3. It's been god knows how long since you felt phantom hands on your neck and there is no one in sight.

Hit with a bit of inspiration after this sessions of limited life, how we feeling? :)

( text reads: We’re told that lightning can’t strike the same place twice. And of course, it’s a lie. But sometimes I wonder… How many people climb hills in search of safety. Only to look to the sky.)

Canary's Call

As my life cuts short and curtains fall

The heralding of your death be the canary’s call

for the birds last breath mean death to all

may only the best live on in the victor’s hall

finally posted it, this poem has been sitting in my note book for like 6 months and it is finally seeing the light of day. It is about Jimmy die-ing first in the life series / traffic life games and how ppl dubbed it the canary curse.

In honor of this week’s Secret Life’s most likely finale, let me share with you guys a poem I made after I finished Limited Life!

One for the Sun

Two for the Stars

Three for the Moon

And four for Mars

Bloodlust curses the land

From deepest waters to blazing sand

The canary sits in it’s cage

As war continues to rage

The cycle repeats without stop

Until one finally comes out on top

They all watch, as if each life were a show

They’re counting down, their rhyme goes:

One for the Sun

Two for the Stars

Three for the Moon

And four for Mars

Joel succumbs to madness.

What is madness? 

It is a world that looks at your world and tells you you are wrong.

What do you mean, you don’t see the canary perched on your shoulder? 

Its blood on your hands?

You’re wrong.

You’re wrong.

I’ll take my axe and carve this world into something that sees the wound it’s carved into me.

I’m not crazy, for hearing the siren song of that fragile animal as I plummet into the night.

What do you mean you didn’t hear the silence ringing in his wake?

What do you mean your heart did not break when his did?

I could not save him.

There is a leash around my throat with no hand to hold it.

There is a coldness against my coat with no body to warm it.

I am an animal that has lost its reason.

Of course he does not resent the hunter that follows, or the watcher that feels relief at his finally being put down.

Why would you save me?

I am a dog that only knows how to bite.

[vialofarsenic]

Not an artpost but..

I made a poem :D

Emerald, gold, and ruby red

Hearts of fire and of steel

Granted three and then you’re dead

Hostile or not, will you reveal

Last things last, the first things first

Will you gather friends or enemies

And when things ‘ventually come to worst

Will you be safe or on your knees

First the fourteen start their game

With naive minds and unknowing grins

Until someone ‘comes not so tame

And death reckons the final wins

Second the hearts are random picked

And gifts of life and death are won

Failing, falling, feeling sick

But e’en then, the last one’s gone

Third their hearts do connect wi’ string

And hurts are shared between a two

But still wi’ first last the canary sings

And last of all the two were blew

Fourth a timer set there was

And deathly gifts were given again

Time to fall again because

The last to die betrayed his friend

Fifth the secrets grew too large

But current times prevent the fi’ish

So remember this an be encouraged

This secret is my final wish

So watch you onward, valiant souls

Keep your guard and do not fail

For secrets from you your heart holds

And thus this ends my poetic tale

But watch careful and do not wait

Unless you dread to end your fate

[4n0therp4intb4llepis0de]

heyyy so uh i wrote a short poem about the victors of the life series

(It was like 2 or 3 in the morning when i wrote this so it sucksss but im posting it anways)

The sun, the stars,

the moon, and Mars

malicious intent clouds the skies

The earth surrounded

By memories and lies

Who was once the victim,

Now can see

The victor isn’t the the one who is friendly

No,

The victor is the villain

He who leads a life full of betrayals,

Enemies,

And envy,

Shall win the game.

The sun.

Three lives, two taken, one survived

Only to be given to another

A shared victory, officially stolen.

The stars.

The failed test,

Almost laid to rest,

He fought and he rose,

Winning the war.

The moon.

Isolated, alone

A sacrifice from another soul

Saving her instead

Mars.

Betrayal, selfishness,

Backstabbing

Three, two, one.

The Earth

Redemption.

What you give comes back to you

A sacrifice given from the Earth to the Sun,

From the stars to the moon,

From the moon to the Earth.

He who has no friends shall rise

The villain has won.

The sun, the stars, the moon, and Mars,

Make room for another.

The earth.

Grian, Scott, Pearl, Martyn

and Scar.

The Curse of the Canary - a poem for life series!Jimmy

The curse of the canary The weight of these yellow wings

Could I ask you a question? When you look at me, do you see my face? Or is it just golden feathers, Amber flames, brazen embers The auburn colour of wilting roses Dying on the disturbed dirt of a freshly dug grave

I've known you to love me 'till the summer Forsake me for a flower Hold me like a lover While you sacrifice me at the altar So now you extend the hand of friendship And I don't know where we stand

Once I lived with you like family After you sent me to my death silently You laughed in my wake, you made a bet You like me to be your canary This time, you promise, you'll back me But I've never outlived you yet

You and I were like strangers Linked by only death and dangers I just wished we'd had longer But now we've found stronger people And I'm trying to leave the coal mine

Can I trust you, past lovers? Old brother? You, you, especially you Wager my life for a feather Games creator and first winner, do as you do Matching plumage, angel and canary Truth is, neither of us can fly

The curse of the canary is to always die first A warning to all those who follow: the end cometh quick In their bloodthirst they misunderstand

I am not an omen I am not here to sing 'till the lights go out I am just another bird with useless wings Just another bird that can't fly Trying not to die first

Trying not to die

[lairesta]

I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen

of meadow-flowers and butterflies in summers that have been;

Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were,

with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair.

I sit beside the fire and think of how the world will be

when winter comes without a spring that I shall ever see.

For still there are so many things that I have never seen:

in every wood in every spring there is a different green.

I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago

and people who will see a world that I shall never know.

But all the while I sit and think of times there were before,

I listen for returning feet and voices at the door.

-- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring --

Oh dear canary

You shoud be dead, but a lover give you life

You should be dead, but your family begged you to kill them

You should be dead, but the word saved you

You should be dead, but you just run out of time

The word love you

But even then

We can't stop you from falling

Dear canary,

Our sweet songbird

We're so sorry

#basically the Watchers lore #But they're nice #And actually care about playlers #And they don't like what they do to Jimmy #But they don't have aby other choice #I think its hc now #im trying to write a poem #traffic light smp #life series #life series s4 #limited life series #limited life #jimmy solidarity #solidaritygaming #trafficblr #I'm to lazy for more tags #I should make more memes

The Fall

Jimmy's foot slipped

Just a toe beyond the edge

And it was over

The Sacrifice

A life for a life

Minutes make a difference

For his friends, for TIES

The Desperate Grab

Searching for something

Desperation sets in deep

An arrow flies true

The Fall

Pain spreads from Joel's chest

The hole where Jimmy had been

The arrow now fills

The Sacrifice

Some time from a friend

A lover or enemy?

Does it matter now?

The Desperate Grab

A chance at the end

A chance for the men he lead

To win in his stead

The Fall

The axe swings down low

Singing of kings before him

Who fell to the blade

The Sacrifice

A bargain not made

As Joel's life leaves him again

He remembers Tim

The Desperate Grab

A hand reaches down

Too late to change the course now

The canary flies

The Fall, The Sacrifice, The Desperate Grab

YOU HAVE RUN OUT OF TIME
