* EDITED:

Dead Man Walking

The moment I was born,
I knew I'd end up being
a shameful disgrace.
It's just that, maybe,
the doctor forgot
to slap my ass, or maybe
I find it hard to cope with
happiness.

And it just happened
that everybody says
I'm a total freak.
But at least, I can lick
my elbow and speak
with my own shadow
unlike ordinary people.

People like me
who lost their presence
and keep on searching for
a true love,
unlike the one they lost.

It's just that nobody knows
how it feels..

I wish you could know
how it's pleasurable to be a
dead man walking...

Need at least 2 more people to enter please...

Im in too

I tried to make this poem a mix of nature and love...

You make me feel
Light as a feather
floating on water
in a swift graceful melody.

You make me feel
like nothing else matters
like the world is brighter then it used to be.

You make me feel
like I'm flying high
your the wings that rise me above
all the pain and miseries.

You make me feel
like a soft breeze blowing
waltzing through life in a carefree motion
smiling replacing frowns, my new focus.

You make me feel
delicate like thousands of rose petals
soft and fragile, precious, full of beauty and easily heart broken
glistening brightly with words softly spoken.

You make me feel
like I'm swimming in a slow flowing stream
floating on the surface living beautiful dreams
forgetting all the sadness and darkest of themes.

Your love for me
feels like the smell of jasmine
through a spring time breeze
carrying me softly, I just wish time could freeze.

Your love for me
brightens my life like stars
winking and shining down from the heavens above.
I really feel like i'm a special person and thank you so deeply for your precious happiness and love.

Haha you got me....

I am in :)

I think you have 5 people now..

I'm in : here is my poem.

Love at first sight and how deadly it was.

There was a look of perfect contentment on his face.

The pleasurable experience from his memory could never be erase.

His happiness was all that matter till his very end.

Neither human or nature could stop him from seeing her once again.

The grace and the beauty that that woman possess mesmerize him right away.

Her looks were so deadly and radiant that he fell in love with her.

A few moments of contemplating that astonishing silhouette were enough for him to take his last breath.

In an instance, his love for her grew to be too immense and too much for his heart to ever take.

Now this man rest in peace thanks to the amazing girl that made his heart to skip a beat.

Delivering Fruits of Love.

He is peaceful with her heart-
believing without exception
that her pursuit will last....
and she won't ebb
towards self- harm
and recession,
by overseeing beauty.

Every limited morning,
she wakes up to the sun
enclosing her in grace....
while his arms hold it up
and let all that is deadly
escape her fragile
speculating.

When seasons accelerate,
he'll be there to slow down time...
for though there are memories-
flight of moments
that a heart cannot carry forever,
love seeks no farewell
and will always be
a cascade of light.

I fell in love
with the right guy.
He has a sweet 
but deadly smile that makes me want to Melt right in his arms.

His nature is imcomparable,
His beauty is in his soul.
His grace lies on his spirit 
And his contentment on everything else he does.

So pleasurable
are the times we spend together,
I treasure them 
as if they were my last.

I'll keep on cherishing my relationship,
And loving him at all times
Because  he is my happiness 
And more importantly, because I will love him no matter what.

Seeds

outside my kitchen window
lies a patch of dirt
crisscrossed with weeds
that struggle this way and that
deadly little battles for space
covering every last inch of ground
multi coloured
in every shade
some autumn yellow
others hazel as bark
on a hot day their seed heads would pop, pop
flinging seeds
to scatter like small grains of rice
on the sunbaked ground.
upon a weed crawled a caterpillar
winding its way Lazily up the stem
a chugging, slugging, green locomotive
that would stop and chew on the succulent tips
around, the air sparkled,
full of pollen
insects and sounds,
alive with nature
buzzing and popping
and rustling
with particles that glimmered in the sunlight

It's almost too sad to turn it into a veggie patch once more..

2 more days guys. >_<

In Muir Woods: no greater love

Twin swirls of silver beauty
flash pleasurably in the pool below;
redwoods taller than buildings
open a soaring cylinder of sunlight
dappling the submerged salmon.

Not bears, nor humans nor cataracts
kept them from stranger's embrace
at this arboreal grotto altar
fulfilling ancient obligation
to the species, to perish contented.

At the natural end of their journeys,
their lives, their share in the cycle,
spawning hope for new life
as they spiral around each other
in graceful yin and yang.

She spews eggs, he yields milt
and within hours they will each
lie gasping for the last dregs
of lives fulfilled by sacrifice,
culminated in deadly happiness.

Now their tender bodies shall decay,
attract water bugs to lay eggs
which will hatch in turn
when the salmon brood emerges,
providing a crucial first meal and
the final farewell from their parents.

Here's mine - sorry for the delay

Rhapsody

Dew
pristine,
embracing
emerald blades,
waving across the
wild meadows, zephyr
shower happiness among
ambling cattle with tiny bells,
tinkling in delightful rhapsody
of life, enjoying beauty, till it lasts.
