Ode, to Beauty, in all of its splendor.
I'm marveled, by your iridescent hues.
To you, Beauty, I wholly, surrender.
Fair enchantress, I am, in awe of you.
Ode, to Beauty, its most sweet serenity,
Such heaven is to basks, in your rapture.
Divine thing, of such great amenity,
By you, my heart is, totally, captured.
Ode, to Beauty, fair maiden that I love,
Upon me, such wonder, you do bestow.
Beauty oh Beauty, my dearest beloved,
Nothing else does stir me, enthralls me, so.
Enamored, I am, by your pleasing lure.
Ode, to Beauty, might it, always, endure...

Story About A Girl

Have you ever seen,
A broken smile,
Have you ever seen,
Her try the extra mile?
Have you ever noticed,
How her makeup runs,
Have you ever noticed,
The look in her eyes that says 'I'm done'?
And have you ever tried to help,
Her lone and broken hert,
And have you ever tried to help,
Get her to the start?

This story is about a girl,
So lost and all alone,
The story about a girl,
Who can't find her way home.
And have you ever seen,
Her cut and break,
And have you ever seen,
How much her heart can take?

Now see her there,
Lost and alone,
Now see her there,
With no way home.
She tries to live,
But can't find her way,
She tried to live,
Everyday.

Do you realize,
How broken she feels?
Do you realize,
How she kneels?
She can't carry her load,
She's too fragile and small,
She can't carry her load,
She's begun to stagger and fall.
But did you ever try to help,
Her stand up on her own?
Did you ever try to help,
Her find her way home?
And have you ever realized,
She always says she's fine,
Have you ever realized,
How she's balancing a line?

Now watch her silently,
As she staggers and falls,
Now watch her silently,
As she crawls.

Not that many went for this contest..:(
