The Brightest of Stars [ZaniLa Rhyme]

Smiling with composure she sat back,
Looking to the golden stars,
"The brightest of stars," she softly sighed,
"Are only mine and yours, they're ours!"

And the brown teddy bear smiled so sweet,
With buttoned eyes and matted hair,
Laughing, she kissed his little blackened nose,
"Look, they're up in the sky, up there!"

Twinkling in the sky, the moon sat still,
Surrounded by stars, shining bright,
"The brightest of stars," she softly sighed,
"Are right there, dancing in the moonlight!"

And tears lined her emerald green eyes,
Looking out of her window,
She felt her heart beat, shut her eyes tight,
And she held her breath, then let it go -

Holding her teddy, she smiled and watched -
The sky's silent moonlit dance,
"The brightest of stars," she softly sighed,
"Will be faded soon from the Morning's glance."

Never ending dream, please!

Never ending dream if you please:

Searching for the future.
I'm drowning in the past.
Thoughts of you and me.
Are flying by me fast.

Our relationship is
A Never Ending Dream.
On the surface it's fine.
But it's never as it seems.

Faking kisses and laughs,
So I can see you smile
But I am not so sure,
If I keep on this awhile.

I don't want to hurt you.
I don't want you mad.
I don't know what to do.
This is making me sad.

It's sad to know you love me
With every beat of your heart
But me not loving you back
Is really ripping us apart.

I mean I might love you,
It's just right now I'm not sure.
Everything's so confusing.
Your broken heart has no cure.

My heart is sown together,
I'm ripping at the seam.
But I can't seem to wake up
From this Never Ending Dream.

*The Brightest of Stars please. If you want, I'll do 'Flying' instead since no one reserved it yet.

The Brightest Of Stars

Looking out my window
Something I do each night
Searching for the brightest star
To make my world shine bright.

Millions of stars I see
Yet I bypass them all
Want mine to be the brightest
Not one that quickly falls.

Eyes scanning the sky
Slight smile upon my lips
Those tiny dazzling things
Have caught me in their grip.

This has been my habit
For so many years
Knowing once I find my star
I'll no longer be plagued by fears.

Yet just the other night
Something dawned on me
It took me by surprise
That it took me so long to see.

No longer do I need to search the skies
For already I have the brightest star
I see my star each time I look at you, my love
And I know together we will make it far.

Brightest of the stars please =)

Brightest of Stars please

Never Ending Dream

I'm stuck inside the heartache,
The tears stream down my face.
I'm mapping put my life with a pen-
Where mistakes can't be erased.

You're pulling at my heartstrings,
My heart's broken in two-
You ripped it out and smashed it,
With a simple "I love you."

You may find this suprising,
But, in you, I don't trust.
We built a bridge between us-
Based on lies and rust.

Never again will I love you;
You've lied and cut me deep.
But no matter what I do,
You will not see me weep.

I'm stronger than this,
It's something you've never seen-
I'm rousing myself awake;
Awake from this Never Ending Dream.

Flying

Unaware of who she is,
Regal, rich and raw,
Naivety not innocence,
Is her tragic flaw.

Can't buy class, she doesn't care,
Class don't pay the bills,
Money makes the world go 'round,
And sops up all the spills.

Sin shall be her leader,
If it's the one that pays,
No matter who looks up to her,
She'll wander through the haze.

Flying high upon success,
No limit can be found,
Then it's time to pay the price,
And you're falling to the ground.

.....

Hm, I'll take Flying. Give me a little while; thing's will be hectic, but then and again, I may get it written tonight. So, just hang in there. =]

Flying please

The Brightest of stars
By: Bryce Dressler

The Brightest of stars
have not felt your grace,
the darkest of nights
have yet to see your face.

The quietest of oceans
have not heard you speak,
The dullest of men
are the ones you've yet to meet.

The most gorgeous sunrises
can't compare to your eyes,
The most beautiful sunsets,
of your beauty they despise.

The most loving of mothers
cant express your care,
The closest of friends
could not compare.

The feelings I have for you
is the most exquisite scar,
because your love is easily,
the brightest of the stars.

(C) 2007 Bryce Dressler

Flying

The milk of stars,
Trapped in satin sky,
One silver pool,
Above the world we fly,

Powdered mists,
Mountains of stone,
Luscious green trees,
And deserts alone,

Stars wink in the distance,
The moon shines down,
Night clouds float angelic,
And darkness shall frown,

Wings of a feather,
Flock together,
As our bodies touch,
We shall love forever,

Our lips make the sunshine,
Our hands hold the rain,
Our bodies close the storms,
And we never feel pain,

Porcelin skin,
With baby blue eyes,
Fairest of hair,
Angelic disguise,

The sun rises from the East,
And we dance through the gate,
Our wings guiding us to shore,
And for this we shalln't hate.

Flying plz...
xx gabriella

Flying

A tear brighter than a star,
comes shimmering down from afar,
a wing of gold,
a tongue of flame,
yet this can only lead to shame.

A fear now thrown away,
joyfully welcoming the day,
so impossibly alive.
Four paws of stone,
now running home.

A dream now come to life,
by teeth sharper than a knife,
tail streaming out beneath.
As it screams in it's exalted state,
yet happiness is always too late.

Muscles tired from standing,
wings too sore for landing,
it all was just a dream.
Too long standing on a pedestal,
for this, even god can fall.

Even the darkness sparkles in his majesty,
king of honor and honesty,
yet unseen by all.
And a lion stands alone,
on his golden throne.

And a tear brighter than a star,
can only fly so far,
before it hits the ground.
A feather floating down,
to settle on his crown.

okay!!! there we go
im finished!!!

I enjoy doing Tanka's, so I did one for this. I hope that's ok. =] I loved how it turned out, I can only hope you feel the same! =]
````````````````````````````
Flying {Double Tanka}

For the truth in me,
A small, simple breath within.
Gentle breeze of air,
To chase away lies in me.

I feel like flying,
In a world of new hope.
I wish not to lie --
They weigh me down with burden;
I would much more rather fly.
```````````````````````````````````
Tanka is a classic form of Japanese poetry related to the haiku with five unrhymed lines of five, seven, five, seven, and seven syllables. (5, 7, 5, 7, 7)

Waiting on four poems....

Inspired by this picture...

Xx Brightest Of Stars xX

Stunning blonde hair, always catching the light
A beautiful star, the brightest of bright
An hourglass figure, from her head to her feet
Incredibly sexy, yet ever so sweet

Blowing a kiss with her ruby red lips
A gorgeous white dress, emphasising her hips
Posed over the grid, giving it all she's got
The dress billows up, the famous classic shot

Provocative poses, a coy little smile
Men at her feet, bundled up in a pile
The camera loves her, it can't get enough
Combination of raw magnetism and fluff

Fame, fortune and beauty, the girl had it all
But it wasn't long 'til our star met her fall
An unsolved mystery, a premature death
To this day no one knows why Marilyn left

The brightest of stars in the Hollywood world
A strong sexy woman yet a sweet little girl
But even though Marilyn Monroe may be gone
In Hollywood's heart, her star twinkles on

*Gem*

Turn your face, don't look at me.
What you have I don't want to see.
Your life is hanging by a thread,
of which I, a liar, have misled.

I took it from the path you walked,
put it on the path of which I stalked.
I laughed in the face of fear,
for how wrong you have been steered.

My bravery is fading, as you come around.
Unprotected by the bushes that surround.
The screams of which I hear can't be real.
You're half chained up, and unable to feel.

I stop my breathing, closer and closer they get.
I can only see the shirt, and of that just a bit.
My minds running in circles, faster than I could.
If I could take back time, I know I surely would.

Karma's out to get me, for what I did to you.
I can't get past him, he's fearless and strong too.
I just want to cry my whole heart out,
For, I know exactly what this is about..

I said I'm sorry, I know it was wrong.
The birds just stopped singing their wonderful song!
It's going to happen, he's going to shoot me..
I just wish that, the killer, I could see.

A swift move, I fall to the ground.
Unprotected by the bushes that surround.
He tells me to get up, it's time to go..
A never ending dream, and a mind that I don't know.
