Contest

It's always interesting to see how people react so diversly to a common thought. Like, when everyone looks at one particular painting, or hear one particular song, all those who looked or listened had different reactions. So, I want anyone who would like to participate to write any style of poem, titled "When the Light Shone Through". The deadline is 05-26-2012, next Saturday. The winning poem will be posted the following Sunday. Good luck!

All right, so the title is " when the light shone through"

I will give it a try and see with what I can come up with.

I really like this title, I shall try. <3

Cool heading

Here is my attempt:

When The Light Shone Through

Not one single petal
stands between you and I-
You are free
Go on with your life
No further questions will I ask

The rose we once planted
has withered with time
Its not surprising though,
We saw it coming;
No one lives for eternity
if has been thirsty for too long

And I-
Ever since we met,
I've been thirsty for love

But you-
You only saw in me a good soil
to germinate your seeds

But darling let me tell you
You don't know anything about nature nor me

A plant needs more than a good soil to live
It needs the sun and water to feed
It needs attention and time to exceed

And I-
Just like a flower
I needed your warm
I needed your time
Some tears of joy
But most importantly
I needed...
I needed your love

But you-
You thought that sadness
was enough to satiate my need for water
You thought that spreading your seeds
was better than to love

But you were wrong
God and I know you were wrong

Look at the end product of our love
Look at our rose
It withered with time
No one single petal stands alive
for I wished upon them too many times
And look at it now
It's better to say good bye

But if you ever felt something for me
Be thankful that I am no rose
Be thankful that I'm a human
that has seen the light of hope
and I can live,
I can live,
yes, be thankful
that I can live without our rose.

Here is my try!

When the Light Shone Through

When the light shone through
I realized I truly did love you,
And when the light shone through;
My sadness was gone; you took away my blues.

When the light shone through I was dried from all my tears,
I wanted to grasp such a feeling and keep it for many years.
And when the light shone through,
Like a flower covered in dew,
A single water droplet hanging off a green leaf,
I had a single emotion that was picking me up when I was in so much defeat.
One that watered my roots but wouldn't drown me with the sea.

When the light shone through,
I was scared that you would leave,
I couldn't imagine what would happen if you weren't with me.
And when the light shone through a smile came upon my face,
It shines on both of us; love and grace we exchange.

When the light shone through
see the bright skies?
She previously pickled for innermost peace
well everyone now is trying to give her childhood forgotten kisses
mother nature is beautiful "no i think thrice".

object float deep unforgotten through space and time
the crack in the log widdens as it dries
flowers exposing their smelling petals to sunlight
and the young insects away from their homes to take their first spring flight
look! There are some meladious flapping wings in piles
see the bright skies?.

They said they knew what life means
they said she is full of grease
until she sent them some upgraded bliss
no more war ,though
she previously pickled for innermost peace.

two babies to feed
hunger observed taking a feast
then suddenly her fairy god parents visits
her parent suddenly turn witnesses
well everyone now is trying to give her childhood forgotten kisses

when the light shone through
newton discovery in motion and spectrum
has taught me life is sweet and comes in pair too
there is good and sometimes evil
one should not be quick to action
for to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
when the light shone through
the bible written by great philosophers and scholers
still one of the greatest gift to humans
changes millions everyday to new hearts.
When the light shone through
celebrated the day berner created the web
it was a brilliant idea still used by all today
a whole new world to ones convenience.
All these geniuses mentioned
never gave away challenges and tasks
never forgot the reason for existence
now all humans see their works and smile
hardwork, challenges and solution finally conquered
mother nature is beautiful "no i think thrice"

A CASCADE POETIC FORM I TOOK

Where do we post it?

Either here or on your profile. If you post your entry on your profile, remember to title it "When the Light Shone Through".

When The Light Shone Through

I used to take ambiguity
out of my darkest closet
and dress myself
with its finely braided
disguises, that stole
the softest part of me.
But when your love
became clear to my
wasted eyes- I saw
that there were holes
in my tight lies.

What if I awake
and my feet touch
sunshine
instead of falling through
wooden dreams.

And you found
your way through;
illuminating the blackest
bits of skin
and making my heart
glow like it always did
before reality
plagued my soul.

I like your's :)

^ thank you :]
you should enter!

Here it goes!

Clouded by emotion,
blinded by her mind.
Searching for an answer,
she knew she couldn't find.

The fog that blocks our vision,
She could not escape.
Full of indecision.
Her veiw changing shape.

Losing focus in his presence,
and control by his side.
She can't seem to stop it.
It's all a downhill slide.

One day he says ' I love you'.
The words she wants to hear.
Thats when the light shone through,
and her emotions became clear.

Hope you like it...Good title by the way!
