden girl continues setting up the rest of that midnight’s meal.

Tiramisu melts upon tongues as
Two friends sit in silence,
And two survivors let their thoughts soften with the disappearing cake.

The quiet reigns,
Until the twilight girl leaves
With the waking of dawn’s light.
A soft “thank you” drifts with the snow behind her
While unnumbered days rise up ahead,
Forever blocking her sight of what’s to come.
This particular poem is a fanfic tribute of the anime series, Puella Magi Madoka Magica. For those unfamiliar with the series, this poem is about a girl who survives a Groundhog's Day/ Edge of Tomorrow scenario where she's stuck in a month-long time loop for at least a decade and is forced to fight monsters and watch her friends and her loved one die again and again.

More than just kawaii desu
More than nico nico ni
And senpai noticing me
You are the reason my heart goes doki doki

More than the final rasengan
More than the last hurrah
And all the power needed for a kamehameha
You give me strength when all hope is gone

More than just friendly rivalries
More than swimming medley relays
And underdog hero clichés
You help me be the best I can be always

With Moon Prism Power
I’ll transform right before your eyes
Into a weeb like no other
You bring me joy before I even realize
A Simillacrum Aug 2018
Oh, no. It's happened again.
My precious words have been turned
back on me in a manner of which
I disapprove.

It hurts -- and words
only win their worth
when they're soft,
when they're

pretty.

Zombie on the boulevard,
and then, a Big Gulp at my back.
Wetness, confusion, anger.
Laughter at my expense.

Tense enough to jump
off the overpass,
stuck to land,
glad to live.

What can you do?

The odds are just as good that
the driver and the passengers would,
years later, die painfully from cancer,
or make the permanent ulnar marks
that I chose not.

Honeyed words are sweet, yes, you're right.
I demand truth of myself, and there are times,
when my self is not nice. Does that then make
my words unworthy compared to yours?

In the end, I see,
the answer doesn't matter.
I should ask, instead:
does it make you mad that
there are so many things out of your control?

I've accepted this.
I guess that's why

I find it funny.
Also the name of an anime or manga series -- can't remember which. Tons, and tons, and tons of hawwwwt sexxxxxxx.

. . . now that I think about it, maybe it was a ******.
veil carrying stardust,
lift us from tis slumber,
guide us O, acorn hiding in the bark,
Dear, robin sing alongside,
Dogs as you carry the sleigh,
inspire us, give us courage,
Goddess of snow and winter,
calm the fire within us,
erase and cleanse the darkness,
be our gardener,
Master of forest,
help us bloom,
bless us with spells,
O mother,
let our footsteps,
cleanse and ward any evil,
make us fearless,
fill our hearts and hands,
with warmth of love seeking friendship,
Guide us O divine spirits,
Guide us everywhere,
be our compass,
and our protector.

Out of the womb into the microwave,
transforms you into a mindless slave.

Diet soda, chips with dip and a bucket of KFC,
sit next to me.
Black holes for eyes absorbant as a sponge to the colors in view.
The colors come to collide,
To whisper a message to my mind.
A message consisting of anime girls and talking animals,
not what people would call manly,
but it is a guilty pleasure,
so spare me the commentary.

So as I was saying,
I lay unmoving,
Licking my greasy fingers like a fat ****,
strapped down to my living room chair,
whilst the colours penetrated through my eye hole,
cutting deep into my soul.
******* out my mother ******* brain,
clearing reality out and washing it down the drain,
The conditioning from the wash has left me braindead,
painted a picture I don't understand but I will remember what it has said.

Phosphers,
of dreams and wonders,
grab me by the hand,
and whisp me off to wonderland.
It takes me,
Like a reaper,
out of my body,
to an obscure,
reality,
painting a picture,
fantasy.

Living in a world of simultaneous information,
Crawling inside and taking away my perception,
everyday,
a part of me is taken away.
They have,
Taken my eyes, so I can't see
Taken my ears, so I can't hear
Taken my heart, so I can't feel,
Taken my mind, so I can't think.

Out of the womb into the microwave,
transforms you into a mindless slave.
What did I just write

You are the light
That spears my heart,
You were there
From the very start.

If I am the guiding star,
Let me find you,
Wherever you are.

In the depths of
This glistening night
You stand firmly at my left,
But it is right.

My fire is the blade
Of your lance,
And you are the
Burning, yearning
Light of my soul.

Waking up with a ghost
The girl that matter to him the most
The bittersweet feeling he has
Can I mend his aching heart at last?

I came back not knowing why
Knowing he can see me, I must not cry
Maybe I just got an unfulfilled wish
Or I just want to eat a dish.

I tried to make my friends see me
For them to know I am here
But every time I tried, no result.
They don't believe Jinta, it's an insult.

I know my time is little
I found out our bonds turned brittle
Secret feelings make us scattered
And everyone in the group surrendered.

While I did my best to mend
Time running fast and it's the end
One last time I know what to do
To rescue my friends from their ego.

To fulfill my wish, now I know
All of them are okay, it's time to go
Tears running in everyone's eyes
Now I can say no more lies.

To Tsuruko,  be gentle
To Yukiatsu, work hard
To Poppo, continue to be funny
To Anaru, always be wise
To Jinta, my love, thanks to you
I have proven to myself something
That even though I am dead
I still got that "I want to marry you".

Group of Friends, betrayal, secret feelings, love. everything was in here. A story which  reminds you of your youth!

My thoughts were divided,
myself were made into two.
I don't know what happened
between me and you.

I cling on you like I was a child,
longing for a mother's love.
I can't deny what I feel inside,
'coz I really think you are my love.

My life was shattered
when  I remembered my past
My memories that were scattered
were returned to me at last!

When I came to you, I was hurt,
I was slapped by the truth.
That you can't remember me
No matter what I do.

My heart was crushed.
All I think about is you.
And I know it is rushed,
but I want you to acknowledged me too

If this is revenged, so be it
But remember, I don't want to quit
If I loose myself for you to remember, so be it
Afterall, being forgotten hurts a little bit.

This was inspired by Lucy in Elfen Lied anime. Her life was so sad and I just can't bear to see her being accused of ruining everything. A person who just want to know her past, seeking love from the person he only knew. And yet,she was pushed away.

Thanks for reading
