This contests deadline is my birthday! So I wrote a poem for it in hopes that I'll win.

"Heavenly Bliss [Sestina]"
Angel with wings pure of heart,
Hear my plea on this lonely night,
I've fallen to the temptation of love,
Fear is taking over my emotions,
Causing an unstable form of mind,
Please give me one last chance,
I will not make light of this chance,
Holding this ambition close to my heart,
With determination I have set my mind,
Prepared to set forth as soon as tonight,
Holding close these simple emotions,
I will find my way to fall in love,
Angel will you please define love,
I'm scared that I will miss this chance,
Failing would change these small emotions,
Revealing the darker side of my heart,
Cold and pitch black like the night,
Please help me make up my mind,
I'm weak with a fragile sense of mind,
Please teach me the strength of love,
Make me glow in the midst of night,
Turn me away from every false chance,
Watch carefully the shades of my heart,
Then teach me the sweetest emotions,
Will the angels feel my loving emotions?
Could they read what's on my mind?
Will they see what's hidden in my heart?
These little seeds of my forbidden love,
Taking turns to grow given the chance,
Will all fade in the darkness of night,
Angel where are you on this lonely night?
So full of fear, love, and hidden emotions,
Will you risk your angel wings on this chance?,
Showing my soul the weakness in my mind,
Will you teach me how to fall in love?
Embedding your warmth into my heart,
Angel give me one chance on this lonely night,
Teach my hidden heart how to flourish emotions,
Assure my mind that it's alright - to fall in love...
