    Please dont Go

    While your walking close to me
    And touch my skin so gently
    I feel the coldness of your kiss and embrace
    So cold that burn my skin and face

    Your smile although yet so captivating
    But not that bright like sun in the morning
    Your trying to say all the good things
    So tell me why your eyes were lying

    Obviously I know that theres something wrong
    And you dint want to hurt my feeling
    So you keep the secret about your leaving
    Thinking that I dint feel a great pain

    You know that my life will surely end when you leave me
    That your the only girl who can comfort me
    Your my remedy who cure all this pain
    So please dont go and please dont leave me here

    Rejection
    by ~*Sachi*~

    Those words were thrown out
    before I could pull them back.
    And now my heart
    is thrown off of track.

    I can't believe
    they escaped so easily.
    What, now,
    must you think of me?

    Those three words,
    "I love you",
    have so much effect
    yet words so few.

    Now that I've said
    what's on my mind,
    take a gun,
    if you'd be so kind

    and shoot the bullets
    into my head.
    Maybe this won't hurt
    if I'm dead.

    Please just say
    anything at all.
    Don't just stand there
    and watch me fall.

    Now that my soul is bared
    what will you say?
    Will you return my love?
    Or will you push me away?

    ~Last Strand~

    (Verse 1)
    My desires are beguiling,
    a fabrication of the truth.
    The lies are all compiling,
    escaping from the sleuth.

    (Chorus)
    Can run, but cannot hide,
    with every passing stride,
    I die a little more inside,
    my passion won't subside.

    (Verse 2)
    My efforts are misleading,
    misdirected by my lust.
    Yet, you'll find me pleading,
    to gain eternal trust.

    (Verse 3)
    Bonds will soon be broken,
    I will not play the tease.
    Words I've left unspoken,
    will now come out with ease.

    (Chorus)
    Can run, but cannot hide,
    with every passing stride,
    I die a little more inside,
    my passion won't subside.

    (Verse 4)
    Words that I've bestowed,
    now will be relinquished.
    My hearts been overflowed,
    with things I can't distinguish.

    (Verse 5)
    Ties with loosened ends,
    will soon settle in my hands.
    With each agonizing bend,
    I loosen the last strand.

    (Chorus)
    Can run, but cannot hide,
    with every passing stride,
    I die a little more inside,
    my passion won't subside,
    my passion won't subside.

    The Painter

    So here I am again-
    Sitting in the same washed out picture
    of the same washed out relationship
    In the same washed out frame-
    You and I solely shared!

    And why do I still choose to stay in this picture?
    Where the colours are fading
    And the strokes of blood and hate
    cripple from the paintbrush.

    With time it seems you're words start to fade,
    Yet when I look up there they are
    never in short supply
    Like a jagged crystal blade.
    And I scream in pitches of fear...
    But the painter...
    Which is you- it appears
    Will secretly paint the space with flowers
    Colours so bright...
    And when I look away again
    You'll quickly remove them with all your might!

    And so I ask myself why do I keep looking away,
    Knowing the Painter will paint those words again?
    The echoing chills of paint through my heart,
    Jagged knives with a frozen start.

    Now I sit
    In this dark, clustered room my heart created
    Just to cope
    .............I Think..........
    I don't know what or why it does these things!

    And the stroke seeks me out again.
    It finds me where i hide,
    It's following your hand
    The Painter
    And once you are done-
    With this portrait, you'll through it aside....
    JUST ANOTHER PORTRAIT OF JUST ANOTHER GIRL THAT BELIEVED YOUR LIES!!!!

    My number One
    by ♪↑Musicians Finest♪↑

    Theres a tear running down
    Its heading toward the floor
    but you came and wiped it away
    'til all the tears were no more

    Theres a Thunderstorm on me
    The Rain Pours where i stand
    but you came with an umbrella
    and then came and held my hand

    And at that very second we touch
    The rain storms out of my way
    and you've done this all the time
    since we first met on new yr's day

    Your beautiful like a sweet garden
    you stand out like the moon in the sky
    You make me who i am today
    with you by me i can fly

    You make me feel good about me
    Your my Queen and I'm the king
    You make me So happy
    Your the wind beneath my wing

    ill give you anything you desire
    ill give you everything you deserve
    ill never ever treat you wrong
    Or even try and get on your nerve

    You are everything to me baby
    You are my life my gift
    My priceless gift to my heart
    your what i praise and lift

    I'll scream my love for you
    i want the whole world to know
    your the only one in my heart
    theres no-one in-front or below

    I had a broken tore heart
    and it was reaching out for you
    Torn into millions of pieces
    but you helped my heart come new

    You showed theres light
    you showed me theres hope
    you showed me you can love
    and that i can use you to cope

    Your always there when needed
    your just only a call away
    and once i hear your voice
    I feel your heart stay

    I love you so much baby
    I'm the flower your the sun
    I need you every-night
    Cause your my Number 1

    Someone Like You
    by Tina

    When I'm with you
    I feel so free
    Knowing that no matter what
    You will always love me

    I can tease and joke
    With you knowing I'm not for real
    Nothing that anyone can say
    Can change the way you feel

    If anybody hurts me
    You tell me they will pay
    I know that you are too kind to do it
    And I wouldn't have it any other way

    I'm just so fortunate
    To have found someone like you
    Who reminds me everyday
    That he feels the way I do

    Is it Love

    Laying in your arms
    feeling safe and secure
    feelings I once lost
    have now recurred

    An emotional dilemma
    I must now incur
    not knowing exactly
    which way to turn

    Wanting you to stay
    yet another night
    yearning for the next time
    that you hold me tight

    Thoughts revolving around you
    every day and night
    wavering in my stance
    that I once had on life

    My destination unknown
    while traveling this road
    my future undetermined
    if it's you that I will forever hold

    Widow Martyrdom

    Two spiders meet.
    Web and bush in a twist.
    Despite hazard, a male bravely insists
    preparing to complete his ancient feat.

    Searching for his prize,
    marked by a red star.
    He will travel wide and far
    to find the spider twice his size.

    When he finds her they will dance
    a tangle that ends with his severed head
    but the ultimate legacy honors the dead
    soon his sons will hunt females to entrance.

    Some call it instinct, I know love’s the explanation
    going to the end of his world for her.
    If she was pleased he could endure
    even putting down his life without hesitation.

    If not this, what is love?

    Mama, Lock Up Your Son
    by Д βєąµ†ιƒµℓ £ιэ (EOP)

    You said “I want to take you out, girl.”
    but then you only break me down
    Blow me off in circles of marijuana smoke
    You said you want to take me out
    But spend your nights jerking off alone

    You said you want to flaunt me,
    Like the bling around your neck
    Like I’m your favorite possession
    But you haven’t claimed me yet

    My brother’s finding all your favorite haunts
    And telling you what he wants for me
    But he never asked me
    No one ever asked me

    You come up and try to please me,
    But I’m not making it that easy
    Touch me, tease me, then you freeze me out
    I know where you’re coming from now

    Washing Away
    By: Jacklyn
    Club: EOP

    Grabbing a hold of a peaceful breeze
    breathing in deeply, smelling the sea
    closing my eyes relaxing all thoughts
    Temporary lost, tangled within love

    Laying naked upon the sandy sea shore
    allowing the waves to crash upon my soul
    Washing away my past broken hopes
    casting my heart to his caring arms

    Exposing my eyes to anew horizon skies
    viewing a sunset, allowing nothing to hide
    Revealing emotions locked away long ago
    as we lay there together, becoming just one

    The Harshness of Reality
    By Twisted Heart
    EOP

    They say that love can fill an ocean
    sail a ship across the sea
    Fly a kite above the clouds
    or tame an angry honey bee

    They say mere words of love bring hope
    mending broken fences everyday
    It's known to heal a tarnished heart
    or chase the blues away

    They say that love is the answer
    to questions we may have through time
    and it's the only thing that matters
    to give it up would be a crime

    That is what they say to me
    as I travel through my life
    They never bothered telling me
    how love could cut you like a knife

    They never said my heart could die
    that trust and faith would both be gone
    or cause me to scream in pain
    when I was treated wrong

    They never said to me it crushes
    mortals agonized and broken
    because they too believed the lie
    when those three words were spoken

    The harshness of reality
    that love has brought to me
    Is bittersweet and locked away
    and needs no company

    Maybe it's just me, but aren't those words necessary in some poems. I mean, how can they be replaced?

  • Sean Dohr
    18 years ago

  • Welshy
    18 years ago

    Best laugh about this was we got told to use I love you poems...
    Originally it was any love poems,
    in which many wrote different categories..
    Im not saying u guys didnt win hands down cos u did...
    Str8 up...
    but most of these lot r kids, and still trying to better themselves and learn from you lot...
    Have a little respect Dwelt...
    You lot are practically parents to most of these, and knocking them down for some great poems of their age is not a nice or "Adult" thing to do...
    Give it a rest man...
    Granted ur an awesome poet, but give them some credit for even trying to take you on lol
    They not gonna improve if you knock their self esteem down,
    and desigirl your that sad and pathetic you would...
    DESIGIRL FEEL FREE TO DOWN VOTE ME AGAIN, COS THATS HOW PATHETIC YOU ARE

  • Tormented
    18 years ago

    Agreed with EUPHORIC...

    Desigirl wot is ur problem??
    What's the point of downvoting? you are just wasting your time..
    I didnt know you were THAT sad

    AND Congrats EOP!

  • ShadowedPhoenix
    18 years ago

    Congrats to the poets of EOP and my club poetic justicce, what matters is not who won but how the competitors could benefit from this experience, so thanks for the opportunity it was greatly appreciated and THANK YOU Sunny for taking your time to judge! Hopefully in the near future we could take you on again lol and hopefully place somewhere! So thanks again, but as been said before a lot of us are young and still learning and we welcome any advice that you'd like to give us!
    And Desigirl I am not going to lower my standards but I think you need to move leave what happened behind you, learn from it and grow as a person and poet- you need to, I'm not being ugly or anything but i think downvoting my members poems etc is really beneath a lady like yourself- Please don't prove me wrong!

    Enjoy your day and thanks again to Sunny, EOP and my members who participated!
    mwah!

    congrats, EOP! beautiful poems! great job everyone!

    but, um . . . where's the other judge?

  • Timothy r
    18 years ago

    I guess I should be grateful for the changes dwelt made on my poem, and I am. However, I am an amatuer poet, don`t really care what the professionals think about my work. But this is not sour grapes, I appreciate the critique Bob, I write the way I write, cannot help it. I always appreciate comments on my work, and it seems you are the only one who honestly says what he feels. Thank you. Timothy r

  • Welshy
    18 years ago

    I think you are all great poets...
    yes, Sean Dohr, i did notice u were 16 lol...
    I meant in general...
    Most of the poets from EOP in the comp were 30+
    and they should have a little more respect and offer advice in a more respectful way rather than kick someone's self esteem in the teeth

  • The Poetic Child
    18 years ago

    Poetic Justice...We come and we see
    that we were no match for EoP
    take it as a lesson that we come to agree
    Were modern poets while they got a poetic degree

    So lets go out there and fix what we conceal
    Give our wounds a rest, and watch it heal
    Dont take it being harsh, take it as a happy meal
    just try to re-arrange and change, no big deal

    Eop we will come back to play again sometime
    we'll use a diffrent topic, and use a diffrent rhyme
    Then have you stunned, and permit a crime
    of being so good, as u watch our skill just climb..

    I dont know.
    I was bored..lol

  • Timothy r
    18 years ago

    Yeah, us "oldies" just can`t do it anymore..lmao! Seiously, it is good to see young ppl with so much talent here. Onward and upward we all go.

  • The Poetic Child
    18 years ago

    Yup.
    just gotta hope us "Modern" poets give poetry a new meaning and style..

  • Welshy
    18 years ago

    Let me quote from a previous post...
    "You lot are practically parents to most of these, and knocking them down for some great poems of their age is not a nice or "Adult" thing to do..."

    I wasnt aiming it at all of you maybe i shud have rephrased it.
    But it was mainly aimed at DWELT for his post,
    i just noticed that a few others of your poets were 30+, i didnt make it a job to check all of you...

    This is the post i was referring to..
    "you'd think that a challenge would bring out better quality poems among some who are considered to be topnotch, wow, what a huge disappointment, and the continual usage of I this and I that, the words, "the", "and", "like" make it seem that many of you in the clubs have gotten away from learning the basic principles of the craft........Although I see some of you still can put together some amazing stuff....But for the most part, the poems were mediocre"

    You cant expect every person on this site to write like the winners cos you guys poems were amazing..
    But let off on the little guys that are still learning the craft?? Thats kinda low..
    Especially from someone Dwelt's age..

  • Tormented
    18 years ago

    Exactly!

  • ShadowedPhoenix
    18 years ago

    Beautifully broken i think you slighlt misunderstood the post about- he didn't say it's the reason you won. Also I think a lot of you have been writing a lot longer then some of my members and great writing comes with experience and practice but more importantly help, so please feel free to critique our work we'll greatly appreciate it!

  • Welshy
    18 years ago

    I'm not saying be false.
    What i am saying is be true in a slightly more caring way...
    ie.. Rather than the way you worded it as a "huge disappointment", you could have said
    "Poetic Justice your poems could improve by using the words, "I", "the", "and", "like" alot less frequently", and then gave ya example...
    The way you said it, it put alot of people down,
    You worded it different and you could have avoided that and still got your point across..
    Doesn't take a lot to think about what you say...
    And trust me im a prime example of being blunt,
    i dont pussy-footing about people, if i got something to say ill say it...
    Check some of the comments i have left people, but also note the way i said them...
    It doesn't discourage but it gets my point across...

    I totally agree with you in that criticism is the best way to improve someone, all i am saying is word it differently and take note of the way you are saying things..
    I actually like criticism on my poems,
    as most people say "yes, liked it" or "that was great", but that dont tell me nothing..
    I want to improve as a poet, and i do believe people should let me know how to improve,
    again I completely ignore ratings because they don't tell me nothing...
    I welcome you to say it as harsh as you like to me, i can take the criticism, but to do that to the guys in Poetic Justice i did not like, they are mainly young..
    We have guys from about 13 - 21 (me being one of the oldest)
    sorry if everything has been misunderstood, but thats the way it all came across..
