HG - Final Round (POEMS)

The final battle of the Hunger Game was secretly declared underground where no cameras can reach. And some news were leaked to us by robotic insects that a contestant is finally dead. Who is SHE?

And who will come out of this abyss ALIVE, BREATHING, and with a SMIRK that says: I AM THE SURVIVOR!?

Stay tuned.

Here are the messages taken from our robotic insects:

-------------------------------------------------------

#1 (Borealis)

During my return I reminisced
about planting Jasmines or roses
into dreams, blooming together.

Various sallow nightfalls ago
the peaky swollen moon set
in your mouth's easeful waters
amidst dandling stars, but you
just blew wistful Adieus. Musing
about forlorn hopes - I left
with a whiff of You.

The wind leant on my back
while a maiden succumbed
my corvine eyes. I couldn't help,
but to detonate her hourglass -
pounced on diminished living will.
I mashed up obscurity, sparked it
and died the sky with more yang.

After desperately trying to wash
my hands of it, I confessed to
my innocence meeting its maker.
Thitherto the wind gave up its rest
and developed a hurricane, that
embraced me and kept me closest
to heart. Nature did not destroy me,
but was on my side.

Now it is time to go home -
but even though I lost my humanity
(which is the only thing persons have)
by fighting those, that are inhumane,
I will now return to you. Keep in mind,
that periods adumbrate ends, but mine
is yet to come -

so is ours.

#2 (Playing with Fire)

I licked my chapped lips, an attempt to moisturize,
while murky thoughts crept into my mind.
I heard the sound of my heartbeats grow louder
as we each isolated ourselves in the intense hunt.

There were nights when I slept with both eyes open
because fear of death had taken its toll on me.
I was hallucinating that my purple bruises spread
around my body while my wounds remain untouched.

I remember when nostalgia crawled up to me at dusk,
and my memories pulled the emotional strings of my heart.
I was dreaming of the future to escape the homesickness,
a future that didn't involve the suffering and inequality I live in.

I longed to dance in a customized fish-cut dress
with protective flames illuminating my essence
but I settled for a more practical and comfortable outfit
to help me climb the tree of life and protect me from harm.

Somehow I smelled your bitter lips from thirty feet away;
I followed you, and searched for a way to mend my loneliness.
It was just you and me... and when our shadows intertwined,
I felt closer to home, closer to where we yearned to be.

We controlled our own weapons yet we couldn't shield
Cupid from shooting our hearts with his own bow and arrow.
My mission involved seeking shelter, while hunting to survive,
but your presence altered my mission - for You are now my priority.

We fought a battle of love, hate, deception, and vengeance,
where our previous friends became our shrewd enemies.
Yet somehow - you remained bonded by my side
with protective wings stronger than a Mockingjay's.

I risked my entire existence for you - even during your
displays of hubris (I knew it would be your downfall).
And now - as I stand on my pedestal with my crooked crown,
I wonder...

Would you do the same for me?

This round also, a new judge is assisting!

Results will hopefully be posted today! :)

What's up with you and your addiction to multiple judges? :P I do get that it might make the whole decision more "balanced" and not based on two people, but still. :P Usually there is a set number of judges.. not that I am complaining, just wanted to point it out. x)
