CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED

Still Waiting

Everyday reminding you
With ache and pain on my chest
I'm bruised for anything to do
Still aching,still waiting to nest

Still taking the time,you should have arrived here
'No I can't really believe yet I haven't seen
Maybe he was late to wear
Still counting,still here I've been

Still waiting with a bouquet of red roses
They're dried just like my soul
This is the second spring nature snoozes
Still broken,still sole

Still wearing that white dress you bought and hoping
To see you after that bunch of years
The heart of me into million pieces now sweeping
Still crying,still into fears

The visitors have already left this place
With a ruined dress and a sad smile
Looking over the past I need to face
But I'm still loving you,still your bride

I dunno if this qualified enough,but i hope that way

As I stand there gazing into your eyes,
I remember everything that happened.
Now you have come to claim your prize,
As you have succeeded in your game.

Nights of terror and torture but you did not mind,
You were only thinking of claiming your prize.
I could not believe i could have been so blind,
As i layed there cold, washed in my own blood.

You ripped me of my innocence,
The only bit of hope and faith i had.
I thought you had at least one bit of sense,
But you carried on as if nothing had ever happened.

Why did you do that to me?
I thought you said that you loved me.
Well that was too good to be true,
I always knew that we could never be.

Wishing you were behind bars,
Where every inch of you deserves to be
Instead your out their buying flash cars,
With what was supposed to be our money.

Everywhere you go, every step you take,
I will be there, watching, haunting you.
And as you sit there beside our lake,
I will make sure your remaining life is hell.

I well never stop this fight,
To get you where you are supposed to be
Your destination I have in sight,
And in my eyes there is no Giving Up.

Deadly Photographs

by Bri [x]

Deadly photographs spread across the floor
Crimson tears have fallen upon them
Reminiscing or regretting? I don't know anymore
Took life for granted; now it's gone in a flash

Living within the shadows of my haunted past
Pushing away the ones that loved me most
I never knew that my time could come so fast
Took life for granted; now it's gone in a flash

Clenching onto the pillow, crying myself to sleep
Blade ridding away all sadness, for just that moment
Flashbacks; rocking back and forth as I weep
Took life for granted; now it's gone in a flash

Deadly photographs spread across the floor
Took life for granted; now it's gone in a flash

Thankyou. =D Well i hope you enjoy reading it.

Xx Orange xX

What word rhymes with Orange?
It's starting to puzzle me
With all the words we use each day
To find one should be easy

It's like trying to rhyme 'purple'
Nothing's ever really right
It's like 'silver' or even 'month'
Finding a match is such a fight!

There has to be a word out there
Start to run through the alphabet
'Lorenge?' 'Torenge?' Those aren't even words
Why's this rhyme so hard to get

I can't find a single match
I've now wasted so much time
This is getting so impossible
I can't find anything that rhymes!

So what word rhymes with Orange?
This quest is getting really tough
I can't find a single word...
Syringe! That's close enough!

This still needs a lot of work..

'I'll See Your Heart And Raise You Mine'

Here she comes, the Epitome of Grace
This nervousness, it will not leave
"And lead us not into temptation"
I feel like Adam, on his first glance of Eve

The vacuum of space, constricts my chest
The crowd parts for a clearer view
"And lead us not into temptation"
On Noah's Ark, I hope i'm sat next to you

One year on, I'm still the same
We meet in the mornings and then go to college
"And lead us not into temptation"
I ate your apple from the tree of knowledge

This game we play
We're doing fine
I'll see your heart
And raise you mind

A Flower Paperweight

Behold!
My crystal crypt
Lavender blooms rejoice
In eternal beauty
Yet
Within this cold embrace
I live not
This vision of perfection
Holds not my soul
Nor my quickening heart
In fragrant Spring's rebirth
Death bathes my petals

This hasn't been exposed much, but I hope you like it.

Oh, Bright Morning Star

Oh bright morning star
How golden white is your name --
Shine for a praise.
Swirl in the Milky Way,
And masquerade with gods.

Let not the moon
Tell where to press your toes;
You are much brighter --
Strike up against his name
And show how much you're worth.

Smile a smile,
With your eyes shining brightly;
Support your head high;
You are the god of nature,
To tower over the earth.

Softly sing a song,
To gentle crying children;
Make your image
To those who do not believe
In what stars can do at night.

Soar over Earth
With your peace making music.
You can quell Gods
With your peaceful image
And your time-shaping lives.

Let not the moon
Tell you where to sing your song.
The Gods will listen
And storms will bow to you
In all simple glory.

Oh, bright morning star
How golden white is your name --
Shine for praise.
Swirl in the Milky Way,
And masquerade with gods.

Black and White Photograph

A black and white photograph, laying in the drawer-
Splattered with memories; too sad to just ignore.
Four faded edges, with the folded creases torn;
The picture held the spots where it was plainly worn.

The black and white smiles, holding so much joy,
A picture perfect romance, between a girl and boy.
The shades of black contrasting the light tints of white-
Showing how sometimes things aren't always alright.

He left you one day and you couldn't even stop him;
It just wasn't your fault; it was his silly little whim.
Gone, he left, like the bullet out of his gun-
Brought on by the thought of promised fun.

Well, times were more different than he ever expected-
He never could've realized all the things, so unexpected.
People were dying, shot right in front of his eyes
This isn't what he had ever wanted, he realized.

He couldn't come home and it broke your heart in two.
"What," you ask, "did he get himself into?"
The hatred spread by all the bullets, flying-
Each day, the body count slowly rising.

Then one day, a sealed letter came in the mail.
The writing was simple, written kind of pale.
"Sweetie, I Love You. I'm coming home soon.
No need to worry, I'll be home around June."

June came and went, without a soldier's return-
The news would come then; she would have to learn.
"He died fighting." the letter had read-
Crying, she took in what he had already said.

He never came home that cold night in June-
She realized just what happened, all too soon.
He was gone and there would be no more laughs.
Dust began to cover the Black and White Photograph.

Spilled perfume
By Sarah Elliott

Your voice echoes through my head
Again and again, like a broken record
The last words that you said to me
In my memory, they are stored

You left me standing here alone
Shocked and confused, in the bedroom
With bruises, cuts, heartache and
Broken glasses and spilled perfume

Tears streaming down my face
As I realise you are not coming back
Its over now and always will be
Its your love, that I lack.

Stranded with Hades

Crippled tears run,
Sharply down her cheeks;
The pain has returned.

Every emotion,
Every scene,
Floods her mind.

His breath
Lingers in the air,
Suffocating her.

Wild and rash,
He raises his arm;
Heâ??s ready.

Words as sour
As his breath,
Strike her.

The bruising begins,
The drops stream;
Battered and broken.

She is everything,
Everything but ready,
To suffer such hurt.

Deeper he ventures,
Beneath her skin;
A worm crawls.

Despite all screams,
All cries for help,
She is stranded.

No one hears her pleas,
He shoves them all aside,
Lust is his life.

Another victim
Torn that night;
Words hard to tell.

To mumble them aches,
To explain them twinges,
To remember them...

Is Hades and below...

The purity,
Of a delicate angel,
Vanished in minutes.

Oh, What A Day!

Oh, what a long day
Meetings one after another
Will this day ever end
It seems like never

Nothing was accomplished
Information was amiss
If only you were here
I'd be in heavenly bliss

Relentless bickering amongst all
Yet my thoughts drift to you
Why don't they understand
There's nothing more we can do

As I close my eyes
I can smell the essence of you
Your cool refreshing color
And some dark highlights too

Your aroma quite invigorating
Completely possessing me
If I could get my lips on you
I'd take you in so ever tastefully

As I'm lost in your thoughts
Dreaming of your concoction
Hoping no one reads my thoughts
They'd think this was pure seduction

Never mind the others
Enchanted I am with you
Your definitely my desire
Most certainly that's true

This meeting is now over
Alas I am free
By the time I get home
I hope you're waiting for me

Traffic at this hour
Is crazy and bizarre
Everyone seems to be out
I don't even live that far

It's about time I made it
After a hectic day for me
I can finally relax and enjoy
My white chocolate martini.

It's not new, but it's my fave.

Sin-Shine
Sunshine turns to sin
Sinshine falls upon my head
I am graced with the beauty of pain
As once again I must face this dread

Clouds turn to darkness
Mounds sit over me
Their contents spill before my soul
As I try to be free

Trees turn to sadness
Dreams once more shade you
A single leaf comes crashing down
Reconciles the pictures you once drew

Breezes turn too hollow
Freezing days are to come
I try to end this cruel world
But my pain is not yet done

Rain turns to emptyness
Pain flies in my hair
Multicolored rainbows
Cascade with great despair

Days fade to winters
Dazes are of my mind
You'll always be my understanding
Nature calls it's time

She's Everything

by Sarah Ann

I wanted to keep you with me forever,
Laugh...We had good times together
But when I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand.

I wanted to be your fantasy,
And guide you through life happily
But then you turned and my flame died,
And now I know I barely tried.
She's everything and I am pained
To hear her whisper your sweet name.

I wanted to visit our special place
And fall in love inside your grace,
But when I saw she stole your heart
My world trembled and fell apart.
And from my sorrows I descry
Deserts of hurt eternity.

Looking Through The Eyes Of Love
by Italian Stallion

"Absence is to love
As wind is to fire,
It extinguishes the small
And kindles the great."

Easy to love,
But hard to hold.
Life comes and goes,
But love lives on.

Love is a journey,
Through littered roads
With broken hearts,
Not a destination.

Follow your heart,
But let your mind
Be the guide
To an everlasting love.

Two Drowning Lover's Hearts

A cool autumn mist
Lightly caresses my shoulders
As we walk
Along the leaf-ridden path

I lightly peck your cheek
You smile (A picture of true beauty)

The forest sighs
For she is jealous of what we have.

As we walk
Along the colour coded path
The rain is no longer soft
But fierce

We talk...
The way that stars meant for lovers to talk

We can only hear a slight
Pitter-patter
Far in the distance

You laugh (Angel's laughter)
I take your hand
As we walk
Toward destiny's core

You smile
(A picture of true beauty)
The forest laughs
(Remembering the happiness of true love)
The rain softens once more
(Sensing that we are already drowning without his help)

For your smile is enough
To flood the world with
Euphoria
And drown any man's sorrows

The rain stops...

And you turn to me and ask:

"Did you hear something?"

Italian stallion, i have read the first stanza of that poem before, did u copy it or did i just read it on your poems??
thanks
xx

Tis' a true poem written for my beautiful girlfriend --- Please enjoy!

Wings Of A Dove...

Broken battered and undone,
His jaded shards fell in her hand,
To cut her skin but never run,
Chose to stay and love this man.

Mended, tended and complete,
Her heart was bled to make the glue,
To make it whole and give a beat,
To his heart which broke right through.

Lost, alone and bitter cold,
She trapped herself within a room,
With only hope that she'd be told,
That she's alright and not alone.

Guided, loved and sweetly warm,
His heart took beat to hold her tight
That same heart that she made norm
Had swept her up and made things right

Banded, strengthened and in love,
They both looked in the others eye,
Lost in feelings like two white doves,
They spread their wings and stole the sky...

Italian stallion, i have read the first stanza of that poem before, did u copy it or did i just read it on your poems?? thanks xx

^^ It is a quote by: Roger de Bussy-Rabutin, Hence the reason why it is in Quotes.

Mais oui italian stallion i did not notice the quotation marks before hand, one apologises

I Don't Love You Anymore

I try and try to love you,
But my heart keeps saying no,
No matter how hard I try,
To keep it out of my head; it finds a way in,
" I don't love you anymore."

I can't keep pretending to be "your girl",
And it's killing me watching you,
Lose yourself in this love,
That was never to be,
It's just, I don't love you anymore.

I tried loving you,
I truly did,
But the flame burned out,
And the task became harder,
I'm sorry, I just don't love you anymore.

I just don't love you anymore,
I can't see letting you live,
A love that isn't even true,
I'm sorry but,
I just don't love you anymore.

Didn't Even Look Back [its a jumble of words from my heart, sorry if it doesn't make sense =[
by MezmeRyz

I've had bad results in my many tests,
I've always failed, though I've tried my best.
It's like it was all a waste, loving you such,
To call you my best friend; why do I care so much?

Why is it that no matter, how much you seem to hurt me?
I always seem to come back. Why do I force myself to be?
What you want me to be? Why do I care? I'm so confused.
But more than that, I'm hurt, but I don't feel used.

Friends have hurt me. I've been betrayed; but why you?
Why does it never work? Just when I'm thinking too,
Everything will be fine. You leave without looking behind.
Not thinking what will become of me, where will I look to find?

I thought I'd always have your back, you always had mine.
Your friendship was enough for me. But you left without a sign.
I'm not complaining. I didn't want anything in return.
But you left me, walked away; left me in this mess to burn.

I can't help but cry and lie to you; I don't know what to do,
I wasn't waiting for no-other, I was only waiting for you.
I should be used to the torture, but it still hurts so much,
You've made my heart sink and know it needs a crutch.

I try to let you go, let you know my pain,
But I cannot do it, because my heart's so vain.
I want to forget you; I want you to hurt,
But I cannot do it, I feel like dirt.

When I know you're upset, I want to know why,
I want to keep you happy till the day that I die.
I care for you so much, so the pain I cannot hack,
To think; you left me; and you didn't even look back.

What It Takes
by SingingInTheRain

Tell me what it takes to have you in my arms tonight
How long must I wait to make sure everything's alright?
How can we stop ourselves from getting in another fight?
Tell me what it takes to have you in my arms tonight

Tell me what it takes to have you in my arms tonight
I feel so afraid when you're right here by my side
I cannot act like me; my true self seems to hide
Tell me what it takes to have you in my arms tonight

Tell me what it takes to have you in my arms tonight
What should I do when everything about you makes me sigh?
What must I do to when in the dark, you are my light?
Tell me what it takes to have you in my arms tonight

Tell me what it takes to have you in my arms tonight
I want to shake away the numbness that I feel inside
I wish for once this wasn't such a big surprise
Tell me what it takes to have you in my arms tonight

Desires
by J Lau

Dreams and reality collide,
Hope and faith survives.
Desires and fate entangle,
Lust and love entwines.
Vision and goals coincide,
Life and destiny defined.

< - - - - - - - - - - - >

There are so many things in life that are out of our control. So many things we desire, yet will not pocess.
