Lay Not A Flower On My Grave
By: Twisted Heart

Lay not a flower on my grave
For the petals of the blooms will fall
Upon the darkness of this place
Comes the breath of midnight's call

Don't tend the ground that covers me
For not the soul resides inside
Just brittle bones are left to see
As you walk the trail of time.

Let not a tear fall from your eye
As memories inside you fade
Don't patronize me with your lies
Live now with choices that you made.

If words can bring you some release
Then speak them now as brightness fades
Don't wait for life in my to cease
Before you think of things to say.

Look not upon my heart as broken
For words have come to calm my soul
And if a thought should now be spoken
inside your mind let heart take hold

For as the darkness captures breath
Pain falls upon me, this lonely night
Now lies in my heart an empty death
Lost for the will to rise and fight

And as I lay in darkened slumber
Heartache has lent a deafened ear
No faith to pull me out from under
The burdened life of wasted years.

A shell now lies in deepened sorrow
No heart to speak of as I fade
And should I die come this tomorrow
Lay not a flower on my grave.

Thankyou, now I need the other 7 please. Take your time, you have 5 days (I think)!

I just finished writing mine last night, but I'm not going to submit it just yet in case I want to make some changes. Is that ok?

That is fine!!! You have 4 more days hunni, take all of the time you need.

Suggestion:
Put the top eight in the first box. I didn't know I was in it until today and tomorrow's the dead line. =/
Just thought I'd warn you, many may not have seen this.

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

Thankyou, I will do that right now!!!

ooh yay! i had a poem idea anyway so i'll get started:D

okay, this is neWWWW!!!
here goes!!!

Angel

Her lips painted in blood,
hollow stomach, caved in for love.
yet you still see none of this,
all you want to do is kiss,
her full red lips.
with your eyes lingering on her hips,
there's too much you have missed.

bandages, once white, now crusted with red,
you can't hear the screams in her head.
yet none of this you see,
none of what is truly she,
her torn soul couldn't flee.
while you break her, searching for the key,
she doesn't stop you, but she knows it was never meant to be.

you'll never know how much she cried,
every time she smiled, she lied.
you say there's nothing more too be said,
watching her sit there, dead,
frozen with dread.
for every word you said she bled,
her eyes so blind, her longing never fed.

from tears her eyes almost swollen shut,
the knife she hid, but still she'll cut.
none of this is in your sight,
you don't understand why she fights,
you are stealing her precious life, her light.
but still she walks so strong into the night,
an angel poised for flight.

okay, i can't say that was my best but i hope you like it!!! x gabriella

Thankyou!!! Just as a forewarning, it will take my about 2 days to judge these, I'm going really indepth with these, i.e. What the meaning bahind it is, grammer errors, the works. You may revise your entry BUT you cannot change it.

Believe What You Must

Believe what you must; live in your dream world,
Keep telling yourself I’m just another normal girl.
Live in your fantasy, keep telling yourself lies,
Despite if you looked, you’d see real pain in these eyes.

Believe what you must, feel what ever you feel,
In your head my problems are fake, nothing is real.
You see the scars, call me an attention hog and freak,
But if you’d just take a second, you’d see I’m weak.

Believe what you must, despite we disagree,
Believe in yourself, while you don’t in me.
Leave me to cope with the pain on my own,
Watch me fall, as I fight this battle alone.

Believe what you must, but don’t be in shock,
When I leave you here, like a boat leaving the dock.
Keep putting up walls, hiding behind lie’s dust,
For you’re lying to yourself…but believe what you must.

~*Who Cares?*~
hope that is ok...:)

Ok, I honestly wrote this for ANOTHER contest [I'm in so many, I lost count,] but I wanted to stay faithful and stayed up tonight writing all the poems I needed. However, I really liked this and hope it's ok I use it here.

And...erm...it's best if you read this with few pauses/breaks. Trust me. =]

Me, I'm Not {Trijan Refrain}

I am a dream of correction,
A naughty you can't touch.
I will be your new infection --
A cost that's way too much.
I will starve you of our dreams;
It is much harder than it seems.
....I will starve you.
....I will starve you.
I will strip you of our dreams

I am a dream of correction,
A devil of a guy.
I am not made of erections;
My heart you cannot buy.
Secrets within my duration,
I am an imagination.
....Secrets within.
....Secrets within.
Erections are a guy's inflation.

I am a dream of correction,
But now my tale must end,
I'm just an imagination,'
A truth you have to bend.
Me, I am not, lies I have told,
But heart and body I've not sold.
....Me, I'm not.
....Me, I'm not.
I may be lies, but my heart's gold.

--------------------------
Understanding: This is speaking of a guy who is not like other guys; he think with his heart not his . . . other thing. o.O
---------------------------

The Trijan Refrain, created by Jan Turner, consists of three 9-line stanzas, for a total of 27 lines.
Line 1 is the same in all three stanzas, although a variation of the form is not to repeat the same line
at the beginning of each stanza. In other words, the beginning line of each stanza can be different.
The first four syllables of line 5 in each stanza are repeated as the double-refrain for lines 7 and 8.
The Trijan Refrain is a rhyming poem with a set meter and rhyme scheme as follows:

Rhyme scheme: a/b/a/b/c/c/d,d refrain of first 4 words of line five /c

Meter: 8/6/8/6/8/8/4,4 refrain/8

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

I NEED EVERYONE ELSES ENTRIES OR ELSE YOU WILL BE EXCLUDED.

OK, I have decided to extend the date another 5 days so everyone can get their poems in on time. Sorry all who have their poems in for the delay!

Hey sorry i took so long to submit this! i was trying to get another opinion on it but no one has said anything about it, so I'm just gonna go ahead and enter it. I hope it's ok :)

Natures Beauty
~BRiDDY~

On a hilltop far away from anything,
I stand so tall, feeling happy.
Natures best things are all in view,
and the sun's shining down on me.

The butterflies and bees gather round me,
and lift me up into the air.
I laugh, I twirl, and scream with delight,
then produce one happy tear.

Floating on air with no fear of falling,
I feel so full and so pure.
My heart is bulging with the goodness of love,
as I'm taken on a magical tour.

I pass the rainbows with dazzling colours,
each one sparkling with dew.
Their colours are being shared with the rest of the world,
and pots of gold are overflowing too.

I listen as the birds sing in harmony,
sending a message to the heavens above.
Angels appear, joining god's gifts at my side,
spreading wings of perfect white dove.

We fly off in the distance to paradise,
through blue skies and clouds of pearl.
And as I look down on nature's beauty,
I know I'm the happiest girl in the world.

That's Ok!!! I don't mind.

Cool, thanks :D

Ok, since no one else is going to submit their poem, I have decided to go ahead and judge. I will however allow them to enter durring the judging process. Thankyou for entering!!!

If its too late then sorry. i wont relly mind if u dont accept it :|

When She Looks At Life
by MezmeRyz

Sometimes she looks at you
And wonders if she could find a clue
To work out what she had done to
Deserve all you have put her through

Her friends don't seem to stick around,
Once a 'best friend' is now an enemy;
Will that happen with every one of them?
Will the cause always be jealousy?

Her past should be over and done with,
And she tries to forget and never miss;
Why do you bring it back and punish her?
Why do you force her to reminisce?

Her sufferings deep, engraved a mile
She thinks to weep, but yet she smiles,
Believes it is not you, but just a trial
Tries to make every moment worthwhile

However hard she tries it always comes back
The need to run-away and flee to freedom
Of her mind and soul, she seems to lose track
And happiness appears to reach her seldom

When she sits down and thinks of you,
Watching you running, she enjoys the sight.
But not of all that you put her through;
Wanting you to be over, relishing in your flight

Sometimes when she looks at you
She wonders if she could find a clue
To work out what she had done to
Deserve all you have put her through

Maybe it's because she is herself,
Have you picked her from all the rest?
Why do you think she deserves this pain?
So that she makes believe it's all a test?

Though the scars may fade, from contact with the blade,
It is deep they have grazed, in the heart they've laid.
And the marks they've made, with tears they are weighed,
Where they began, they have stayed. This is the price she has paid.

*Just in case it is not clear, as mentioned in the title, 'you' is life itself.

No, you are fine. Thankyou!

Hey i was just wondering when the judging is being made..?

She said she'd give another five days from the original date [April 4th] which means April 9th, but then she said it would take about two days to judge them because she's going into depth, so it should be today or around there.

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

Oh ok thanks :]
