OKay I will do this :D

I'm also gonna try this. : D

I'll try it to.

Just A Puddle [Nothing More]

Sparkles made of frost
Linger..
On once warm lips.

Melt me down.
I want to be your ocean.

Swim through me.
Let me liquefy your dreams.
Make the heavens
Scream.

Drip
.
.
Drip
.
.
Go the tears.
Never again.
Oh, never again.

I wanted to be your ocean,
But I'm just the puddle you stepped in.

That blew me away ;)

Hoping for more like is. Come on blow me away!

I will for sure do this! This contest is so unique, and I never thought about this, thanks so much!

God bless you!

Thanks a ton.

The ashes are beautiful,
As the heat remains
Of that fire that burned
This body away.

The ashes, they have stained
The white cloth I wear,
Forever reminding me
Of memories still clear.

The ashes, I watch
As the smoke fills my lungs,
Enveloping me with peace
That I'm sure is to come

To the soul of these ashes,
That peace will return
Of their time on this Earth
In which I hope I'm remembered.

The ashes, they cool,
As I continue to stare
At what is left of that body
How quickly destroyed.

These ashes tattooed
To the back of my eyelids,
As the images unfold
Of eldest son setting flame.

The ashes remind me
Of tradition never lost,
As I stare blankly
Upon this barren land.

Awing are these ashes,
As their spirit fills up
This land so bare;
Here, I am emotionless.

The ashes are beautiful
Mirroring the very soul
Of that fire that burned
This body away.

I'll give it a go if that is okay.

How about

Flames of beauty?

Liked your poem alot :)

This is not one of my bests, but I wanna say thanks.
I've been trying to write something for 3 weeks now about this. (:

--Twenty-one.

Twenty-one balloons; blew with the breeze
begging for freedom to put them at ease.
Oh how ironic.

Two feet in the mud, I can't help but laugh--
Only you could of planned it this well.
Your final prank before you fell.

This is the part where the memories swim in
breaking down barriers and mental strength.

Who was I before you?

Time Warp. 5 years previous. Heart full of hope.
Hope of a future. I guess the futures over hyped.

Two feet in the mud, I can't help but laugh--
Only you could of planned it this well.
Proof you've broken the shell.

Twenty-one balloons; blew with the breeze
begging for freedom to put them at ease.
So, so ironic.

A close friend of mine recently committed suicide 21 days before his 21st birthday. And this is the first I've been able to write about it. If you don't understand any part just message me (:

The Wind(Haiku)

Silent Whisperings,
Not seen but felt all throughout,
The whole world tonight.

More poems please :)

FIRE
by Spirit

A flash
burning, & breathing
different from streaks in sky
this is strange
it does not disappear easily

bright
warm and peaceful
it does not light up whole land
blackens earth
it is warmer the closer i get

gone
strange and wonderful
it has ceased to flicker in the night
yet now
i still feel it when he is near

F
I
R
E

yes i remember now
a great fire when i look at him
i feel strange, small
i want to hide inside myself

fire
it is not gone
even though it burned out
i can still feel it inside myself
but then
not all fire is created through sticks

all it takes is a spark

:) Nice

One more day...
