Hey, you said there's no line limit, so I'm hoping this isn't too long - I know most people only like about 16-20 lines. But I really think this is one of my better dark/love poems, so here it is. Thanks for holding the competition :)

Dark Revenge

From the creases of my skin,
Shines my demon trapped within.
It carries sorrow, heartbreak, laughter.
It carries most my mortal sin.

He broke his heart along with mine,
He stole my faith, my hope, my mind,
I needed someone who could wait for me,
And his lack of strength had crossed the line.

In anger I searched for final revenge,
But never had I wished for a life to end.
I picked up that gun, just to scare him a bit,
Then deeper into his chest the bullet descends.

He now lies alone on the floor,
Blood spilling from his core.
My soul wants to follow his,
But I don't deserve heaven anymore.

My hands are cold, my eyes just the same,
As I hold his smile in a picture frame.
I look at what lies infront of me now,
The smile he had is left crippled and lame.

The feeling of death mists in the air,
I have taken a life for reasons unfair.
Holding the gun with one bullet left,
Taking my life is my personal dare.

I repaid my debt with my own flesh and bone,
And still I linger with earth as my home.
My demon will never let me free
Because of the innocent life I stole.

Dark to me Now

No more do the stars brightly glimmer
Happiness in my life I will no more allow
No more do streams under moonlight glitter
No more to me does the wide sea shimmer
To me the sun itself is dimmer
For all is dark to me now

Since the day the life flew out of thee
Only weeks after we had made our vow
All thoughts of life deserted me
Life itself lost all meaning to me
The joys in this world I no longer can see
For all is dark to me now

Each day as I sorrowfully waken
Wishing I was with you somehow
For by God you have been taken
I am left desolate, alone and forsaken
My faith has been so surely shaken
For all is dark to me now

Now my body lies broken
Forever is it dark for me now
For my heart it has been broken
For my soul it has been broken
So desperate steps I have taken
With you forever I will be now

EDIT: sorry it hought it could be either love or dark.... umm.. yea..nvm...

as i recall your name.
by:yuniardi

A beautifull place in Osaka
Was surrounded by sorrow
either bless or curse
this bind two young lovers

the sun was setting off
the day grew darker
the school principal has juz passed away
weep and cry , as a memoirs of her

in front of the funeral
a girl stood still
letting out a speech
for her beloved principal

bringing up a few words
the sky started to drizzle
struggling towards her feeling
full of care , love , and innocence

a student stole a glance
looked deeply into the affectionate girl
love at the first sight
was how the heaven designed

time were lapsing
since that damning day
love grew stronger and stronger
within the men's heart

but he always simply walk away
everytime they would met
the girl was clever and popular
in fact he was nothing, juz an ordinary people

one day the girl was going home
he was sitting alone
his eyes stuck on her
without realising that he was eating

she looked and laugh
becos of his mouth full of noodle bread
she came towards him
what is ur name..?

saku, replied the guy
isn't it beautifull..?
my name is aki
sakuaki, the flower season, she smiled gently

that was how thy get to know each other
bond by their name
through a recorder, they agreed to share their thoughts and feeling
every breath and life.. each and every day

sakura season were coming
thought of a surprise , he asked her for a stroll
knowing it was her birthday
he gave a wonderful present

she was very happy
but her eyes grew misty..
without another word
she fell relentlesly

panic and desperate he brought her to hospital
as she awake she said she was okay
no need to worry, i will be ok, saku
again smile drawn on her face..

on one sunny day
she ask him to come over
on the stage, he plae song for him with an old school piano
closing eyes he listen...

the melodies of sadness
breaking down the silent noon
as she finished, she walk and embrace him
with wattery eyes, she said i got cancer

he was stranded, his heart turn into pieces.
she was his life and his everything..
will love die too when someone die..?
she sofly ask, i love you..

he couldn't take it anymore
he thought they would be togerther for 100, 1000 years
juz wanna be wif her, sharing unforgotalble moment
all their colourfull life drawn back on his mind

that was the last day they met...
the girl was on intensive treatment later on
she said she will fight on with her life
she juz wanna be with him, forever and ever

the recorder, was how they communicate each other
during this tought time
it was full of sad and happy moment
pure love and faith..

until he got the last cassette from aki
he felt he was at the end of the world, because he realise how much he love her..
more than everything
even more than of his live

as he listen to the cassette
his tears rolling down on his cheek
drawn her face and loneliness,
her struggle to life

27 November 1985, it was raining outside
i couldn't bring myself to sleep
a'm afraid of tomorrow
that i won't be here anymore

all these days i've been dreaming of your face saku
as i recall ur name
i saw your mouth full of noodle bread
and u swallowed it earnestly

i dunno how many times
i keep chanting your name
wishing you to be here
right beside my arm

you know it was wonderfull and lovely
every single hour and day with you
and when you giv me a present on that sakura season
i was very contended, in fact you are the biggest present in my life

i love you so much
since the time we met,
you erase my pain and sadness
nothing more in my head
just a happy family

now tears welling up in my eyes
i dunno why
not because of this pain
mybe because i love you so much

if i happen to sleep tonight
please do not be upset
i juz can make it this far
please live your life and go on...

thanks for your time and your love
they were precious
just like you..............................
a miracle of my life

misery + ecstasy:

"my ecstasy is my misery,"

and she swallowed the pill,
counting the minutes that
separated their difference:

misery and ecstasy, walking
hand-in-hand through the rut
in the valley of denial, drowning
so deep in the waves of blurred
stimulation; hopeless, her nerves
crack,
rushing past the speed of pain,
only to slide through her fingertips
back onto another pill that,
yet again,

she holds onto like a sleepless lover
in the glow of capsules and a blacklit
agony; her heart beats erratically-
a prisoner waiting to break free
from its cage, and feel life, smoothly
coursing through her veins, yet-

her pulse spikes and eyes roll back
to a place of no thought; no judgment
to measure just what she's living for,
looking for, or why - a fairytale land
of neon greens and electric
emotion
a place where she's alone
just enough to be comfortable
in a room full of dead light and
decaying relationships;
she turns her back, knowing
she'll be stabbed, bound, tied and
gagged.

but this way,
no one will notice her eyes
rolling
back, moving
to the violent heartbeat-
stifling her mumbled pleas
of lonely syllables
not a soul will hear -

"please,
just bring me back"

My poem is called "My Fault" its a kyrielle sonnet....

You see perfection in all my flaws
Yet you dont see, you are the cause
Trying to hide them is like an addiction
I bear the pain of my own Affliction

You think my natural beauty is hidden,
To bring out the truth, & whats real ...forbidden
For me, its hard, a contradiction,
I bear the pain of my own affliction

You cant see something Ive masked so well
So many dark secrets, which Ill never tell.
Anything but Perfection, is my depiction
I bear the pain of my own affliction

You see perfection in all my flaws
I bear the pain of my own affliction

Sorry Wasn't Good Enough

He told her he was sorry,
said he'd never do it again.
But he'd broken her heart so many times.
How could she ever forgive him?

She wanted to believe in him,
wanted to believe that he could change.
Things had been perfect once,
but life would never again be the same.

Her heart wanted to let him back in.
Oh, how she missed his gentle touch!
But no, she couldn't give in to him.
Sorry simply wasn't good enough.

So all the while he pleaded with her,
she thought of his picture with all the darts.
Thinking that he would never hurt her again,
she plunged a dagger into his heart.

Breaking Up
by Tabitha

The night was weary, the rain came down,
lets go for a walk he said with a frown.
the whole night through, he had nothing to say, as if there were something to stand in the way.
suddenly he said it with a blur, my parents said break up with her.
I'm sorry he said, i cant pretend, my parents said our love must end.
the tears began to roll down his face and then he stopped and took her into his embrace.
she took his ring and wrote something down. thats when she noticed his face was a frown.
she opened her purse and dropped it inside, she said nothing else just sat there and cried.
all of a sudden the car wouldn't start
she looked at him saying you've broken my heart.
he opened the his window and looked passed the rain, thats when he noticed the light of the train.
he grabbed her hand and jumped outside, oh what a night to take a ride.
she let go his hand and ran in a fit, got back in the car then the train hit.
there was a scream, then a crash, but just one could hear, then he looked around there were people coming.
the ambulance sounded like the whimper of her cry, then they said sorry son, she died.
they opened her purse, brought it to him, the night was dark, the flash light so dim.
he heard someone say read it to the crowd, he opened it up and read it out loud.
Heres what it said:
I'm sorry to here you don't love me no more, i know things can never be as before.
you know your parents aren't being fair, to break up to people who really care.
if i should die before you do just remember darling, i love you!
and if I'm in heaven, ill look down from the sky and tell everyone hey thats my guy.
and if i should die before you do no matter what ill always be true.
i guess theres nothing i can say or do but i still love, may god bless you.
as tears began to roll down his eyes, he said a prayer to the sky.
he blamed himself for what she had done, he remembered her saying you are the only one.
if he hadn't broke up, shed still be wearing his ring and wouldn't have went back for such a silly thing.
he sat there thinking how she put his ring in her purse, his dreamed switched from her to a big black nurse.
he raised his head high and said a prayer up above, take care of her lord.

Deceitful Melodies

I walk around the world and leave my memories behind
I try and try but can't seem to ease my troubled mind
My sins will come back to haunt me, they'll get me soon
And there's nothing I can do

I watch the sun fall to the moon
All this reminds of me and you
Your song in my memories is what I fear
I hear it in my heart, I taste it in my tears

The voice of love speaks to me
Singing to deceitful melodies
It laughs through the wind
Screaming to me its songs will never end

From the fields of lies it calls
You robbed me and stole it all
My emotions are but a myth
You broke my heart and my only grip

My life never knew such sadness
Until you stole my gladness
I now know there's but one thing to do
And that's to get rid of you

My Love & My Life

My friend, you’re always the first to leave
Kissing in the downpour of rain
And being soaked to the bone
I have always loved you
Even in the darkest depths of vengeance
When I couldn't love myself
Put the gun in my hands and pull the trigger
You took your chances
You are all I’ve cared about
Like these bullets that I brought for you and your friends
You are the only one going through my mind
Until the day I die, you made me swear
You can deny my words I say are true
But you’ll never push me away so easily
I am not like all those girls who
Throw themselves like the flowers at your feet
Under appreciated and dead
I just want to take our pain and frame it
Kissing in the downpour of rain
And being soaked to the bone
We have come so far
And I’m starting to scare myself
Rejected in the murder scene
No one believes in me
In quiet moments of understanding
My glasses and your ego collide
Kissing in the downpour of rain
And being soaked to the bone
We have been so intimate, so close
Pushing each other, afraid to let go
Never stop until my final breath is gone

Love In Your Eyes

On a day when I’m down and out
you pick me up like no one else.
You grab my hand in your’s,
you look at me and tell me this...

I’ll love you today
I’ll love you tomorrow gone.
I’ll be here till the day begone,
Just close your eyes and think.
It’ll be me in your mind,
I’ll have you in mine.

I look back deep in your eyes and think,
I can’t believe God would give something as precious as this.
I pray to keep this with me forever more.
I look back deep in your eyes and say...

I’ll love you today,
I’ll love you tomorrow gone.
I’ll be here till the day begone,
Just close your eyes and think.
You’ll be in mine as me in your’s.

Confessions of a Prostitute

Walking in the frigid night
Inaudible whispers drowning me
Of things and that were, without success
And things that could never have been

Scarlet dress, ripped at the seams
And toxic, cheap cologne
The endless wait for some one to come
And pick me up tonight

Tonight's the night
I'll show the others who said I could never succeed
Young or old, weak or bold
As long as they'll pay the fee

He comes that night
I am transported to a world away from mine
Heartless passion,
An emotionless bond that pays the bills

Walking in the frigid night
Inaudible whispers drowning me
Of things and that were, without success
And things that could never have been
