    Great Poems Everybody!!!

    The Winners are:

    Last Dance
    By Sunny

    Dancing until dawn
    Just my lover and I
    Twisting and twirling
    As the stars filled the sky

    Your hand across my back
    The wind beneath our feet
    Two destined lovers
    Dancing was so sweet

    the day that  you fell ill
    Your body was so week
    Holding your hand, kissing it softly
    song played on; our future was bleak

    The day you left this world
    My heart would dance no more
    The big band played on
    As I waltzed you to heavens door

    Life in a Glass House
    By Bob

    my soul has been exposed
    on display for all to see
    windows bear the existence
    of the man I've come to be

    they seem to be tinted
    or covered with rain
    for few have the desire
    to witness the pain

    and yet they throw rocks
    for laughter and fun
    my exterior too strong
    as no damage is done

    for my heart was already shattered
    many many years ago
    the left over shards
    are what you now know

    life in a glass house
    is always so crystal clear
    yet the very words I write
    you never seem to hear........

    Mising Pieces
    By katie!>©

    A million special pieces go missing from my heart
    Lying shattered on the ground, where I fell apart
    Picturesque background of sunsets in the night
    With weeping willows shaking in the midst of all their fights

    I'm searching for those pieces, gone missing from my soul
    Wholeheartedly I want them, to make me truly whole
    While I lie awake at night, I speak a gentle prayer
    Come back to me my loved ones, if you should only care

    Missing pieces from that twinkle, that lay there in your eye
    Which faltered then disapeared as time passed us by
    Replaced with the very fear, that we all feel and cry
    As weeks turn into months and our bitter tears dry

    A love that once did flower in each and every mind
    Has wilted oh so gently on the beaches left behind
    As I wander down the shoreline, throwing stones into the water
    I search for a piece, a man, I used to be his daughter

    A million different pieces, each one missing from myself
    As I find each precious lost one I place it on my minds shelf
    A million different pieces, each as perfect as a tear
    Once I find every last piece, there will be no need to fear

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
