Colors of the Wind

by NyellMoonlight

Your soul was given to me
with a cellophane
and an instruction manual.

Sweet petals of oxygen
died within glassy lungs.

Your soul was colored as the wind-
sepia constellations managed to grow
watered with woe,
dissecting warmth
of the nights shared...

... and after all these years
that bitter zephyr
still caresses my thoughts.

The Real Thing

My screams fill the bitter cold air,
For I do not know if I can ever bear,
This tragedy that has suddenly arrived,
Before my scared and petrified eyes.

I hope he will continue to fight
I'm praying that he will be alright,
I don't know if there's any hope,
How could death lie so very close?

I stay with him till help finally comes,
And by then I am completely numb,
With coldness, dread, and tons of fear,
As I silently start to cry some tears.

Why does it have to end like this,
Where there is no peace or any bliss,
I just wish this was all a dream,
But I know it's the real thing.

Tiny Glass Tears - Cyber_Saiyan

Broken glass falls from above,
Climaxing the weekly fight,
Husband and wife; feuding again,
No romance to be had tonight.

Without even knowing the reason,
The two go round and round,
Screaming, yelling, throwing pictures,
As the glass falls to the ground.

Trying to make it work,
Not wanting to realize their worst fears,
He speaks the words of separation,
Standing in a pile of tiny glass tears.

When you have given everything you have,
But more effort is required,
Knowing this cannot survive any longer,
Tired of always being so tired.

The broken glass that surrounds the room,
Is a symbol of our marriage,
Us without love; you without me,
Is a white horse without a carriage.

What was is gone and is no more
We must part our separate ways,
I will always love your soft spoken voice,
That still sets my heart ablaze.

As you move on to find another,
I will remain unchanged,
Like the shattered glass on the bedroom floor,
My heart is now deranged.

You were my reason for living,
Even if I was your worst mistake,
I lay on my bed of broken glass,
Never to awake.

Secrets Tattooed Upon Your Tongue

The forgone
dampens my bones,
suspended before owl eyes.
Choosing to mock me
with affection,
never mine.

I, of course crumble
for venom loves these veins.
Keeping secrets tattooed
upon tongue
cautiously away.

Have you ever felt
a heart beat?
in truth it never brakes.
The pit where butterflies roam
becomes a haven for
insecurity.

I have,
of course
witnessed the past,
present and the future.
Yet bounded is what I am
inside the pages of you.

Left right,
up down.
Down up,
right left.
Slow, fast
fast slow.
You, I.
I and you.

And I of course crumble,
but in truth I never brake.
for it's just a metaphor
in my mind to keep me safe.

It Came, It Grew, It Exploded

Together we held hands and ran from the sun threatening to break the horizon;
we wanted to have the colour and hope of dawn with us forever.

I told you that some of us are born with cement hearts,
Not from the city not from the streets; I'm weighed down on you,
We were never one to win, but our arrogance made up for it.
Nothing really mattered except the stars in each other's hands.

So in the morning twilight I turned to you expectantly,
Yet thinking back I don't think you ever completely understood.
I was asking you to keep this moment with me forever,
You smiled, grabbing my hand we ran, we flew, we soared.

Then our game wore down and I could see your interests fading,
Who was I to think that I could tame a wandering mind?
So with all the courage I had inside: I stopped.
We blew a kiss to perfection and (seemingly) inevitably, we surrendered to the day.

And The Door Slams Shut

Her knuckles grew white.
As it flowed through her arm;
Palms Sweating,
Mind Racing,
She stepped out from,
The delusion life.
Removing the cloth
From her arm
She wondered at
What shed done.

Grabbing her bike,
She tried to
Escape the shadows
Drawing ever closer
Silently fighting to
Entangle themselves
Around her.

By this time
She was gliding
Down the road on her bike,
When,
It hit her.

The driver never saw her
Coming round
The corner.

And now...

She lay
Across the hood,
Head resting,
On the cracked
And shattered glass
While her blood
Ran Down the windshield.

Still breathing.

Into the distance,
She stared.
The drugged stupor
Having long ago
Faded away
Back into sobriety,
She wondered, why
She still saw him there.

Smiling at her

He looked the same.
Even though,
It had been 3 years.
Yet still he wore,
The same suit
He had worn to prom
Even the little stain
Was Still There.
She had made spilling
Her punch on his jacket.

She tried to smile back
But found, she couldnt,
Her jaw had broken...
A tear, from her
One good eye
Raced down
Her bloody cheek
And joined the puddle
Now forming on the hood.

She Closed her eyes,
And drifted slowly away.
Imagening him by her side again,
And she slipped slowly off
Into that place between places.

A Broken Heart Left to Die Alone.

Through these dark eyes that no longer smile,
I can see your pain, it's transparent; visible.
Every deep cut that bleeds from your heart,
reminds me that I am the one who caused this.
Tears flow down my cheeks, staining them...
with the pain that I have put you through recently.

Obscure mind encompassed with thoughts of you,
tangled together, producing one big knot so firm.
Resulting in pure disarray, impossible to unravel.
Resistive to anymore thoughts to enter this mess,
for it will only cause more trauma; the fog will only-
solidify, thoughts will entwine into a tighter knot.

Broken heart that bleeds, screams your sweet name.
Shattered to pieces, stomped on, left to lay on the floor-
along with yours silently cracking, demolished, bleeding.
Forlorn heart yearns for love a third time, yet knows that-
it may never love again, already crushing your heart twice.
Although it was not intentional, my heart deserves to die.

Put a flaming match to my heart, watch the colors fade.
Let the debris of my heart singe along with my darkened soul.
After a while, coals will be the only thing remaining on this-
cold ground, symbolizing a broken heart left to die alone.
All memories that it has experienced along the way-
will diminish within the coals and none will be remembered.

While the smoke settles

The soft moonless night
Will wipe away my tear
I promised not to cry
But why did it appear?

Alone, on this bitter night
In this dormant forest
I'm burning my heart
On the flame of sorrows

The tongues of fire dance
The smoke silently settles
Like ashes of fallen stars
Like ashes of rose petals

There's no sound and no glow
Anymore... What is now left?
No tenderly-wild flames of love
But weak warmth of dead regrets

The smoke settles... But look...
what's here, on the land?
One petal, almost not demaged by the fire.
Carefully, i take it in my hand

The sunset lightens the sky
And turns away the night.
One last petal of me heart,
one last chance to survive.

Another Fallen Cry

This juliet was bleeding,
Her soul's bright fire dim.
In a life of sorrows,
It was either sink or swim.

On the shore she saw him,
A romeo, prince of the night.
Against all odds she reached out,
And turned from garnish light.

Then he pulled her from the tide,
Saved the dying maid.
She afraid to love him,
And yet by her side he stayed.

With blind faith she followed,
Into his shadow she fell.
Seduced by black and velvet,
Drunk of passion's spell.

A day spent long in bliss,
A moment meant so much.
And no more was this juliet,
Starved from love's sweet touch.

Then the darkness overcame,
In silence he left her there.
Never saw her tears fall,
Or heard her heartstrings tear.

Left alone in pain,
Once again she did bleed.
Shackled by other's power,
Longing to be freed.

Once again, yet time was short,
In twisted fate they met.
In shaded seconds spent together,
Yet no where did they get.

Again ripped apart by time,
And distance seals the fate.
Now all this juilet feels,
Is pain, despair, and hate.

She cries without a tear shed,
She lives without a soul.
She curses the one she loves now,
For everything he stole.

'I love you' she did long to hear,
But these were words he never said,
And now this juliet lays weeping,
And wishes she were dead.

By My Side

I want to be,
next to you.
I miss you when,
you're far away.
being with you,
makes my day.

I need you to be near,
when you're here,
I have no fear.
but when you leave,
when you're gone,
I'm forgotten.
abandoned.
left out,
in the cold.

I cry,
I die,
Inside,
it kills me.
I can't survive,
without you.
I can't deny,
I need you..

I need you to,
be by my side,
for me to hide,
sheltered behind.
this burning desire,
like gasoline,
on fire
ecstasy-
only higher,
but then I learn...
you're a liar

a cheat
a sneak
a crook
like, a coded book..

a story consisting,
of torn pages.
and forgotten,
lies.
i forgot to read,
between the
broken lines.

now I see,
how you're a fake.
it's like finally,
I've begun to wake.
from a clouded dream,
an incubus
of screams.
a nightmare,
of lies,
atleast,
that's what it seems.

now everything,
is back,
to the way
it used to be.
nothing is right,
there is no more light,
the world is
covered,
smoldered in night.
the eyes of the people,
are shadowed,
in fright.

I can't look you
in the eyes.
can't face,
your demonic lies.
I can never,
bear the sight.
because of you,
I will never
be alright.
your lies show the fact,
that you never feel contrite.
this spark of hatred
is what,
you ignite.

your lies,
they kill me,
burn me inside.
make me feel,
a desperate
need to hide.
can't you tell?
that it's you
I despise?

please leave me.
just forget me.
I desperately need,
for you to regret me.

just find,
someone else.
to torment.
to torture.
to curse.

and to make their lives
miserably worse

please find,
another girl,
to kill,
with your lies.
because no more tears,
will fall
from these eyes.
these cheeks,
shall be dry.
I will never again cry...

But I want,
you to know,
that I still
need you...
by my side.

Metamorphosis of a Breaking Heart
by SiLeNtLy ScReAmInG

Watch this heart shatter,
The broken pieces scatter,
From here, clear to there,
Watch my paper heart begin to tear.

Watch my happy smile falter,
My facial expressions slowly alter,
The glimmer in my eyes fade to grey,
Ignore the tears I quickly brush away.

Listen to the words I speak,
Hear only the answers that you seek,
Turn away, turn your back,
Don't look at me, my world is going black.

Just stay away, don't turn around,
Don't see me fall, don't watch me drown,
Looking back is a waste of time,
In the end you were never mine.

No excuses, no more wasted words,
Tell your I'm sorry's to the birds,
Each one is empty, cold, and useless,
Without action, without feeling, meaningless.

Keep them to yourself, don't give them to me,
All along I said I was blind, but now I finally see,
It was the perfect lie, never actually true,
Guess I shouldn't have believed, not in you.

Always expected the bomb to drop,
Anticipated the pain that'd make my heart stop,
Always said you'd leave me first,
Looks like worst did come to worst.

Lost my radiant sun, my forever light,
My world plunging deep into eternal night,
The tears, falling from my eyes like rain,
Keep your eyes averted, avoid seeing my pain.

Don't tell me that you still care, not anymore,
No more lies, I'm watching you break for the door,
Just turn and go away, have your happily ever after,
Let the wind blow me back wisps of care free laughter.

Just saying it for your benefit, don't worry I'll be alright,
Everyone tells me that I'm strong, that I have the will, the might,
Just have to make it through, time will help me heal,
But I'll tell you this too, you'll never understand the pain I feel.

(I'm not quite sure this fits for the contest..it's old, and I guess more dark than sad, but I figured it didn't hurt to submit it)

X..Waiting For You..x

She stands still as she gazes upon the stars as they shine and reflect her shadow of death, She crys she waits knowing she has been completely left. Ill wait for you forever ill never leave you she says with her hands on her face, She whines and falls on her knees with great grace.

Holding her hands together wishing but waiting for her dream to come true, a tear glitters and shines shes like a ghost you can walk right through.The wind whistles like a ghost train dropping of passengers who don't say a word, If only he gave that extra bit of care.

She closes her eyes imagining his shivering arms wrapped around her waste, And then he would smile at her and say ill keep you safe.As she lies on her back rain crashing down and running down her face, Trying to rub the image of him and his suit case.

Glancing at the waves that crash along the shaw, she wishes the time she had with him was a little more. Hold her heart with a upside down smile, She says i would do anything for you i would even run 1000 miles.

No More Truth

No more truth to be told tonight
As your eyes stare helplessly into mine
The day is over and the night is long
My fears and hopes are intertwined.

The love we once shared together
Has now pushed us too far apart
The beginning of the end is upon us now
Loneliness and dismay have flooded my heart.

I can no longer tell you the truth
For it is too hard to speak the words aloud
I must retract the love I swore to you
And break the promises that I vowed.

As our love dissolves tonight
I still yearn to feel your touch
But the reason I cannot continue on
Is that I love you much to much.

I cannot pretend that I no longer care
I have to be honest with my soul
I let body get wrapped up in love
And let my heart take control.

Maybe I just needed the thought
That someone else could care
I was weak and I was vulnerable
And suddenly, you were there.

I let you in without a thought
And you quickly took full control
Leaving behind my wants and my desires
Crushing the pride of my soul.

Knowing that you are (still) a good person
I was afraid to live without you
Knowing you were not my perfect match
I allowed my love to accrue.

But staring into your eyes
I know that your heart is pure
I hope you find your true soul mate
Or whatever it is you are searching for.

I cannot tell you any lies
But the truth is too hard to say
I cannot share the feelings I have
Which is why we must part separate ways.

Apart we can find the peace
That we searched for during our endeavor
All I wish for from this day forward
Is that you find happiness and love forever.

Together we were wrong
Individually we are right
We are better off apart my love
But No more truth will be said tonight.

Nostalgiaby Rhend

I write this poem by candlelight,

staring outside at the moon so bright.

I rocked in silence & think about you

thinking back the days we had been through;

those times we walk with lot of smiles,

happiness fraught our feelings inside.

my mind drifts, As i remember you

alone i cherished, those fragments of you

i missed the warmth of your embrace

& your tender lips that i completely crave.

I even still remember your Sweet smelling hair

every time you lean closely your head upon my chest.

only poem is all i need to fully express

what i felt for you that i couldn't tame.

These memories that all planted here on my brain

it can never take away until the rest of my days.

for me you are the loveliest girl i ever met

of course it made me, a proud man in the end.

someday, i know we'll see each other again

somewhere in the land where dreams can't be fade

i surely come, wait for me there

i weary this world of melancholy reign;

goodbye for now,oh my precious angel

your memories will be my treasure forever.

Moonlit Shadows

Let your love belong to me
Lay with me for all eternity
Share with me your hopes and fears
Hold my hand as we travel through the years

Fear not what the future holds
I will be with you as it unfolds
Do not worry about the present or the past
For our love is strong; our love is vast

Wrap yourself in the love we share
Love so strong, none other could compare
Surrender your mind and body to me
As we express our love physically

As the sun continues to disappear from the skyline
Secretly giving access for the moon to shine
Laying here after making love
Gazing at the stars above

Nothing could match the emotions we express
Breaking from a daily life of stress
Making time away from a world of routine
Perfecting a marriage of such pristine

Kissing, caressing, and making love to you
Is the only thing I ever want to do
As long as I love you and you love me
We walk hand and hand for all eternity

Drink the undertow

The ring and the finger,
that were supposed to be mine-
tossed from the bridge to the river,
in a haste-full fragment of time.

as the water spoke your name,
and i wish i'd never come this way.

twenty-three hours passed and so i ran,
the wind shifted, blowing leaves across my path.
and so the bridge jumpin' retrieval began,
diving head first, any fear of injury has passed.

i'm committed to the vicious mission now,
the murky water impedes and hinders progress.
flailing blindly, fully sinking to the bottom,
fingers and hands scratching the dirt for the loss.
the lung pressure squeezes hard-
head feels like an unburst balloon-
disoriented, just don't know-
which way is up or down-

pulling on my 100lb. clothes,
i suspect is the undertow.
i am responsible-
it is inevitable-

i can't hold this breath too much longer,
i'll have to succumb to the back flow soon.

so deep in my mind-
i visualize-
the ringed finger-
i left behind-
close my eyes-
count to five-
and swallow-

I wrote this poem for a boy i truely fell in love with but i never could tell him but sadly I moved away from him he was truely my best friend...

(For now its Dust in the Wind)

I swallow a gulp of air,
I feel like im dying,
For you are not here,

You stole my heart,
It was apon your hand,
Although I didn't know if you knew,

I felt like I was lost,
I felt as though I was confused,
I felt like this was a script and I were to follow through,

At the end the curtin's closed,
And my heart,
And my soul,
Were left in the cold,

Words I needed to say,
I just could let them out,
Anytime,
Anyday,

I followed you,
I wanted you to know,
Know what I held within,
But, now its dust in the wind...

Big Girls Dont Cry

Another morning yet another wasted soul
Its tired 4am floating home out of control,
Blaring at the February sky, I wonder why
Every1 is another shade of you, I can't deny.

Listening to our song are my cheeks wet?
Embracing myself as I light up a cigarette,
Thoughts of you lingers, don't you know?
I wouldn't die just thinking of you.

You wanted someone I could never be,
And it cuts so deep inside of me.
You were too weak to face your fears
You're only good at fighting back tears.

I hate you; however I hope & you should know,
I have not blinked, so these tears won't show.
Its time to be a big girl and big girls don't cry
So without a tear, here's my sweetest goodbye.

Love's What We Became (Song)
by Italian Stallion

Lizzy, Lizzy

Where have you gone, I really miss you.
Wish you were here with me.
Soft gentle smiles never left me,
Words can't describe this feeling.

Dreams I once dreamt of an angel,
Beautiful as one' can name.
Her soft tender voice whispered,
"Love's what we became."

Here in the dark I sit and ponder,
Why do I still adore you?
Somehow I can't find an answer,
Yet it's you I still love true.

Elisabetta, you I dreamt,
An angel sent down to me.
Elisabetta, you I loved,
Always; forever.

Angel of love and beauty, hold me close;
Grant to me my true wish.

Would you set me free?

This angel of love is dear to my heart,
I'm sure she would agree.

I wish this dream was real.

My nose is cold,

My heart pumps fast,

For Elisabetta.

Waking up, tears flow free,

With dreams at end.

*Inspired by the song, "Angel Of Music" from The Phantom of the Opera.*

Christmas In Heaven
by Italian Stallion

Through out the years
You've always cared
Brought family together
And never compared

Took people in
With open arms
Cared for them
As if they were yours

You were always smiling
Didn't matter what happened
You always warmed the room
With your happy smile

On this given Christmas day
Tears start to roll
As we say good-bye
To the one we loved

But, your love for all
Will never be forgotten
You will always be with us
In our souls and in our hearts

May you rise up
To the heavens above
Give your love
And watch down on all
