    -Parquette-

    Cease Fire
    By: Twisted Heart

    Upon the final day of war, he stood shaken
    With the death toll reaching over a thousand
    In sad remorse, he hung his head and cried
    His mind could not grasp the sounds forsaken.

    Upon the final day of war, he stood shaken
    The cannons silenced by a peaceful hand
    His bayonet was hanging by his side
    As he staked the flag upon the foreign land.

    Upon the final day of war, he stood shaken
    As he wept for the soldiers who had died
    Like brothers, they became upon this sand
    Strangers who now found comfort to confide.

    Upon the final day of war, he stood shaken
    As distant sunrise filtered in his eyes
    In relief, he sank upon the burning sand
    This war had turned a boy into a man.

    Love

    A love like that
    What is the need to chat?

    When She's Alone {Parquette}

    Tears roll down her cheeks when she's alone,
    Sitting beneath the nights blackened dull sky,
    Watching few synthetic shooting stars flash,
    Leaning against baby brothers gravestone.

    Tears roll down her cheeks when she's alone,
    Begging for the chance to erase goodbye,
    And the running mascara from her eyelash,
    Which tarnished her skin from the tears she cries.

    Tears roll down her cheeks when she's alone,
    All her languished emotions begin to clash,
    When lightening strikes from the sky up high,
    Her fears are revealed with a sudden crash.

    Tears roll down her cheeks when she's alone,
    As she whispers to herself, "Why, why, why?",
    Overwhelmed thoughts ponder with each gash,
    Bleeding internally into the earths ash!

    this poem really sucks but its the first one ive ever done(of parquette) and the first time ive heard of this type...so here goes....hope you dont hate it tooo much =\

    The night is filled with twists and turns {Parquette}

    The night is filled with twists and turns,
    As Gods crimson tears flow through my gaping wrists,
    Living my life behind lies and deceit,
    I begin to cry as the wounds start to burn,

    The night is filled with twists and turns,
    I try to divert the pain by clenching my fists,
    I cringe knowing Im about to be beat,
    Preoccupied by thoughts, Why do I exist,

    The night is filled with twists and turns,
    My mind is sending me into my own retreat,
    Trying to act like the pain, I dont consist,
    But Im getting closer to my defeat,

    The night is filled with twists and turns,
    I will let go if this feeling persists,
    I can finally end this life of deceit,
    My days are now entering the last stage; complete

    Pushed Away {Malisus}

    My,
    Green eyes cry,
    At night,
    Struggling to fight,
    For one more day,
    Where I'm not pushed away.

    My Heart [-Parquette-]

    Mystery hides deep in my heart.
    Conveying thoughts left only to the unseen
    Hiding away the scars of yesterday
    You stole away a small, little part

    Mystery hides deep in my heart.
    At times, the secrets make me want to scream
    All I want is for you to come back and stay
    And to stop these tears that constantly stream

    Mystery hides deep in my heart.
    And the memories that my heart tries to convey
    How could I feel this at barely sixteen?
    I just don’t know what else there is to say

    Mystery hides deep in my heart.
    As I try to pass off my manner as serene
    I just want to hear those three words you say
    And I pray to God you’ll come back to me one day

    -.-*-.-*-.-

    well, here's my first attempt at one, it got easier as I went along, great contest!!

    Ciao xx

    Tears [Malisus]

    Tears
    Reflect fear
    Of pain
    Mixed with tainted bain
    Bitter sweets die
    Suffocated by lies

    Okay, its quite crap but this is my first attempt of a poem like this.. it was hard =( It was fun to do though. It was a huge challenge!

    Xx I Fell In Love xX

    I fell in love with a special guy
    He put my broken heart back together again
    Wiped away the tears and showed me the light
    Gave my soul wings and taught me how to fly

    I fell in love with a special guy
    He showed me all the things that love could contain
    Painted a picture with a romantic sight
    Where love is released from the hurt and pain

    I fell in love with a special guy
    He has helped me through each day and each night
    Released me from the bind of the heartbreak chain
    Took me in his arms and held on to me tight

    I fell in love with a special guy
    He showed me how easy love is to maintain
    Because when you’re in love there’s no need to fight
    Love is the only cure that makes everything right

    PARQUETTE

    Lustful eyes

    Lustful eyes scan the night
    Eyes fall upon me
    I have the one I love,
    but declining is still a fight.

    Lustful eyes scan the night.
    While the shameless heart targets me
    Eyes brazenly emerged determined to rule
    Only my lovers eyes shall I see.

    Lustful eyes scan the night.
    Thy tender innocence on display,
    Jealous hearts about to break,
    as it's only my lovers name I shall say.

    Lustful eyes scan the night,
    dancing indisputably with thy other half
    develish eyes hoplessly departed
    as our romance goes on uncharted.

    Never written a poem like this before.................

    -Parquette-

    Heaven condemns me among the black ashes
    Where sleep is death and life is pain
    Every door leads to more insanity
    Every turn is a wish met by smashes

    Heaven condemns me among the black ashes
    Though they made me numb, the truth still remain
    Even in the light, I drink with enmity
    Little stars of ice imprint inside my brain

    Heaven condemns me among the black ashes
    In this dark chamber I'll never be free
    My room is flooded with clear acid rain
    Each drop filled with my words of pleas

    Heaven condemns me among the black ashes
    Burning the blood of my fragile veins
    Brewing deep within lies profanity
    All the torture is directed at me

    I have no proof;
    I, a lie, know no truth.
