    Here is my poem:

    Mint Flavoured (sijo)
    Your love lies melted in sticky puddles, scattered on my flesh
    unable to wash away it stays, ingrained in my skin
    but in time it shall be replaced, by a better flavour

    **Sijo-Sijo is a poetry type consisting of 3 lines. Each line contains 14-16 syllables each.
    A pause breaks each line in the middle. The last half of the final line is usually shorter than the rest, and contains no fewer than 5 syllables. The first line introduces a problem, the second develops it, and the third is a resolution. **

    Songs to sing for you~~

    He hid in the music room on Tuesdays
    Because that's the only place
    That you can find quiet here
    He sang with a broken voice
    To a piano out of key
    The notes that he made
    Lived, no, they breathed

    The piano was ancient and warn
    Some keys did not make a sound
    His hands twisted and tumbled
    To the thoughts of his love
    It was more than music
    It was more than sound

    You could hear the hammers and strings crash together
    But the tears in his eyes made it right
    No matter how out of key
    His faulting voice sang
    Nobody could take him our of sight

    The violins in the back ground
    But there wasn't anyone there
    Yet the sweet taste of music
    That slipped down his tongue
    Was enough to sound the halls of the school

    With three chords in the finish
    He hung his head low
    The music he played
    Will never get through
    3000 miles away
    He still has songs to sing for you

    Jingle, jangle broken hearts

    Jingle, Jangle pieces of my heart hit my chest as I walk by you. You smile and I Just walk past. I hate how you act like your my friend. Jingle, Jangle the pieces hit so hard I can't breath. I sit and think of you and i hate my self because i liked you in the past. Can you ever just stop trying to be my friend. I don't want to be yours because it hurts me to be with you. Jingle, Jangle this heart will heel and i will be alb to live life to the fullness. Because you keep bring me down ever time. Jingle, Jangle My broken heart hits me and I want to died because you have broken my heart. I hate everything about you and I hate seeing you around school. I want to go to the other side of the world and live there so I don't have to see you. Jingle, Jangle Pieces of my heart hit me like glass hitting my heart. I hate how I want to be with you, I hate my self because of you. Jingle, Jangle broken hearts are crying for love.

  • Teria

    I'm not sure of the due date yet. I figured that I'd wait and see how many reserves the titles got and how quickly they were reserved to find out. I'll let you know within a week or so.

    Songs To Sing For You

    Part One- Song of Ambiguity

    The tongues, pulled out of the sheaths
    were two-edged; siamese twins-
    avidity and lust, sew vermillion storms
    into the patchwork of dreams.

    Equalizing silence and memories,
    maybe, this time, we'll find our way
    on the crossroads of ambiguity,
    between the reincarnated thoughts.

    Back then, I lulled myself
    within sugary nightmares.

    Part Two- Song of Silence

    Frigidity surgically removes the past,
    allowing every pore to breathe,
    for a few seconds, before the membranes crash
    and merge with caramel sherbet within the veins.

    Equalizing oblivion and death,
    tonight, I'll crawl with your recollections,
    spiting out the poisons
    of these carcinogenic days.

    Within bruised intestine of silence,
    the rain falls backwards.

    Part Three- Song of Oblivion

    With a single kiss,
    lend me your eyes
    and kill the affliction.

    Mint Flavored

    So, write me a song if you dare,
    I want it mint flavored, innovative;
    but you're unable, aren't you?

    Moistened creations lurk under the skin,
    while memories reborn with the chisels...
    ... my days are dying on your lips.

    And, write me a song if you find the words,
    mint flavored, dazzling as the sapphires
    which would dance tango across the paper.

    Monotony mutates before pallid irises;
    the core of my world is icebound...
    ... forevermore.

    EDIT:

    Songs To Sing For You

    You, my love, are an array of serenades,
    Each floating gracefully into the next.
    Words of passion strung high to a tune
    Escape from your feather soft lips.

    I am still in debt to your lustrous voice.
    Your bass thunder to my soprano birdsong
    In harmony, like the sun and sky:
    Peaceful, yet ever-owing.

    There are infinite songs to sing for you,
    About every aspect of our entwined souls.
    I will still be singing next to your grave,
    To finish the honour of singing for you.

    Chords thrum from deep inside,
    A chorus of angels erupts from your mouth.
    Once again, I have been swept away
    On your beautiful lyrics.

    Xx Mint Flavoured Kiss xX

    Ever since you were taken, my thoughts have run wild
    Never before felt like such a lost child
    Always knew what to say to make me feel bliss
    So i'll write down and tell you all i'm going to miss

    I'll miss the way you always made me feel safe
    Cuddling me close, calling me your "wee waif"
    You'd flash me a smile and tickle my nose
    Giving me one hell of a happiness dose!

    I'm going to miss our extremely weird chats
    And laughing at you and all your silly hats
    You always insisted on wearing them out
    Your self confidence was never in doubt

    My darling, i miss all the jokes that we shared
    How no matter what, you would always be there
    We've been through our bad times, we've laughed and we've cried
    But now i'm alone, half of my hearts died

    I'll miss the nights when we've cuddled together
    You lay on my pillow, sprigs of lucky heather
    There's nothing lucky about the fact the you're gone
    I've lost my soul and don't know how to go on

    I'm going to miss so many things about you
    You always knew what to say, what to do
    But out of all of the things that i'm going to miss
    It will always be you and your mint flavoured kiss
