DEADLINE----------------------JULY 30TH-----------

Death

Death, the endless sleep,
a non-breathing dream...
or is it reality?
The loss of another's soul,
the life taken, sometimes
at the hands of another...

"Grasp the throat firmly
with both hands,
squeeze and twist until
breath is no longer heard..."

Death, the never-ending
loss. A loss of a life,
possibly grating and hurting
the others, sometimes at the
hands of the person their-self...

"Take the shotgun firmly,
do not be scared, close your
eyes while thinking of the silence
that lies ahead, pull the trigger..."

Death, not always the right
answer, but sometimes, the
only path one is left to take.

Ended Story

I sat and watched him die
Knowing I could do nothing,
Yet wishing that I could.
I never even knew him,
Though I felt as if I did
And now I never will.
He was always just there,
A backround character in my story,
But the star of his own...
I took him for granted,
Just knowing he would be there
And not noticing his pain.
Just...hoping that he'd know
That I really did care,
And that I was there for him.
But to him I wasn't,
I was just an empty page
In his now ended story...

I sat and watched him die,
Slowly...
I could've changed it,
But I didn't...

*is this enough about death? cuz I can put up another one...*

Bloodless

I stay in the darkness, where i belong.
away from the human's where everything's wrong.
i used to be human, or so i thought.
but despite all my disguises, it all was for naught.

one cannot run from oneself, i am my own enemy.
i can't change who i am, i am what you see.
a creature made only of flesh and bone.
there is nothing more, than this which is shone.

if i deny the truth, only pain will i find.
if i lie to myself, i only kill my mind.
i cut you, you bleed, cut me, there's nothing.
i am but a vessel, a non circled ring.

i do not exist, nor should i be with breath.
i live with no purpose. a life without death.
no heart to be broken, no mind to expand.
but still i can feel it, like a wandering sand.

will i fade away, turn into a memory.
what else am i good for, at least a story.
shall i be remembered, shall i finally walk free?
shall i finally laugh happily? shall i finally be?

Oscar

Is this one all right?

In Memory...
by J. Lau

May her soul rest in peace,
May your sorrow fade with time;
May you find happiness through memories,
And treasure the time you shared.

Her love for us endures,
Her laughter echoes in our ears;
Her presence will never be far,
And her kindness will always be felt in our soul.

She will be missed,
She will be remembered;
She will be watching us from up above,
And will always be there by our side.

Our memories and love for her will never fade,
She will always be in our hearts;
By you and all of us,
Forever and always.

~Everlasting Mirth~

When I die, I will not be placed beside my pen,
nor will my soul dwindle on this petty earth.
Both will rise, one in glory, the other in fame,
and all will share in my everlasting mirth.

To my dirge, pen strokes will do a final dance,
words that kept me afloat, will no longer wade.
Writes left unpublished will be known to my askance,
yet I will be forgotten, as the ink eventually fades.

The portrait of my life, painted with caliginous words,
will be placed upon my headstone, in a grassy heap.
Forever I'll lay somber, where I've been interred,
for what in life I sowed, shall be eternally reaped.

Blenching pages will not outlive this web I've woven,
within these forums my heart is willingly expelled.
Never will fame surmount the ties of this poetic brethren,
nor will death seperate me from the bonds I've withheld.

The 4 Seasons -Part 1- Dying with the leaves
by ally

Autumn is here.
Those icy winds are blowing and that crisp sun shines.
Though the leaves look beautiful
It's the end of their lives.

A little girl is playing,
Dancing in the leaves,
Such a simple delight.
I remember when that was me.

Her laughter breaks the silence
That was between the trees.
In nature's museum of colour
Amongst those rainbow leaves.

A single leaf floats down.
Upon my palm it lands.
It's brilliant red a contrast,
To my old and pale hands.

I clutch the leaf and smile,
Glad my final days
Were there amongst those leaves,
That now bring beauty to my grave.

can it be about someone who has died like a family member

any moment of this life...

It was just for a glimpse..
and it was just like a dream..
it was real....?
or it was just indescribable feeling...?

the moon has turned blue....
but i still couldn't find any clue...
to fill that empty part..
suddenly we are torn apart...

when i just started to believe...
you made me deceive....
yet i couldn't resist..
cause i am just about to leave...

my world's is going to fall..
but you never give me a call..
my sight is almost gone...
oh no... don't leave me alone...

my eyes soon grow misty..
i never expect the end to be so nasty...
give me a way to flee..
oh,please, set me free....

once again, that miracle happen..
like our tales of 10 years ago..
our pure innocent love..
has break the heaven...

why you never told me..?
you run and hug me...
your tears fall onto my cheek
makes my heart want to leak

girl i love you...
that is the only reason...
all the pain and stain,i could've gone through
every power that still remain
in my soul and in my heart...
any moment of this life...

now let me feel your last soft embrace...
and your feeling toward me
in fact,you have known everything...
as i am no more lasting......

Missing Person - True Story of a Search
by Sarah

I woke up one September morning
My baby never made it home
at that time the only thing I could do
Was call his friends on the phone

When I got ahold of his buddies
None of them had a clue
Where did Will go?
And what should we do?

As day fell into evening
I called to make that report
No ones ever been through
something of this sort

As Sunday evolved to Monday
The Media gathered around
"What do you think happened?"
to each station I made my round

Friends came in from back home
To Search and Poster this town
We'd scour the streets for hours
Long after the sun went down

Day in, Day out
11 Nights crept into day
Encouraging words
Is all anyone could say

But I knew when that last friend
Confirmed my biggest fear
That he was last seen on the bridge
Where to look became more clear

The boats hit the water
But nothing was found
So we combed the streets again
and postered another round

The posters started to age
And the news crews went away
But I still searched for my baby
Until they found him that day

The call then came in
"There has been a clue,
We need you to come down.
We may have found his shoe"

Little did I know
That it was just a clever excuse
To get me to the police station
And tell me the truth

They led me through halls,
Into a small, confined room
Stared at me calmly
Then gave me the news

They've found a body
And that it was Will
But I don't hear whats next
Cause times standing still

What news left their lips
I bet they couldnt see
They told me Will died
But it also killed me

Well I was going to post my poem about explaining my name (flirtingwithDeath) but I choosed to do this one instead lol.

Lead the way~

He moves with out noise
No turning of the page
Darkness surrounds him
Misery and grief is where he lives.
Make a mistake he will show no mercy,
He will see you if you bleed
He will hear if you cry.

Darkness is his love
He will pull you from the light,
No pity he will show
He will stand next to you
As you stare at yourself on
The floor.

He will take you hand
And although you
May be in fear
A choice you still have to make
Without a moment to spare.
Do you deserve to go up in the heavens?
Or go down to the pits?
He will take your hand and
You will lead the way.

Feeling What They May

Now my children,
I'm going to tell you a tale,
Of pain and suffering,
Where everyone fails.
There are no hero's;
No knights to save the day,
There is no more light,
To show you the way.
I'll tell you of a tale,
Now filled with blood;
Once was sweet;
I'll tell you of love.

This story begins,
One grand day,
With a boy and a girl,
Feeling what they may.
I would tell you,
Of the feelings they repress,
But these things you can't explain,
NOr put them to the test.
They were given,
A love anew,
One little chance,
That they all ready blew.
Children in love,
An absurd little thing!
They shouldn't have done it,
For their hearts now sting.
Perhaps they should have,
Given up in the beginning,
For we all new,
There would be no winning.
But they went on,
Not heeding a care,
Not listening,
To what we shared.

They were told,
They could not be,
They were too young,
They could not see.
This love of theirs,
Will tear them apart,
Leave them there,
To pick up their hearts.
Bu alas,
Things soon failed,
And they hid their hearts,
Behind a broken viel.
Things didn't go right,
As they had told them before,
They weren't right together,
They were now sure.

So the boy and girl,
Lonely and lost,
Left each other,
A a most precious cost.
Letting themselves go,
To poison and blade,
They disappeared,
Going where they bade.
But they soon found;
I must say I fear,
They couldn't live in life or death,
Without the other near.
Their souls soon linked,
Together as they may,
Boy and girl,
Feeling what they may.

She watches as they slowly, lower the casket,
Wishing she had never told him to take that shortcut.
If it wasn't for her yelling, he'd still be alive,
As she goes back into her memory archive.

Back in high school, when they first met,
He asked her out, because it was a bet.
Then he realized, money didn't matter,
He didn't care who knew, for he loved her.

They were only freshman, yet madly in love,
They had maturity far up and above-
the rest. Then at 18, he popped the question,
"Will you marry me", and "yes" was her reaction.

Now she cries, after 5 years of marriage,
She wishes more than anything to give him one last message.
That's she sorry, and she loves him more than anything,
She will miss him, and don't worry, he'll always mean something.

The priest then states, "He died in a car,
As he, and his wife, drove to the local bar.
She said, take a shortcut, because it's getting late,
Because tonight was special, since their child, their first date.

A drunk from the bar, must've not seen them,
Because he hit the car, and the car went in flames in mayhem.
Luckily for us, the wife got away,
As we can see, he didn't, that's why were here today."

He says a little pray now, as all throw in roses,
As in his coffin, he eternally snoozes.
All the guest go home, except for his wife,
She says goodbye, he was the love of her life.

"Goodbye, my darling Husband, I've known you so long,
I'm sorry that this happened, I was so wrong.
I'll really miss you, I'll never forget about you,
Goodbye honey, I hope you still love me too."

When you stop and stand there
at the joining of the two roads,
think back upon your history
and the path that you have taken

When you are on your death bed,
what will run through your mind?
will you fear the unknown world
or rejoice the coming journey?

has your life rested upon one
disaster after painful another?
has misconception tore you
from the beings that surround you?

Or have you looked on the length of life
and chosen pathways filled with joy,
with pain, yet always worth the trip.
have you helped mankind, or helped destroy it?

now as you look on darkness, the light fading
remember what you are worth and choose
whether or not to fear the coming journey
and the rest of all eternity

Passing along doors made of fresh oak
It's golden inscriptions danced and spoke
Each door opens to another lost soul
Each with a command from God's control

The journey begins with the fading of light
Losing grip on reality senses and sight
Into darkness you're thrown beyond words
Drifting farther and farther to distants worlds

Into a circular room with torches around
The breaths from within are the only sound
Eyes of darkness judge your final fate
The end of your cold path now await

A shimmer reveals the key to your very own door
Any actions are vain, only dreams can hold more
Whether into burning fire of deadly fatal hell
Or on wings of pureness to heaven's silver bell

Hit the Floor

It's too late to save me now
I've already hit the floor
And the fingers pressing 911
Mean nothing any more

This time it really happened
I looked straight into his eyes
He said it was punishment
As I fell from the blue skies

My life, it flashed before me
And I saw every single sin
The people fade around me
I disappear from the room I'm in

The medics can do nothing
As I am slowly slipping away
The things I would have done
If I knew it was my last day

Suddenly I'm filled with regret
And I wish he could forgive
But I know I've done too wrong
It's a life I wish I could relive

I'm falling faster and faster
Trying to run from the door
But it's too late to save me now
I've already hit the floor

In Memory Of Bev
by ♥~4ever-N-ever~♥

In the dead of night
She let go
And her prescence wasnt there anymore
She loosened her grip
And let her life fly away
She had wrote on a piece of paper

"I had my share of good and bad
I need to let go
Im tired of being sick
And sick of holding on
Im weary of living a cancer-controled life
And knowing Im about to leave my family
Please dont be saddened
I need the best for me
Living off a I.V in a hospital room
Is too much for me to handle
I need to be free
Free of pain and the grips
Of a deadly thing choking me
Im weak and numb
So I need to be going
I wish good luck for you all
Dont grieve for me
Just be happy that Im not hurting anymore"

They found her on her bed
With her eyes closed
And hands crossed
A ray of sunshine beamed across her
From the opened drapes of the hospital room
She looked like an Angel

Pain
Tears are flowing like a river,
The pain shouldn't last forever.
But nothing will ever heal this pain,
It's just too hard to tame.
Taking a knife would feel so good,
Slicing faster that I thought I could.
Blood dripping onto the clean floor,
And it's heading towards the front door.
Slowly I feel my arm going numb,
Knowing my death is soon to come.
Now I'm falling to the ground,
Amazingly not making a sound.
My body is slowly growing cold,
I won't know what it's like to be old.
It's weird how pain can make you feel,
But now I've broken the seal.
The seal leading to the rest of my life,
I'll never get to become someone's wife.
This is where my pain has taken me,
It's taken me from what I wanted to be.

Thoughts of Murder
by Sarah Drew

Sitting still on cold night
Wondering who will be next
Watching as people walk by

Loving couples all around
It disgusts me
Why should they be happy

As I look for my prey
I spot a young man
Perfectly delightful

He is going to die tonight
He does not see me coming
I follow in the shadows

Lurking behind him
Watching his every step
He stops at a house

As he rings the bell
A young girl walk out
Shivers run down my spine

Two for one I see
This is going to be fun
Lets get it started

They stop at a bench
Sitting and holding hands
What pathetic humans

I take the knife out of my pocket
I slowly make my way toward them
Here we go, the show of a life time

I walk behind the girl and slit her throat
The boy sits, shocked
Damn, he ruined the chase

I turn to him and pull out the sting
Wrapping it around his neck
Nice and tight, perfect

He starts to plead
Oh I love this part
Crying over his lost lover

He looks up at me
He sees no mercy
When he looks in my eyes

Only pain and suffering
Too bad for him
If only he helped me when he could

But no, I am just the ex-girlfriend
Oh well, too late
He is dead, as I am smiling

Oh these thoughts of murder
Make it so much fun
Lets do it again

Forever Missed

I don’t understand why.
I don’t know the reason.
What had you done?
Why would He take you?

Was it really your time?
How could it be?
With two small children,
Still to be raised?

Maybe it really was time,
Your time to serve Him.
But did it have to end this way?
The way your life did.

Whatever the reason,
He has taken you from us.
Please remember you are loved
And we be Forever missed!

One More Time

You were more than a cousin,
More than just a relative.
You were a good friend,
Someone I could count on.

I took for granted you’d be there.
I never thought, what if?
Then with just on shot,
You were gone forever.

Your life was taken within minutes,
Time that we all wish,
We could go back and change.
Time we wish we could erase.

Holidays are now different.
A time we used to look forward to,
Is now a time where
We just try to get through it.

I can’t begin to explain
How much I miss you.
I wish I could go back
And see you one more time.

"Stilled"
By: ~Flying High~

As the blood spills down my arm,
My thoughts grow rash.
I cut too deep too long,
This time I will have to pay.

The note I left,
Sorrows shall be found and fed,
When the sun rises in the morning,
Then they will have a better understanding.

My legs, and arms, all cut up,
Bloody, torn,
To match my insides, all torn up!
Never again to have to deal with it.

I am the one in control of fate,
My fate, my walk, my journey...
Will soon end, with a bloody,
Note, body, life, and smile.

I laugh at all of you,
Those I left behind.
I guess I have cut too deep for too long!
Maybe this wasn't such a good end.

I start to second guess myself,
Guessing now its too late.
An addict to just one more cut,
One more dice of the skin.

Its over, ended, stopped.
Finally no more earthly pain,
No suffering, no torment.
Its gone and dealt with.

My body found,
Found by the one who wasn't meant to.
My sister, my little baby sister,
Stumbled upon my body. It was a chance I took!

She laid down beside me,
Her ardent body, against my piercing lifeless one.
The innocence oozing out of her, Death firmly planted on me.
Tears drip silently down her cheek.

Carved into my arm was,
"I'm sorry", how can I not be.
Leaving them, all alone..
It is once again my fault.

Do not mourn for me,
Not a single tear to be shed.
I am not worth your pain,
I'm worth more dead.

RESULTS WILL BE POSTED BY THE END OF THE WEEK!!!!!!

Death
They say the apocolypse will save us all one day.
Life for death, and death for life our soles will pay.
Forbbiden thoughts of our after reality are secrets to stay.
For if they breech to our existence everyone will be forced to decay.
When blue skys turn grey and night turns to day we lay in our bed while hope fills my prayer.
And when our praise makes it to the heavens our feelings will dissarray.
For without evil there would be no room for the power of good to sway.
Forth and back, back and forth the tides turn as revenge leads to betray.
Judgement day will come, and all my sins will be on display.
Laying in the hands of my god, I am forced to obey.
I wan't to leave this place I will say, I want to leave and go far away.
I want to be with the ones I love, back home, even if left in misery.
God looked at me with certain dismay.
Life is like a game you must play.
It decides your strength, and how soon your seems will frey.
Your loved ones in hell will be here one day.
Unless they walk the earth like ghosts to haunt, forever there to stay.
Doomed to the paramount of the under dark, to escape I leave only one way.
If you beg for forgivness, then I will make heed to your pray!

^u guys the contest is closed
