Forever Glorious please and thankies

Beneath the city lights, a serene tear shines,
As she curses herself for ignoring the signs,
Tracing the laughter lines beside her bright eyes -
She holds the solemn flowers and softly sighs.

A tear falls down onto the bare hardwood floor,
As she looks to the cross where you silently swore,
Your wedding vows, twenty long years ago;
And outside, the golden stars are faintly aglow -

But she holds her hands up to the charcoal sky,
Shaking, as she remembers all of your petty lies,
And her heart, it sinks to her feet, crumbling in agony,
As she screams: "How could he do this to me?"

But in her aging hands, she holds on tight -
To the solemn flowers, roses - black and white,
And in her vivid blue eyes, the world still turns,
Masking her sincerity, her lesson is learned.

Ah. I'm slowly maneuvering my way out of writer's block...

I'll have to back out of this contest until farther notice. Sorry.

Thanks.

I would like to switch mine to bottled love plz!

Switched, hun. :D

I want Not Too Far Apart please!

Darn, I'm gonna have to back out... I'm just not up to par on this one.. Sorry for the inconvience ((sp?))

As I slowly come
To realize my fate
I don't want it to end
But it is too late

I always thought,
That you could be mine
But now it seems
We have run out of time

I looked into your eyes
Straight into your soul
Please hold me tight
I feel so cold

You kiss my lips
As I fade away
I hope you know
I'll see you again someday

I know you may cry
But please don't fret
For the end is never near
It's not over yet

I watch over you
From my cloudy perch
trying to protect you
To save you from hurt

I know you cant see me
But the feelings are there
But you need more of love
And less of despair

My last dying words
My one final wish
Was to love me forever
And you sealed it with a kiss

I must be going
I know I'm not wrong
That we'll be together soon
It wont be long.

[Pen name - I prefer to go by that]

Forever Glorious

Words written upon paper
unknown talent never found
closet poets hiding
finding inspiration all around

Forever glorious is the writing
of poetry gone unread
little whispers kept inside
like something left unsaid

Forever glorious is the poet
writing all alone
just one person in this world
another name gone unknown

Glorious is the nighttime sky
to the poet that is under
finding words to say the meaning
of the rain and thunder

Forever glorious is the heart
that gives meaning to my writing
in a battle between pen and sword
the pen will keep on fighting

Glorious is the passion
That fuels someone to write
filling spaces upon pages
until finally, it is right

Words written upon paper
unknown talent never found
closet poets hiding
finding inspiration all around

Sorry it took me so long.. Here it is. Enjoy. =]

Buttoned Dreams {Terzanlle}

Due to syllable count, here's a better understanding of the first line: "Deep on the out" means you're beautiful on the outside "and shallow out" means but you're shallow on the inside.
----------------------------------
Deep on the out and shallow in,
With a shameful heart of "gold,"
Deep on the out and shallow in.

Don't smile; you're not that bold,
Then shove handfuls down your throat,
With a shameful heart of "gold."

Give up; you can't ride this boat,
You'll laugh hard and I'll scream,
Then shove handfuls down your throat.

Take your last and willess dreams,
And shove them all far away;
You'll laugh and I'll scream.

This is end of your happy days,
You'll shutter when you realize;
And shove them all far away.

Your dreams are what you will despise,
Deep on the out and shallow in,
You'll shutter when you realize,
Deep on the out and shallow in.

Good Job Guys
There's not many poems, so if no one else enters before I judge ( May 20th ) then I will only pick one or two of these as winners.

-Teria.

Spring time blues

Remember last spring,
On the beach running slow,
like an old Baywatch episode,
thinking one day we'd grow
up.
But it was never the right time...

And the trees grew coats
and lost them again all too soon.
Now I'm drinking neat shots
And looking at old photographs in my room.

Photos damaged by the flame of time,
And each silver droplet lines my eye,
Falling hard, but not half as hard,
As you dropped me...

The seasons run in circles,
Circles drawn with a blunt compass,
Who lost its sense of humour,
When a kid in maths dropped it hard,
But not half as hard as you dropped me...

The light shines through my curtain,
To make sure that I'm certain,
That a year has run its course,
Oh but needless to say I'm sure.

Because those pretty little bluebells,
Ring the spring time blues,
And last year you bought me a bunch,
Now they just remind me of you...

Spring came so easily,
And now this quarter's charred,
But I dropped that vase hard,
But not half as hard as you dropped me...

I'm sure this one has been lost to judging since not that many people entered. Just wondering if it would be judged

I'll get it done hunni.
I have to babysit tonight, and work tomorrow morning.
So, late tomorrow night they'll be done.

I forget how many places/prizes I had but I'll just do 2 or 3 now.

<3Teria.
