I`ll throw in one I wrote a few days ago.

The Song of the Silence

Ah, the song of the silence
what beauty and depth to each line.
So gracious whenever it portrays
the closure of days that were mine.

Sound may be draped by beauty
but `tis doomed to a bitter end.
Only silence can last forever;
the sole thing one cannot transcend.

Though sound have the gift of telling,
silence is much more profound.
Whilst stillness will never deceive thee,
sound is too often confound.

To stray from the path of unquiet.
Alas! A choice of such grief.
Yet compared to the streams of the silence
the bliss of the sound is so brief.

Aye, by the song of the Silence,
the words of the living will pale.
The truths in the realm of the quiet,
Bedimmed by no darkening veil.

Me and My Music
By: Knoxy
Group: EoP
Topic: Music

Music is my remedy in life,
It takes me away,
And lets me be in my own world,
Instead of being so concerned about today...

It gives me the strength to carry on when I am weak,
It mellows me out when I am pissed,
No matter what I am doing or where I am,
Music is always number 1 on my list...

Music makes you never feel alone,
And it keeps me sane,
It makes me think about certain things,
And it shows me what I can gain...

Music gets my mind off things,
And just lets me escape from reality,
It's always been there whenever you need it,
Don't you have to agree?..

Whether it may be in times of need,
Or happy times with friends,
It's always there,
And it will be with you until the end...

And thatz that lol

Killer's Instinct
Kenshin
EOP

Topics: Thunderstorm, Music and Silence (Yup, three in one)

Music playing at the background,
Thunder tearing through the air,
And silence being his greatest ally,
He walks through the roads,
Waiting for his next victim

Walking through the storm,
She listens to the sweet sound of music,
Unaware of the silence incorporating her,
She soon finds herself deafened by the thunder.

He comes from behind her,
Giving her peace finally
Eternally amongst this storm,
He kills her without hesitation,
And silence returns.

His allies,
Thunder, music and silence,
Thunder boils his blood,
Music soothes his victims,
And silence strengthens his kill.

Those are his killer’s instinct,
And these are his allies,
Thunder, the roar of anger,
Music, the deceptive allies,
And Silence, the Killers Instinct.

TADA...
'tis I,
SiE,
So fly!!

I'm not posting yet... Time is on my side with this one ;)

I was going to start on this challenge, but then thought "If I finish any of the poems first, then they will be in EOPs favour right?" So then I thought "But I'll be going back home soon, they'll think I'm a traitor!" so I've decided to wait until I'm home and I'll make a start then... Don't want to upset anyone ;) lol...

Damn, I miss you guys!

Hey Bob... Your silent poem... You could have used punctuation. Break the poem down a little ya know ;) lol!

Lol...

Damn Angela, thanks for those cookies... That's ruined my work out routine lol... Enjoyed them though :P

Can you watch Sunny for me? She's to go careful with those aprifarts... I mean apricots!

Blood does not run
in my endless veins
but i am still living
unlike a fanged vampire
I do not fear the sun
nor the glowing glare of the moon
a melody swims throughout me
to my pumping heart, it is key
my feet tap to every beat
my hands clap to a silent tune
i dance to every musical commercial
or songs that i always hear
there is music in my body
music in my heart and brain
a beat or song or harmony
can fix everything wrong with me
anger, anxiety, frustration, fear
all of this is gone
when the CD is on
my friends think I'm weird
when in sing without an ear
but i love with abandon
when the music is my love
it is my Romeo, Tristan, or Casanova
and i its Juliet, Isolde and loving muse
music holds me tight at night
when the world leave me alone
hold me close my love
and never let me go.

Splendour of A Thunderstorm
Topic: Thunderstorms
By Simon Hayes
CC&P

Lightning hits a flowered green,
Pretty flowers can be seen.
Evil roars can be heard
By every little fleeting bird.

Raindrops falling from the skies.
A thunderstorms greatest disguise.
Rumbles flatten all the sound
Fading as they hit the ground.

Illuminate sky of pink and grey.
An incredibly beautiful, lighting display.
Forks of light surround the trees,
Followed by an Almighty breeze.

Umbrellas mingle in the street.
Wind and rain so hard to beat.
Soon the sun shall shine some more,
Brightening the day just like before.

Earth Drums

Although the sun
brightly shines
and the sky is
a beautiful blue

off in the distance
is softly heard
mother nature beating
upon the earth

out on the horizon
can be seen
grey clouds swiftly
moving over the sea

closer to shore now
the sun hides
sounds of drums
are getting louder

darkness covers
the quiet coastline
lightning flashes
rain pours down

mother nature
sings her tune
letting her anger out
playing earth drums

Sealed Lips

Once a beautiful
vibrant young woman
a heart filled with love
laughter in her eyes

never a frown
did she wear
until that one
dreadful night

he came into her life
making promises
to cherish, love
honor and trust

instead of happiness
he caused misery, pain
raping her mind and body
leaving her soul cold

he took away
her dignity and
hope for a future
of loving bliss

now she sits alone
in the darkness
of the shadows
with sealed lips

Well here is mine.

Silent Echoes

Echoes.
My arms so empty and bare.
The silence
Of you not there.

Echoes.
Resounding against these walls
Remembered tears
Slipping like waterfalls.

The crib is empty
The room is still.
All around echoes
Of what I feel.

Holding your little body
Nuzzling your cheek.
Silence all around
Can’t find what I seek.

You’re not in my arms
You’re cold in the ground.
I can’t stand the silence
Of listening for your sound.

I’ll never hear you cry again.
My pain won’t relent
Standing in your room
Everything so silent.

anything that will make you laugh and smile
but no, i sit in silence and

waiting eyes in
silence

The Flute Player and The Rose
By Kenshin
EOP

*Topic: Thunderstorms and Music*

Music only heard by the deaf,
A rose that stands up tall and proud,
What is the story behind these two things?
And why are they so unique.

He played the flute,
Music floated from his heart,
But none could listen to it,
None but those who're deaf.

The blind could hear his flute,
From way up in the mountain,
And when they touched the rose,
While hearing his song,
They instantly were in paradise.

When a storm blew in from the North,
And Thunder came in with lightening,
A single rose stood high and mighty,
Against the strongest of the winds,
And the fiercest of thunderstorms set in,
That rose stood mighty and strong,
And survived everything.

They say that we use our sense to tell what is what,
But have you ever tried closing your eyes,
And closing all senses,
If you tried,
You might finally hear the flute player’s song,
And see the rose that stood strong and proud.
In the midst of all the silence.

In the dark of the night
the rain blurs all sight
in the dark of the night
teens smile in delight
the lightning lights the sky
the rain blurs all sight
making the senses lie
fearful the moon calls
the lightning lights the sky
all conversation stalls
to see the clouds war
fearful the moon calls
shaken to its very core
where ever are you now
to see the clouds war
do you in fear bow
in the dark of the night
where ever are you now
in the dark of the night

Raining Prayers

Quiet rumbles in the African Fields
bare feet pounding into the dirt
Working, hoping that rain comes
praying to feed the old and young

Clouds grow darker trading the sun
shading the land, unfolding hope
Prays grow louder, chantings stronger
children dancing and smiles approaching

One by one the drops begin falling
lighting dances reflecting in eyes
thunder claps as young ones hide
The ground is feed and seeds begin

Quiet rumbles in the African Fields
bare feet pounding into the dirt
Working, hoping that rain comes
praying to feed the old and young

Silence Surrounds
Topic: Silence
By Steven Beesley
CC&P

Silence Surrounds:

The silence so resilient,
like a knife that cuts straight through me.
Friends part, lovers now strangers,
only the emptiness remains.

A pin may drop but I
would not hear it.
Unearthly quietness that
surrounds increases in volume.

The stillness of the night
now confronts and befriends me.
My own breathing is the
only thing that can be heard.

Listening for something in
the dead silence, but
nothing will ever be heard.
My own cries now muffled only to be heard inside my mind.

A room full of silence, perished
and lost memories.
Echoing stillness, deadly
traquility challenging one's sanity.

The Final Touch
topic: Music

Emotion captured
without words
Quietly playing
upon musical notes

The beginning displays
of a lovers wants
a desirable piece
enticing the crowd

As performers present
the music's own voice
no words released
Only movements of songs

A desirable love
now torn apart
the music now slow
A dramatic final touch

~Jacklyn

Restless
Topic: Silence

Quiet, let our mother speak
feed us with her wisdom
May we find some peace

May we lay down gentaly
slow down the busy hearts
relax within her valleys

Just listen to the silence
Shut off all communications
except our mother nature

Who's gone too long unheard
As children we grow restless
ignoring a mother's heart

~Jacklyn

Well done Jacklyn on your poems, good job.

well thank you. i really like your poem about the flute you posted above. i thought it was pretty creative. i actually play the flute too so it was real cool.

Perfect Silence

Allow me to gaze in your direction,
Discover your wonderful face.
Stare into your eyes of utmost perfection,
Causing my heart to race.

Hold my hand and sit with me,
Don't say a single word.
Seize this perfect opportunity,
While nothing can be heard.

Your eyes and heart are speaking
In the perfect silence of this room.
Forever they are seeking,
For love to finally bloom.

This avalanche of desire,
Strengthened by

Explore your fantasies.

I shall revive your wildest dreams.
We shall sing sweet melodies
Of exotic love.

Place your hand on my heart.
Listen to our song,

Title: Calm After the Storm

Calm After the Storm

Sitting in my bedroom,
staring at a grey outside.
I sigh a sad depression,
as rain starts to fall.

Tears roll down my face,
droplets of water tap my window.
I trace them with my fingers,
as they slide down the glass.

Trees are violently shaking,
from the very strong winds.
A thunderstorm is brewing,
I felt it in my heart.

Lightning is striking afar,
sounds of thunder follow.
Hugging my knees I sit,
hoping for a better day.

Another argument in the books,
I stormed out crying again.
Now I'm watching the storm,
there is no where else to hide.

Time passes as the rain pours,
it gives me time to think.
I hate the way we always fight,
more violent than the winds.

Voices are always booming,
like the thunder outside.
Quick to make judgments,
almost like the lightning.

Slowly the rain is stopping,
as I wipe my tears away.
The aftermath I see outside,
nothing like my life.

Suddenly my parents come in,
and apologize to me.
Stunned, I looked outside,
I see the sun smiling down.

Topic: Silence
Title: Unbroken Silence

Unbroken Silence

Darkness haunts this vacant room,
shattered glass reflects the moon.
Sounds of crying echo the halls,
through the thin bedroom walls.

Another fight ending with a crash,
violent attacks as parents clash.
Torn apart is this humble home,
heart broken and feeling alone.

This is the sound of silence,
when there is no more violence.
Everything is once again calm,
Hiding and safe from any harm.

Silent are the walls on this night,
there will never be another fight.
No more words of anger or hate,
there is no more glass to break.

Silence is the sound for the deaf,
there is no more disturbances left.
The halls no longer echo a cry,
on the floor their bodies lie.

i'll pick Topic #3: Music
from Love & peace.

the Music is good to have around,
There are many varieties of sound,
You have rhythm and blues,
And the old soft shoes,
Others prefer soul or jazz,
My preference is country rock and roll,
Some musicians play classical,
Others play nothing but gospel,
It is said to really rock the stands,
You need heavy metal bands,
Some bands enjoy a country and western song,
No matter what you choose, you cannot be wrong,
Modern music has an up-tempo tune,
Older music was meant to swoon,
Different music is played in a disco,
To that which is played in a bistro,
No need for a gimmick or a trick,
It is up to you to pick your style of music

don't know what's your style music! Lol..;)

Haunted By The Silence
By: Holly Armer
Representing: EOP
Topic: Silence

Watching him struggle
so innocent and young
Trapped within oblivion
a melody unsung

Eyes wide with wonder
dreams of normalcy
or at least a fleeting moment
to finally break free

from this total darkness
that paints his everyday
Muddling his thoughts
causing words to stray

Unable to express
these feelings deep inside
Haunted by the silence
damaging his pride

Just living his life
caught within the black
as autism continues
to wager it's attack

Praying for the release
of my precious son
hoping someday soon
his battle will be won

Memories Within A Song
By: Holly Armer
Representing: EOP
Topic: Music

A love song plays upon my heart
This tune, I've heard before
Reminding me of times that pass
Shaking me to my core

Within the first few beats
these memories enchant my mind
Our love was solid and true
the best I'd hope to find

Harmonic words flood my ears
as I drift away
Joyfully remembering
our hectic wedding day

Yet when the chorus hits
my tears begin to form
As I recall our love
like the calm before the storm

The song is now at it's peak
our love is slipping through
Two hearts completely broken
unsure of what to do

With the fading of the music
the moment is now gone
Yet, I'll always have these memories
captured within a song

Thunder and Lightening
(How could have I forgotten about this one)
Topic Thunderstorms

The calm blue ocean,
Resting on top of white sand,
Stirred by the winds sweet voice,
A thunderstorm starting at last.

Sweet sights of lighting,
Power with every strike,
The booming of thunder,
Bothering the calmness of the ocean.

I sit humbly by the shore,
Swept away by the never ending twilight night,
Listening closely to the thunder,
As I witness my first lighting bolt.

With each slash,
I think of a hardship gone
Lighting being my solution,
Slashing down on my problems.

Thinking of the thunder,
Rumbling from the depth of Mother Nature,
Another bolt is born,
Replacing the ones that die.

The cycle of life continues,
As the storm passes me,
Death and life enter winding,
A never-ending story, I rest my head and cry.

*To Elaborate of this piece: What I'm aiming at is to explain thunder and lighting as if they are the hands of death, and the storm passing after that is life beginning again*

Keeper of the Storm
By: Holly Armer
Representing: EOP
Topic: Thunderstorms

Lightening dances in her eyes
as rain savages her skin
She is the keeper of the storm
fighting these feelings deep within

Shadowed by the thunder
she wears it like a dress
Secrets worn like accessories
that she's longing to confess

Her raven hair whips gracefully
in the torment of the breeze
Overtaken by the memories
that bring her to her knees

Mustering strength through
the cascade of her tears
With the grace of one hand
a majestic tornado appears

Creating devestation to
vent the anger and pain
Knowing in her heart
she's got nothing to gain

But this is her life
the role to which she was born
A vicious and heartless temptress
the keeper of the storm
