MAGICAL/HAPPY/FEEL-GOOD poem contest

Okay everyone, since there are way too many sad depressed poems on this site...I thought that I should encourage people to write/post more happy stuff.

So, here's a contest where you can post any poem that makes me feel good when I read it. Something that would make anyone feel light, happy, hopeful, that all is not lost, or that miracles do exist.

If possible, please try to post poems that involve something other than normal love, you know, "I love you so-and-so" stuff.

Rules:
1. Poems must have some amount of insight
2. Must not exceed 50 lines
3. MUST make a person feel good in the end, or throughout the poem.

Here's what the winners will get:

1st prize: 7 comments + votes + a place in my favorites

2nd prize: 5 comments + votes

3rd prize: 4 comments + votes

I shall solely decide the winners.

The purpose of this contest will also serve a very vital purpose, to make people HAPPY!

So have fun!!! And be Happy!

Unbroken

Ever wonder why my soul won't cry?
It's away from the world and all your lies
You try to break me and want me to die
But, like the tides of the moon, I'm still alive

My skin color tears at your mind
It begins to unravel over time
You try your best to break my pride
But the light of the Lord keeps me alive

In your head you seek to find
The answer to my demise
But no matter how you try
I'll be here, full and alive

What is it that makes you lie?
Makes you go off and lose your mind
If you could, you'd kill me at the drop of a dime
Forever I live, I'll always be alive

My heritage burns into your mind
Engraved forever in the sands of time
The sight of my color makes your anger cry
I laugh at you for I'll always be alive

All my years my color will eternally thrive
It's a symbol of what my ancestors survived
People such as you, no matter how you try
Cannot break me, I'll always be alive

Oh, great to see one poem's here so soon.

I just forgot to mention one rule even though it is obvious...the poems must be your own.

Also, the contest as it is known now closes at 8 poems. After that, 5 MORE poems shall be accepted, with the maximum line limit dropping to 16 (instead of 50)

Let's make this a success, guys!

Desperate Cries For Love

Promise me nothing short of a miracle.
I don't need anything more than that.
One unanswered prayer from long ago.
Something I thought I needed to survive.
Bring me some faith when I need it the most.

Promise me nothing short of true love.
Someone who could satisfy my thirst for life.
Who could understand the trouble I had been brewing.
Who could find even the smallest ounce of longing
buried deep inside of my aching heart.

Promise me nothing short of inspiration
at the moment when I wonder who I am.
When words might one day fail even me.
When I might find it hard to speak my hurt.
Bring me these things, Lord, when I need them most.

Promise me nothing short of a miracle.
I don't need anything more than that.
One unanswered prayer from long ago.
Even if I had not been the one asking.
Let me be somebody's chance for a miracle.

Summer Storm
by Alyson

I walk to the window
And sit on the floor
I look outside
Watching the rain pour

It looks so peaceful
So silent and still
I watch the rain fall
And land on the windowsill

Each little drop
Makes its own little sound
They drip, splash, and fall
On to the warm summer ground

I step out the door
I walk in the rain
The lightning cuts through the sky
Like a mark of pain

The shower turns violent
Thunder now booms
I run for the door
Heading straight for my room

I stoke up the fire
So cozy and warm
I gaze out the window
At the dangerous storm

The wind starts to howl
The lightning flashes
I cover my ears
As the thunder crashes

The power flickers
The lights go out
Light from the fire
Help me to move about

I hope to myself
The storm will soon end
The lightning abides
Quickly becoming my friend

The lights flicker on
The end as arrived
The storm as subsided
I HAVE SURVIVED!

Good night kiss
by Even roses have thorns

She looks at him
just lying there
slow, deep breaths
of his deep slumber
she remembers the day they met
he wore a bright blue shirt,
her favorite color,
her in a red satin gown
their eyes met
sparks flew,
he asked her to dance
she would never turn him down
gliding through the ballroom
looking into each other's eyes
everyone else vanished
it was just them two
the magic came to an end
with the coming of the night
off they went to be alone
they sat in the courtyard
and there was where they fell in love
now they must retire to their homes
but before they leave
one amazing good night kiss
stirring in his sleep
he looks at her with loving eyes
and whispers "i love you"
kissing his forehead
she whispers "i love you, too"

Only You

If you could read my mind
You would understand
Why I like you
And why I can’t stand
To be without you for more than a minute
Just thinking of you taking my heart
It’s hard to see us
Drift apart
I can’t imagine you
Being without me
So will you please?
Tell me
Tell me everything you like
I want to hear what you must say
Give me a chance
And I could make this your lucky day

(This is one of my older poems just modified a bit)

Scars That Heal
by ~~Lindsay Woods~~

When you found that one person who makes you feel like your the only one in the room,

That one person who still sits beside you no matter what you have been through,

The one who asks you if your ok when you have done something wrong,

The one person who sings to you from the heart the most wonderful song,

When you found that one person who loves you for who you are,

The one person who will keep you from moving to far,

The one person that you look at and they always make you smile,

That is the one person who will make it all worth the while,

When you have found that person you will know from the start,

That is the one person you will always have in your heart.

When you find your one and only,

Tell them how you feel,

That is the one thing that they can do is make the scars heal.

i wrote this for my friends birthday - jst to show her she was loved id say it was a happy poem so here it is. . .

Happy Birthday Girl!
Another year has passed.
People met, and New Friends made
Parties, laughs and broken hearts
Yet now this step is over, Time to Celebrate.

Brownies for you on this special Day.
I hope you have a fantastic time
Remember this day when life becomes hard
That we will always be here
Having fun or holding you when you cry
Don't forget how much we care
And stay the special person you are as the
Years goes bye. . .

Keeper Of My Dreams

Keeper of my dreams
I ask a favor of you.
Hold all my bad dreams,
and let my good dreams come true.

Lock my cowardliness in a box
and allow me to be brave,
to go skiing down a mountain
or surf a tidal wave.

Take my dream of traveling the world,
and make it a reality.
Let me fly on a bird's wings to Japan and Rome
and soar over France and Italy.

Give me the guy I see every night
when I close my eyes and sleep.
Play the melody of love in my mind;
soft, soothing and deep.

I ask only for these few desires
keeper of my dreams.
I long to experience joy and happiness
and everything wonderful that life can bring.

by Vixen

He was looking for the remote
hair coming from a mole
looking like a hairy goat
and a little troll

he looked retarded
and looking like he just farted

smell drifting to my nose, trust me it didn't smell like a rose

you could see his butt crack
from the very back

he farted in your face
leaving a trace of chicken

you looking stricken, him slapping his thigh

stink burning your eye, looking like you would cry

him eating beans and sardines
just so it would stink

giving a small wink
sounding like a kink

don't ever go near this guy
for sure you will die

this is one ugly dude
you wouldn't ever want to see him nude

contest is over
