    starlight starbright (unedited)

    starlight starbright
    in the middle of the night
    just give up, don't have to fight
    starlight starbright

    starlight starbright
    don't ever let it out of sight
    just walk into the burning light
    starlight starbright

    starlight starbright
    as the sky turns flowing white
    as the birds into the air take flight
    starlight starbright

    starlight starbright
    in the middle of the night
    for once everything is right
    starlight starbright.

    yeah, i don't think this'll win, but i tried.

    Eternal Sunshine

    It was a peaceful morning
    Feeling the breeze on my skin
    At the balcony still waiting
    For sunrise like a gean

    Rain started to fall when i was on my way
    To work i shouldn't have been late today
    But when i saw a man that looks like a kane
    Sun started to shine brightly again

    He asked me to date after a week
    I gave him two girls and we're fine
    It won't stop shining no need to seek
    I finally found my eternal sunshine

    Hope you like it

    In the event that NESSA doesnt submit, please accept this:

    SANDS OF TIME

    I’ve started smelling you in roses,
    feeling you in the damp, dim evenings,
    and seeing you in its lilac dew.

    Meaning it was that I’d searched for,
    and meaning it was, that you gave me.
    This cold oil had never known
    that there would come a day, when
    your loving flame would kiss my lamp
    and thaw my miseries away…
    Now amidst your loving arms,
    I am draped in peace, and a warmth
    that I think my heart has grown addicted to…
    The light illuminates, yet warns me,
    and I can see the misty road just far enough
    to tell me that it’s wise to be scared,
    for reality is harsh, and the past tells me
    that there are no hands of fate or circumstance
    that do not believe in cruelty;
    none that do not like lashing sand-castles
    with their unrelenting waves of time.
    Even a semblance of a parting is piercing
    so if the winds of change ever cruelly blow,
    and our time together is set in stone,
    I know not what will remain of me…

    But I’ll never stop smelling you in roses,
    feeling you in the damp, dim evenings,
    and seeing you in its lilac dew.

    Because I can’t.

    sorry about the commetn thing, here's my poem.

    cloudy mind

    When i look in the eyes of the love i find,
    i see how amazing and so Devinne,
    the look in your eyes says that your lost,
    I'll stand beside you till you find what you want,
    although i love you and your cloudy mind,
    the tears i hide way deep inside,
    won't be seen by a guy so fine,
    i can't help but to wander why you don't see,
    i love you so much, you should be with me,

    the look in your eyes have become so dark,
    it's like your hiding something from me I'm afraid to know what,
    there is no lightness, not even a spark.
    you know what is funny,
    that you still have my heart,
    i can't let you go it hurts so much,
    so you'll always have a little part of my heart.

    to see you with her talking and laughing,
    brings tears to my eyes that once were filled,
    with the love you gave me forever until,
    she came back to you and took you away,
    best friends forever you said we'd stay,
    you see what has happen since she came along,
    she took you form me and now we're done,
    not even close like we used to be,
    i still remember the days you loved me.

    your eyes are so dark, why can't i see through,
    just like how i used to do.
    it's just to hard to be like we we're,
    you just say that probably cause of her.
    well good bye my friend,
    i love you so much but this is the end.
    the clouds in your mind have caused you to pretend,
    we're not friends we never were,
    i mean nothing to you so good bye good friend.

    Midnight Massacre

    Storms softly thunder
    An ebony of decay
    Held to perfection.

    ------

    For perfection,
    Not the living
    Make the largest
    Demands; we die
    For eternity.

    For perfection,
    Hell speaks strongly
    Over tomorrow’s
    Forgotten worries
    Burning ruby red.

    For perfection,
    Only Heaven
    May speak. We must
    Stand strong against
    These treacherous lies

    For perfection,
    Not the living,
    Make the largest
    Demands; we die
    For eternity.

    Vanilla Sky {Terzanelle}
    by HiddenxSoul

    The soul was like a beautiful lullaby,
    From the opening of welcoming windows,
    To the loving heart of a vanilla sky.

    The warmth so eloquently wraps around us,
    As we wait excitedly, holding on tight, clutching.
    From the opening of welcoming windows.

    Standing side by side, our bodies touching:
    Hand on hand, precious heart to heart,
    As we wait excitedly, holding on tight, clutching.

    No one can pull our embracing arms apart,
    As our excitement increases at a loving pace.
    Hand on hand, precious heart to heart.

    The awakening of a precious new place;
    A new image surrounding a brand new day,
    As our excitement increases at a loving pace.

    Together we surpass this old life, and make our way,
    To the loving heart of a vanilla sky.
    A new image surrounding a brand new day:
    The loving heart of a vanilla sky.

    --

    This is my first ever Terzanelle. I hope you enjoy.

    Moonlight Magic

    Sitting on my patio just enjoying the cool night air
    Clearing my mind of all worries, tensions and care
    Shining so bright is the full moon tonight
    Amongst millions of stars sparkling so ever bright

    The flame of the candles perform their routine dance
    Soft music in the background leaves me in a trance
    I feel a soft touch on my shoulder so bare
    And soon a soft blow through the back of my hair

    He slowly pulls me up in locks me in his embrace
    Chills run up my spine as my heart begins to race
    One hand moves down and curves around my hip
    While the other finds my fingers and form a tight grip

    Our bodies up close and move with the tune
    Passions begin to unveil as we dance under the moon
    We gaze in each others eyes as our lips begin to quiver
    Longing to meet I feel a sudden shiver

    On his shoulder I lean in to rest my head
    He breaks my glide and kisses me instead
    A deep passionate kiss we share under the stars
    The most romantic experience we've shared by far

    He slowly pulls back and looks into my eyes
    Says "I love you very much" and leaves a deep sigh
    He whispers in my ear "My Dearest Romantic,
    How sensual it is to create this Moonlight Magic"

    Snow Patrol [Villanelle]
    by: Ciao

    Covered lies, unseen by naked eyes
    Footprints trample the new fallen snow
    All the pain, hidden by more lies

    The pain, you can plainly realize
    But no one's supposed to know
    Covered lies, unseen by naked eyes

    Slipped away, as she passes and dies
    Laying on the ground, upon her, you bestow
    All the pain, hidden by more lies

    Solemn tears fall from reddened eyes
    Blood mixed with the lace-white snow
    Covered lies, unseen by naked eyes

    Hiding in the depths of Death's despise
    Where no one has yet to go
    All the pain, hidden by more lies

    Snow patrol, searching from the skies
    All because she didn't say no
    Covered lies, unseen by naked eyes
    All the pain, hidden by more lies

    ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
    A Villanelle is a nineteen-line poem consisting of a very specific rhyming scheme: aba aba aba aba aba abaa.

    The first and the third lines in the first stanza are repeated in alternating order throughout the poem, and appear together in the last couplet (last two lines).
