The Setting of the Sun
By: Twisted Heart

Along the path of loneliness
She walks with tender steps
Searching for the silent man
Who woke her from her rest.

Upon the darkened streets
She treads the cobble stone
Silent as the gentle breeze
With haste, she goes alone.

Into the garden filled with death
She sees the man approach
His eyes are shining red as fire
He envelopes her in his cloak

A scent of doom has beaconed her
And though she tries to run
His eyes now hold her captive
In the setting of the sun.

His smile is one of greedy lust
With fangs that tip her skin
They sink into her fleshy neck
To drain her veins again.

Just a taste to satisfy
His thirst, but not to kill
Because he knows another night
He'll call her at his will.

He'll beacon her from slumber
And though she'll want to run
He'll hold her captive with his eyes
In the setting of the sun.

ONE WEEK LEFT

Do I not have a challenger? Will not someone please write a poem? Am I going to win by default? HAS THIS BEEN FORGOTTEN?

Rusty Broken Chains [Kyrielle]
by ѕ¢αяℓєт.ℓιρѕ ♥

Climbing on jagged steps from the hell below
Rips and tears throughout her soul she does sew
Her body cleared of dirt, yet a little still remains
All evil she has shed, except her rusty broken chains..

Quickly sucking the deadly poison out of the snake bite
Running from the blackness, chasing after the white
Bleaching away at her mind, washing away the stains
All evil she has shed, except her rusty broken chains..

Her past slowly fading, finally fitting in with the crowd
Cleaning herself up, floating happily on her own cloud
A body now pure and free, yet evil still lingers in veins
All evil she has shed, except her rusty broken chains..

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
Kyrielle is written in quatrains. Each quatrain has a refrain, which usually appears in the last line of the stanza. There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle has, but must have at least 3. There must be a rhyme scheme.

3 DAYS LEFT > only have two entrees so far... =(

Threnody

Sleeping in the middle of a memorial park
Flummoxed by my clay which seems so dark
Murmuring a cradlesong on the peak of my throat
Feels like my soul has been treated as scapegoat

Moon seems to bleed since i took my last breath
Stars seem to fade on the honour of my last rites
Escaping memories from the prison of my past
Breaking walls around my grave in my lonely nights

They said an axe under my pillow would give me peace
And they threw holy sand from my face to my knees
Brushed birch twig on the edges of my shining grave
Ripped myocardium apart from the love they all gave

I Am A Lie {Malisus}

I
Am a lie.
Deciet-
Is surely concrete.
I have no proof;
I, a lie, know no truth.
```````````````````````````````````
A malisus has one stanza with six lines. The first line has 1 syllable. The second has 3. The third has 2. The forth has 5. The fifth has 4. The sixth has 6. The rhyme scheme is "aabbcc".

Open Wound

A tourniquet i need,
For that from which i bleed.
The pain is real
it just won't heal
No more will i show greed.

i sit in here, without a light
no happiness in sight.
and with the flame i feel
my skin will soon just peel
This is one thing i cannot fight.

Blood spilling out, i cry in pain
my screams drown out the sound of rain
So close to death
still i have breath
But still my life is being drained.

I lie in a pool of red
Why am i still not dead
Can it not stop
Can i not drop
Has not enough been said.

for everything i said, i do apologize
so please don't let me rise
I'm sorry God for insulting you
i did not know it would hurt me too
But please don't ignore my cries.

So i guess that now it won't go in reverse.
Through all of this i've only made it worse.
so the Pain will not cease
But me, death, will not release.
So i guess immortality was in fact a curse.
