    Well hes my poem entitles

    LONLEY

    I sit here
    theres nothing around

    everything is dull
    I don't here a sound

    I feel like
    no ones watching me

    I don't see how
    how this could this be

    all my life theres
    been someone watching my every move

    I always felt
    like i had something to prove

    but now i can be free
    and not have to please

    I can sit outside for once
    and my hair be ruffled by the breeze

    I don't have to care about
    what others think

    under all that stress
    i felt like I'd sink

    but now you are all
    away and gone

    I can finally journey alone
    in the river like a peaceful lonely swan

    Lonely

    I'm lonely, when I can't feel your wonderful touch,
    lonely when I'm missing these memories so much.

    I'm lonely, when I cant see your beautiful face,
    lonely when your not with me in this lonely place.

    I'm lonely, when I can't hear your heart beat,
    lonely when your not here to make me complete.

    I'm lonely, when I can see your beautiful eyes,
    lonely when all I hear is sorrowful goodbyes.

    I'm lonely, when I feel nothing but this misery,
    so I'm here lonely, thinking of these lost memories.

    All done! Maybe not my best work ever... but it does convey lonely :-P (you did say free verse is okay... right????)

    Lonely

    He sits, a living rock of flesh and bone,
    lost amid a vast and endless nothingness.
    What is it he sees in his minds eye I wonder,
    as he stagnates under the suns harsh, unyielding glare?
    Does he dream of love? Youth?
    Or does he contemplate all that has been and
    shall never be?

    He stares across the miles of emptiness,
    eyes clouded, his thoughts hidden from me.
    The wind blows, stirring the sand,
    lifting his hair with playful gentleness.
    Grains spiral like those trapped
    within the hour glass as time slips by
    unnoticed.

    He sits, this rock of flesh and bone,
    knees drawn up to pillow his head
    as if the burden of these thoughts are too great,
    and I shudder with sorrow.
    The cloudless sky does not weep,
    the sand, like time, continues to swirl away
    in the breeze.

    I send the silent thought, "Someone is here.
    I shall stand beside you, and together we will touch
    the cloudless sky and make it weep with joy."
    Does he hear me? Does he know? I think not. His silent form,
    a beacon to my eyes as he sits,
    still unmoving.

    My mind seeks to know, my heart yearns to comfort.
    His distance makes me think of death. For surely,
    this must be what it is like; Desolate, empty, lonely.
    Yet still he is sitting, like Poe's Raven,
    the shadow never lifting, unflitting,
    lost within the labyrinth
    of his mind.

    Lonely

    Think of me,
    Think to that day
    Before we said good-bye.
    Remember back to when
    You promised your heart
    Was forever to be mine.

    Recall those days,
    The ones filled with rain,
    When you promised you'd never leave.
    Were those promises
    For real or
    Completely empty?

    Imagine us
    So long ago
    As gay and carefree as the wind.
    Do you not recall
    Those days when
    We never gave in?

    Now you're scared,
    To love again,
    To trust someone with your hearts' key.
    But I promise you
    That you can
    Trust your heart with me.

    Why must you
    Back out now
    Before we could set sail on the sea?
    I never thought that I
    Would be here
    Hopeless and lonely. . .

    Lonely
    By: Twisted Heart

    There you sit among the clouds
    Your light flickers and starts to fade
    No longer bright, a whisper now
    No longer strong and brave.

    A single speck up in the sky
    Once true and bright to me
    A light so proud to boast a shine
    As you shot cross the galaxy.

    In clustered crowds you used to be
    Outshining all your peers
    Not knowing that longevity
    Would find you lonely here.

    Oh little star that once was brave
    That stood with so much love
    Has now become a lost facade
    Up on the sky above.

    There is no deadline DATE set to this specifically, it says [as Stephen stated] when ALL positions are filled. They`re not. He has a life and a Dad who controls that life, be nice. It`s just a contest. I don`t see why there has to be such a big deal on every contest that gets delayed because of personal problems. Please respect Stephen, he has done a lot for this site and he is an awesome person. No one deserves to constantly be yelled at like this. Especially when there ISN`T a due date to this contest.

    Okay synh, it isn`t the easiest thing detecting sarcasm on a website. When there is a "hahaha" or an "lol" beside it, then it is easier. Sarcasm, which I`m sure you have come to find, is easiest detected through the sarcastic tone of voice. Yes, we all have family problems and life doesn`t give anyone a break, you`re right. But, I just didn`t see why there needed to be a big break out on this when it is stated in the rules that it will end when all spots are filled when only a minority of the spots are filled as of yet.

    And he wasn`t using his family "problems" as an excuse. His excuse was that he has no power cord to his computer. He can`t access the computer with no power cord. We don`t need to all be fighting over this. Just leave it as is. What`s been said already has been said, but most of us have fell short on contests before. And our contests have been delayed. So I think it`s only fair that we all get the equal amount of slack that we deserve from contestants. It is appreciated and will pay off.

    :]

    Synh, I forgive you.

    Let's end this once and for all.

    You are not disqualified.

    We do not talk of this.

    We both edit out our comments so they are like, not visible.

    Deal? =]

    *holds hand out to shake hands*

    And Hellon, I'm sorry if my comment perturbed you in any way.

    Hellon, would you like to enter the contest?
