    Okay...I'm sure you're sick of title contests. But they seem to be popular and get decent feedback. So here are my titles. And there are only a few basic rules. Please read them carefully and double check your poems to make sure they follow them because in my last contest it caused for some issues. And I don't want that to happen again.
    Rules:
    1. NO PROFANITY! (not even the little words)
    2. MUST RHYME!
    3. NOTHING RELIGIOUS (so it's fair)
    4. NOTHING PROVOCATIVE! (that's your own business!)
    5. Only two reserves per title.
    6. Must use the title somewhere in your poem!

    Titles

    Love's Only Everything
    1.DONE xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex
    2.DONE Twisted Heart

    When Friends Stopped Being Enough

    Love's Only Everything
    By: Twisted Heart

    It could be a beacon, leading your wounded heart
    Into the depths of understanding, pulling you apart

    A sweet caress upon the soul as you ponder truth
    Inside your mind's confusion, there is no substitute.

    A gentle rain upon the thoughts that linger deep inside
    A hunger for the feel of drifting dreams, it comes to hide.

    Simple words that are said behind the lies deceit
    Looking for the comfort of another's sweet release.

    A touch of human kindness, that has come too close
    It blows the tender petals of love's pure summer rose.

    A dip into the breath of the solemn song it plays
    Giving just a gentle kiss upon the heart that's frayed.

    Forgiveness for the taking of a whisper in the wind
    Among the stars forsaking of a thought to hope again.

    Beneath the moon it taunts us with its slumbered eyes
    It blankets the illusion of a star-crossed alibi

    To know these truths and still we welcome all the hurt it brings
    We stand strong in the knowledge, that love's only everything.

  • *Charisma*
    18 years ago

    Um...maybe I missed it, but if you could Twisted Heart please make sure you use the exact line Love's Only Everything in your poem. The reason I'm asking for it exactly is because I like these lines...personal reasons, and I would like to seem them used as is. Thank you everyone!

    Look What You've Done To Me

    You broke a heart so loyal and true
    Trust was all I asked of you
    Your wicked ways I didn't see
    Just look what you've done to me

    I tried to live and love again
    Patched my heart, tried to pretend
    The past will never let me be
    Just look what you've done to me

    Left to hide behind my wall
    Built so it will never fall
    Know now I cannot be free
    Just look what you've done to me

    I'll trust no one forever more
    I'll not bask on love's bright shore
    Sentence delt, alone I'll be
    Just look what you've done to me

    Love's Only Everything {Triolet}

    Sweet surrender - eternal bliss,
    An endless touch and mending kiss,
    Forbidding love to reminisce,
    Sweet surrender - eternal bliss.
    Love's only everything, amiss
    A templed body and fast kiss.
    Sweet surrender - eternal bliss,
    An endless touch and mending kiss.

    `````````````````````````````````

    A Triolet is a poetic form consisting of only 8 lines. Within a Triolet, the 1st, 4th, and 7th lines
    repeat, and the 2nd and 8th lines do as well. The rhyme scheme is simple: ABaAabAB, capital
    letters representing the repeated lines.

    "Look at what you've done to me"
    -becca

    im lying here
    because of you
    so helpless from
    what ive been through

    its been so long
    waiting around
    sitting on this
    crimson ground

    im dying here
    in pools of blood
    im so unraveled
    so undone

    im hanging by
    a single thread
    of memories
    inside my head

    and soaking wet
    from all this rain
    im so defeated
    by disdain

    Im desperate and
    Im not ashamed
    I need you to
    Take all this pain

    Im crying tears
    For you to see,
    Just look at what
    You’ve done to me…

  • CondescendingHeart

    This poem is weird because it kinda has a twist at the end. hope you like it!

    When friends stop being enough;
    Condescending;Heart.

    When friends stop being enough,
    Describes him and I,
    He wanted more than i could give,
    And I had to say goodbye.

    Before we became of this,
    And are lives became so twisted,
    Are friendship was uncomplicated,
    And no awkwardness existed.

    We'd laugh and giggle,
    Just sit around and play,
    We did everything spur of the moment,
    And we lived day by day.

    Then all the sudden,
    Things had got weird,
    After what he had said to me,
    my smile disapeared.

    It felt weird to look at him,
    And hugging felt so wrong,
    But I couldn't stand to lose him,
    Though his feelings were so strong.

    suddenly i starting lying to him,
    saying i was busy when i was not,
    It hurt me to do it,
    But our friendship I'd forgot.

    Years down the road,
    I thought of him and smiled,
    Glad I'd changed my mind,
    As I rocked our year old child.

  • *Charisma*

    "Breathing Keeps Me Alive"
    by Tine Delien

    Breathing keeps me alive
    for every step I make
    for every single jump I take
    I thought for so many years

    A new type of breathing
    it just rose up to me
    it seemed to be different, see
    it's all about you

    you brighten up every spot
    of me and everything I did
    I'm so dependant, I hid
    that I can't breathe without you

    I'm so scared that you'll leave
    even though I know you'll stay
    every single night I pray
    for you to be with me forever

    because breathing keeps me alive
    and breathing, it goes through you
    and the love you give me too
    I wouldn't cope with going on without you

    Xx I Don't Want to Be Over You xX

    I didn’t want our love to end
    I wanted it to be forever
    I didn’t see this happening
    I thought we’d always be together

    How could you walk away from us
    Did I mean nothing at all?
    All the things you said to me
    Are getting harder to recall

    I don’t want you as a memory
    I want you by my side
    I’d always thought you’d marry me
    And I’d be your stunning bride

    How should I start to move on
    When you’re always on my mind?
    I can’t stop the way I feel
    Or keep my heart confined

    I guess at the end of the day
    I don’t want to be over you
    But that leaves me in a hard place
    And I just don’t know what to do ©

  • *Charisma*
    18 years ago

    Okay, I decided to ease up on using the EXACT title in your poem, ONLY because there were a few where they did it a little different but they were very good and I didn't want to disqualify over something so minute. Anyhoo...though I felt these poems were my favs for two different reasons I didn't want to place one over the other. So tied for first place is

    Twisted Heart & becca ♥!
    Congrats you two!

    But an honorable mention must go to debbylyn who shared a beautiful poem too!

    Okay, would the first place winners please leave me 2 poems you want comments AND votes on!

    And debbylyn, would you leave me 1 to comment and vote on.

    Thank you to ALL contestants. I look forward to more contests!
