Dark Angel

Shattered wings of black and purple,
Darkness on her mind,
A black and tattered angel,
Who hath fallen behind.

She withers in the darkness,
A cold brush off from God,
She's all alone in this world,
And to everyone she seems odd.

Oh beatiful creature of darkness,
Why do you wilt away?
I'll show you life and kindness,
If only for a day.

But this darkened angel fell faster,
Then I could reach to catch.
So now I light a candle for her,
With this lonely little match.

wow, great writing! Even if you don't win, I may add you to my favorites.

thank you very much.

does it absolutely HAVE to b newly written?!:( i have one called my curse frum a munth ago or sumthin. if not then ill wanna do blistered hearts...

i feel bad, but i think it would only be fair if you submitted a new poem like everyone else. I will reserve blistered hearts for you.

ok, ill prob do it later 2nite. o well my curse wasnt that good anyway:D. ok bbl 2 do it

Can I reserve Demon Lover

Demon Lover

Eyes naked to a lover's lust
Black hair swam in late night's dust
Symbols carved into his skin
A human outside, a demon within

Who says a demon can't have a heart
Who says a demon can't have intimate thoughts
When in love, he's as fierce as a knight
Sworn to protect out of his lady's delight

Rough and passionate kisses from his lips
Around your body he eclipse
Filling in overwhelming pleasure
Indulging in his lover's treasure

ok.! here we go:

Blistered Hearts

Sick of the pain, sick of the lies,
How have I become the one to despise?
My heart continues to beat, although it hurts,
Where everyone yell, and no one flirts.

I used to be loved. Look at me now,
Become so forgotten, don’t really know how.
My heart has become blistered, over endless pain.
Years of backstabbers, has made me insane.

Once was a time, when I had it all,
Until the day someone saw me fall.
All turned their backs I wasn’t good enough,
The years since then have become so tough.

The blistered hearts, live among us each day,
Yet you treat us bad, and stop saying “hey”,
Stop treating us like the people we are.
No one really cares, that you’ve all gone too far.

There is a clan of us, and someday we’ll prevail,
All come together, and let our lives sail.
Forget about those, whose hearts are intact,
Forget about all of you who turned your backs.

~*Who Cares?*~

wow, really not my best. that kinda sucked. lol

urggg.. i have one from the 22nd! can i pleasse submit that one? :P

can I reserve my curse? I will do it as soon as I am done with my other one.

Wings of a vampire
by Silhouette, of something unimaginable

The cold dark shadow
floats across the ground
a flicker, then gone.
hight above
something no one knows
foreign to all,
his silent flight
sends him traveling
to any home he may find,
a maiden awaiting,
inviting him in
only to shriek in fear
as he pierces their skin
sending chills up the spine
he flees the awakening,
and the mortals hurry,
but to slowly,
for he is gone
now only a shadow,
a dream,
only moon light touching
the wings of a vampire

Jessy, if you honestly just wrote it yesterday and no earlier...i will allow it. i already told someone they could not do "my curse" because they wrote their poem before today. but anyway, yes you can. which title did you want?

lol ya mine was like 2 munts ago tho

Forbiddeneyes, your poem is supposed to be at LEAST 14 lines. Your poem is 12 lines, so you can either add 2 more lines to it or beg me to let you get away with just 12. it is up to you...

Who Cares, interesting take on the title. I like it, nice work.

silhoutte, nice writing...gave me chills :)

thnx. not very good though. im havin a hard time writin this week, i dun kno y. neway thnx again:D

thank youu! you can go check on my profile if you want.. only wrote it on the 22nd.. :)

#1 My Favorite Nightmare

Sitting all alone
Tied up in a dark room
Struggling to reach the phone
Waiting to meet her doom..

She lets out a cry
But is heard by none
Oh how I wish I could fly
Oh, please god, just let me run..

A hooded figure walks in
A knife is what is held
He is going to enjoy committing this sin
And the effort of being repelled..

He looks at her pale face
Her eyes blackened with fear
This he wants agony to replace
As he brings the blade near..

Screaming with pain
As again and again he slices
Making her slowly go insane
Her body left to its own devices..

She pleads and she begs
But he does not listen
Slowly carving flesh from her legs
The scarlet blood starting to glisten..

He looks around with satisfaction
And closes her now ghostly white eyes
He prods her bloody skin but finds no reaction
And leaves this place to be haunted by her deathly cries..

/\
that poem scared the crap out of me. good writing.

~*`My Curse`*~
By: Bryce Dressler
~~~~~~~~~~~~

After all that we've endured
i'm still in love with you.
All the pain and torture
I've been able to fight it through.

But I still dont know if these feelings
are the ones I should listen to.
without a doubt I love you still
but I dont know what to do.

You said we had a special bond
a certain love that would never be dead.
But how can that be true
When you love him instead?

Its a hard place to be,
a friend wanting so much more.
Loving a girl so much
with a heart that's tore.

You said he's your one and only
until the very end.
so I guess that i'll have to live
with being your best friend.

Single and lost, alone in the dark
cursed with the pain of us two.
Stuck with this curse deep in my heart,
cursed with always loving you.
