I want to thank everyone who participated in this challenge and those who attempted to participate as well. I received three poems in total. I was looking for a story poem, but mainly for an idea that can clearly be interpreted in two ways, but also that it can be said to someone without hurting their feelings.
I want to ask everyone reading this thread to be a judge and pick the one you think did the best job. If you can kindly PM with your vote, it will be greatly appreciated. The voting period will be Today and tomorrow. Thank you.
Results will be posted Monday.
Title: The Twin Shades
In the Everglade forest, shrouded in the night,
deep beyond the veil, far beyond the blight,
lived twin elven sisters - both of a wonderful sight;
Mistresses of the moon, powerful in dark and light.
Since their birth, they were proven fighters;
One much more stronger, one with more manners.
A bond, beyond mortal bounds or banners,
their sparks made increasingly heavy desires.
Despite their bond, beyond mortal measures,
with all their deeply arousing pleasures,
the elder sister persisted, with her victorious endeavors,
overlapping a shadow, covering all inferiors.
This shadow grew, alarming the younger;
she wished to tell her of the growing monster,
but she knew, how intensely this would hurt her:
"Goddess, aide me!", she called out for her sister.
But, she did nothing, so shadow had covered the land.
She could do nothing - the story became bland,
A situation that simply, came out of hand,
She could do nothing, for she'd sink deeper in the sand.

Title: A Moment Away
She asked me
I want to be all the time with you
not even a moment away.
I responded:
the only way to be all the time with me
is by staying away
for then
all that I can think of
is nothing
but you
not even
a moment away.

Title: Drama Queen
It seems it has been ages
since she was on stage,
as we review the pages
of a distant dramatic age.
Stories we have written
about the time we shared.
Many of those smitten,
we're sure, now are scared.
Even her friends called her a Queen
of restless turmoil and drama.
Even when she stayed clean
in a test like that of the life of Rama.
Comedy & tragedy have a common denominator
with loose laughter and many a tear,
as a fraction has a nominator
to be a half is our greatest fear !
