Unnecessarily Deep Poetry

I'm going to write deep, heartfelt poems about random things that shouldn't have deep, heartfelt poems. I try to post one on Tuesday and one on Thursday. Please send requests for poems, I run out of ideas super quickly.

anyone else wonder if the rise in dnd podcast popularity is an ingrained human response to the folkloric tradition of sitting in a circle telling each other stories or is just me

I’ve read the cutest fic ever by @toedenandbackagain and decided to draw a comic based on it! Please, read it:  https://archiveofourown.org/works/19840567

"She is *celestial* in the way she looks back over her shoulder at me. Her eyes beckon to me the way a lighthouse beckons lost ships to shore. Without her, life is the endless sea in a raging turmoil.

She is made of stardust and lightning and her body shows it. She is nebulous,

unknowable.

Her body is more attractive than gravity. The way she pulls me in for a kiss comes with passion enough to set a barren moon ablaze with life.

When I look out at the night sky, the constellations only make out her features.

If I look to the east, I see her eyes.

To the west, I see her smile.

If I lay on my back and watch,

Shooting stars will trace the outline of her form.

She is the cosmos.

She is the fiery comet that streaks across the night sky granting wishes.

She is the wisdom that comes from seeking help from the stars.

And our love is the Universe.

Ever-expanding and more than anyone could imagine."

“I was as empty as a box torn in two

Until I found my other pieces, all of which are you.

I was as powerless as a block of wood

And all alone I was no good.

But you came along and complete me

Like seven pieces of a puzzle we came to be.

Over all of time our bond now has hold.

And all of space and its wonders untold.

The secrets of the mind are known to us

And the matters of the soul we can discuss.

Great power is out gift when we are whole

And reality is entirely under our control.”

~Jakespeare

“Infinity Gauntlet”

[unnecessarilydeeppoetry]

“My form and soul are at a mortal war

How to decide the purpose of my flight;

My form, my soul the world’s touch it would bar,

My soul, my form bound to the realm, it’s right,

My soul doth plead that I in him doth stay –

Forsaking my form to a world gone grey –

But the tangible doth the plea deny,

And says in my form, true happiness lies.

To ‘cide the side in which to always stay

A debate of all thoughts and memories.

And by their decision is definite

The ghostly soul’s and the precious form’s due:

As thus - mine soul’s due is worldly defense,

And my form’s right: feeling passion immense.”

“Danny Phantom” ~ Jakespeare

(Based off of Sonnet 46 by Shakespeare)

[unnecessarilydeeppoetry]

“Long nights, rough days,

Listening to coldplay.

You were there for me

To set my sad heart free.

We spoke of pale moons,

Of falling leaves, and of melodious tunes.

You opened a new window to my core,

Letting all see through my soul’s door.

You are my reason to live,

Thanks to the wisdom you give.

Your mere presence brings beauty

And now my mom thinks I’m fruity.”

“Poetry” ~ Jakespeare

[unnecessarilydeeppoetry]

“I hold you in my arms so tight,

Squeezing you with all my might.

Never willing to let you go,

Whether you go fast or slow.

There are times when I lose my hold,

Slipping and falling and breaking my mold.

But in those times you hold me dear;

Then tighten me up and rid me of fear.”

“From the Perspective of a Shoelace”  ~ Jakespeare

[unnecessarilydeeppoetry]

“Since the day you chose me

I’ve been really, truly free.

I grip you with both arms tight

And I’ll stay with you in any fight.

When I wrap my arms around your waist,

Many look at us with distaste.

But we don’t care, we just walk

Past the haters, we let them talk.

You are proud to show me off;

Even though people may scoff.

But we showed them all

The day we let your gown fall.

The classmates all clapped

While the principal tapped

On your shoulder, and said

If you wore me again, you’d be dead.”

“Kilt” ~ Jakespeare

[unnecessarilydeeppoetry]

“I admire your dark, ebony shade.

A thousand wishes upon stars, I’d trade

To see you even clearer.

And to be much, much nearer.

You eat and devour all in your sight.

Nothing escapes you, not even light.

But where does the stuff go, that you eat?

You spit it out, as light or heat.”

“Black Hole” ~ Jakespeare

[unnecessarilydeeppoetry]

“Your skin holds the words of others

In a way that your form, they seem to smother.

I long to see you let it go.

These words aren’t true, I hope you know.

Let those words be like armor to your heart.

Accept your faults and wear them like art.

While you may not be perfect, you are still fine.

I hope that one day I may call you mine.”

“Chalkboard “ ~ Jakespeare

“Out of the three, it is us that leads.

We are the ones who perform great deeds.

With honor and strength, we fight.

Instinct and Mystic, beware our might.

For Candela, we rule over the others.

In your name, we are all sisters and brothers.

Team Valor is strong, and our belief holds true,

That pokemon are much much stronger than you.”

“Team Valor” ~ Jakespeare

[unnecessarilydeeppoetry]

“Red versus Blue.

Friend versus friend.

Meant to be the two

Together til the end.

Even in my iron shell

You broke this team apart.

You made both our lives hell,

Now this war’s about to start.

With my shield I fight

Making my foes yield.

I’ll always do what is right

While you sit in your armor sealed.

As these titans clash

They leave ruin in their path.

Cities covered in smoke and ash

Will once again spark their wrath.”

“Captain America: Civil War” ~ Jakespeare

[unnecessarilydeeppoetry]

“Your succulent taste fills my mouth with heat.

The perfume of your scent knocks me off my feet.

To describe you: steamy, hot, luscious.

But above all, to me you are precious.

I thrive off of the warmth you emanate.

Your toasty form makes me salivate.

When our shapes come near,

Our parting time is my fear.

In your youth, the problem was that

Throughout your life, you’d been flat.

But through my love, devotion, and time,

You rose up and took a form sublime.”

“Hot Bread” ~ Jakespeare

[unnecessarilydeeppoetry]

“You break the mold of the norm.

I can imagine you being quite warm.

You drift through my mind all day.

I believe in you, no matter what they say.

Wenches don’t know of you.

They don’t know what I say is true.

At your pith, you’re quite hot.

Around your edges, you’re really not.

You were unbroken in your youth,

Now your fragments show the truth.”

“Pangaea” ~ Jakespeare. (With some help from @maiahhhh)

[unnecessarilydeeppoetry]

“You warm my frozen form

Both my inside and out.

You help to calm the storm

That is formed from my doubt.

I yearn for your core

Always and forever.

I will always want more

of you, my endeavor.

Before you’re ready, you

Hold strong and stay hardy.

But when you warm up, to

Me you become hearty.”

“Ramen” ~ Jakespeare

[unnecessarilydeeppoetry]

“I love the feeling of your gentle touch.

When we’re together, you never talk much.

Being with you is the very best

Part of my day, screw all the rest.

I long for your warm embrace.

It’s the best feeling, in any case.

You’re the warmth my heated blanket can’t provide.

And my love for you, I will not hide.

Though we may not meet oft,

Your touch remains soft.

And in the times we are apart

Your wonderful memory will stay in my heart.”

“Hot Tub” ~ Jakespeare

[unnecessarilydeeppoetry]

“I long to watch you shine under the moon.

Your gentle touch can cause me to swoon.

I must confess that it’s you that I yearn

Of my love for you, they will all learn.

Your visage changes with my affinity.

Our bond will last for infinity.

I would give every last one of my treasures

To be with your golden aura in large measures.

I want to indulge in your essence

Under the moon’s bright luminescence.

You won’t last much longer

For I can feel my thirst grow stronger.”

“Sparkling Cider” ~ Jakespeare
