Till the sun sets

Sun shall soon rise
And it will stop cries
The dust will clear
And peace is real near

Please make it stop
Make bullets all drop.
Moms soon cry
Asking God why?

Bodies fill the streets
Death rate it completes.
Rivers filled with tears,
brings out our worst fears.

May we meet an Angel
May peace finally come.
May eyes once more twinkle
May hearts all be one.

December comes again
It happens every year
Yet children never seem to win
And bullets are all they hear.

But daylight still is safer
A time when they move on
The people all are gentler
Till the setting sun endangers everyone

(...whitles...)

if that title's not ok i can change it

Can i reserve empty mailbox?

Can i reserve 'incessant love' please? x

ok Question- what do you mean 2 favorites?

okay to answer OSCAR's question your poem wont be judged unless you change it around a little so that the LAST line or FIRST line has the words "setting sun" with those two words right next to each other so if you can rearange your last 2 lines so the "till the setting sun" isnt the second to last it'll be okay but as of right now its not following the rules

sorry =/

but you can still re-write it and send it back and take your time you have till jan 20th

to answer LAUREN's question the 2 favorites means if you win first place you will be added to my favorite's list and my friend's favorite list

who's your friend?

contaminated love please.

Without a jacket
--------------------

Shivering in the cold
As the rain pours down
Drops run down my face
As I walk out of town

Every step takes me closer
To be free of all the pain
I have nother left here
Nothing left to gain

Its getting dark now
And my eyes are tired
Laying in the pouring rain
Laying alone, i'm not scared

Its morning again now
And I hear voices around
They are all looking at me
As I lay still on the ground

I can hear the loud sirens
And I try to figure out why
But I'm too cold to take notice
My eyes wont let me cry

They are coming to me
They dont even make a racket
I'm now about to die today
All because I'm here without a jacket

Can I reserve Roses in a Swamp, please?

Living in Reverse

It seems my life's living in reverse
Not quite what I had planned
I did all the good stuff first
But it's unraveling through my hands

I had you, but you slipped away
Mine but for just a minute
Tears that fall but only fade
As I go back within it

I can watch it happen again
Feel it overwhelm my soul
But as if it's all pretend
You leave, and I lose control

My foot slams on the gas
The gear is in reverse
Watching our times pass
Good turns to the worst

I can't believe that it's done
That what we had is over and through
I'm living my life in reverse
Just so I can relive the parts with you

By: Charisma
(very nice contest!)

Tear down the grey
This bleak wall that restrains us
Break me free, let me see
The brilliant colors around me

Tear down the fake
This woven web of false accusations
Don't act suprised, Do .not. criticize
We know that we are the ones who lie

Tear down the hate
Stop the ignorant and unjust crimes
Leave us be, Learn to see
Being yourself is what you should be.

Tear down the grey,
Tear down the fake,
Tear down the hate,
'Cause it may not happen today.
but Karma's a bitch
and It'll surly come
back around some day.

~~~~

Not at all what i had planned this to be.
but things change all the time.
just as though i didn't know,
that this little saying would rhyme. =]

x33Lauren

if i do come back before it's over... could i change my poem if i want to? because i often do that with all my poems. just wondering.. cause i don't really like it..

x33Lauren

unreserve mine pls.

it's kinda hard.....and very emotional

yes you can change it as long as you dont change it after the 21st of jan

Clear the Rain:

The storm outside
Hides my liquid pain
My tears fall in rhythm
With the heartless rain

I need to be concealed
From all reality
This hurt is no good
It reminds me of my mortality

… … …

Yes I used to feel this way
But I’m trying so hard to change
But I can only do this
If these tears will go away

Yes I used to feel this way
But I will change only to good
I’m going to get through this
I will be understood

So clear the rain for me
As I dry these tears
I’m trying so hard to beat this
Instead of drowning in these fears

I’m no longer attached
I’ve broken this earthly chain
I will get through this
I must clear the rain

Hope yah like it! :)

i really like your poem but you need to change the last line so that "clear the rain" is in it with no words between it

sorry =/

RUNNING LOW ON TAPE.
please.
thank you.

Running Low On Tape.

You've been my shelter when it rains.
My bandage while in pain.
My knight when in trouble,
And, my savior while in rubble.

You've patched my broken heart,
Seconds after it broke apart.
With the tape in one hand,
And, my mind in another land.

You tore it off piece by piece.
Letting none of me decease.
Taped me up, made me brand new,
My happiness was alive because of you.

You held me while I cried.
You forgave me while I lied.
As the tape got smaller,
Our love grew farther.

But, you're running low on tape.
And, I'm too scared I might escape.
The passion of this love as it disappears.
And, giving into my utmost fear.

Losing the one who held me together..

i'll take fenced in. thanks

i'll try elemental thoughts...

-edit-

Shadows in the Dark

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray that the darkness won’t keep.
These shadows dance around my head,
As I try to sleep in my lonely bed.

Feeling alone amongst the black,
I hope the sun will come back.
For the shadows stare at me with evil eyes,
And they laugh at me whenever I cry.

They reach for me, though they aren’t real,
They try to touch me, but they have no feel.
These lonely nights are really leaving a mark,
The lonely nights are filled with shadows in the dark.

~*Who Cares?*~

to PLEASE KILL ELMO it doesnt suck.. however.. i dont know if i said it had to be a poem because i assumed that it would be, but your entry is a song and it needs to be a poem, also the words "elemental thoughts" are not in the first or last line.. and they need to be in one of them

sorry..

you can edit/re-enter a poem following the rules if you would like, you have until the 21st so take your time

to "S U P E R T E R I A" i absolutely love you poem, but you did not include "running low on tape" in the first or last line, i see it in the last stanza but it has to be in the last line.. im so sorry because i really love you poem. but you can change it and i will judge it if you fix it by the 21st

sorry :/
