    I'm going to have to wait until my heart stops beating so quickly to chose. [Which means, I'll wait until someone takes one of my desired titles. Lmao.]

    Wonderful titles, though!

    please.

  • Teria

    Where the streets have no name.

    A thousand miles away,
    you lie awake at night.
    Thinking of the day,
    and thinking of our fight.
    Your tears, they stain
    the porcelain face of yours.
    Your screams, they ring
    within miles and miles of doors.
    Your secrets are hidden,
    from the world, but not me dear.
    I can see so far within you,
    that it makes me fear;
    Fear for your life,
    fear for your love.
    Oh, baby I fear..
    I fear more than you'd think of.

    A thousand miles away,
    you sit upon the corner,
    awaiting someone to cast you away
    into a world of of foreigner's.
    You know you'd fit in,
    with everything but
    that color of your skin.
    You know you would.
    And, you scream and you cry.
    I see, I see.. Oh I see.
    I see exactly why.
    I see within you, yes I do.
    As you wonder in that town,
    where the streets have no names.
    Oh, oh, oh.. to you baby, to you..
    it's just a bunch of games.

    And, A thousand miles away
    I lie awake, wondering where you are.
    Because, it's proved that
    you've left me with the biggest scar.

  • Infected with His Deadly Love
    17 years ago

    Already Replaced

    Every time I see you with her
    I think of what we had and wish it back
    My life is no longer complete

    I never thought I would loose you
    But the outcome was different
    Because you left me for her

    I was already replaced by her
    Before you walked away from me
    She was already in your heart

  • Ashleigh Skye
    17 years ago

  • Krazy

    Letters in lipstick please

  • Krazy
    17 years ago

    Letters In Lipstick

    Lipstick letters border every mirror.
    Each one a simple hint of my love for you,
    left with wonder of when you'll respond.

    Love letters hidden around the house,
    signed in red x's and o's,
    all to be sealed with a lipstick kiss.

    I write you through and through,
    yet you only send me two.
    When will you get a clue.

    Hope forms deep down,
    grasping for a sturdy foothold.
    Only to find none after so long

    Lipstick letters border every mirror.
    Waiting for an eyeliner response in return.
    I love you, so when will you love me too?

    Failure by Design
    by SecludedSerendipity

    I always thought that my heart could take
    Any single thing that was sent its way;
    The hurt, torture, sent to me direct,
    My heart would aimlessly be able to deflect.

    Oh how wrong I was, I could not see,
    That the heart only works to some degree.
    The torment I endured, it prevailed,
    And by design, my heart: it failed.

    It may be beating, it may even be whole,
    But it's really just an image, like an empty soul.
    It has no protection, the hurting roams free,
    So ultimately, broken, my heart will be.

  • firexdancer

    Never saying sorry
    thx!!!

  • firexdancer
    17 years ago

    Never saying sorry

    i'm sick of myself
    all this crying and sighing
    this road of dejection
    when i could be flying........
    i wish i could rise
    without holding your hand
    if only i knew how to stand.

    this life of no laughter
    soft footsteps of fear
    as the white birds spin past
    why can i not hear?
    i wish i could sing
    but not only am i blind
    my voice is impossible to find.

    but i will never surrender
    to this endless put down
    i do not need to be loved
    but please just do not frown.....
    i wish i could scream
    yet i'm too afraid someone will hear
    for i do not want anyone to come near.

    no. i cannot keep believing
    that i've paid for myself
    all that i've owed
    or is it set on the shelf?
    i wish i could love
    but a heart can only belong to one
    if only i could live with none.

    i beg and i plead
    in my poor tortured mind
    but i'm never saying sorry
    not while the moonlight does wind....
    i wish i could wish
    but the stars all go dark when i look at the sky
    i'll have to make do with the apologies i cry.

  • Melpomene
    17 years ago

    Can I please have "Angel Dust" Should have it finished tonight. ~mel

  • Melpomene
    17 years ago

    Angel Dust

    Let the angels sweep my child and hold her to the sky,
    Gently rock her to sleep with a sweet babies lullaby,
    Hold her in your arms as a halo floats above her head,
    When she falls asleep lay her upon daisy flower bed.

    Play with her on clouds as she giggles with such delight,
    Please be careful not to wake her as she is afraid of the night,
    Watch her eyes glisten with the color of beautiful blue,
    When she gets her wings make sure her hearts not askew.

    Feed her vanilla custard, As it is her most favorable treat,
    White her favorite color, wear slippers upon tiny feet,
    Protect her with your presence, make sure she is loved,
    Mittens upon pink fingers, through winter keep them gloved.

    Throughout cherub heaven will my precious daughter glide,
    Forever in my aching heart shall this angel always reside,
    Cloaked beyond magic, in a world where it is not my time,
    So until then I will go on and sing our hushed nursery ryhme.

    =To anyone who has lost a child in life=

  • Wings Of Flames
    17 years ago

    Angel Dust

    Her eyes frozen delights,
    Pale snowflakes cross,
    She falls from the sky,
    In grace yet such loss,

    Knots hold her broken,
    To taint the holy soul,
    Embedded in her misery,
    Forever in her goal,

    Her wings burnt and torn,
    As her heart brings her down,
    Heavy tears held within,
    Inside she shall drown,

    An ache unmistaken,
    A power of the dark,
    Alone in this cold,
    The winter must embark,

    Tangled in her message,
    Fighting for the right,
    Dying in the arms,
    Of the darkest light.

  • Midnight Sun
    17 years ago

    May I please have "Bloodless Bond" and "The Perfect Blemish"? I never ask for two at a time but I love these titles! Wish I would have seen it sooner! Great job with them! :)
    ~Midnight Sun

  • Midnight Sun

    The Perfect Blemish:

    "If you had the power
    To change one thing about me
    What would you choose?"
    I asked nervously.

    He replied, "Nothing."
    And I suspiciously asked why.
    Then he turned to me
    And blissfully sighed.

    "Because then you wouldn't be perfect.
    And I love you because you're you,
    Not because you have potential
    Or because I can change your views!"

    I smiled and blushed
    And turned away sheepishly
    I looked back to find him
    Staring admiringly at me

    It was a blessing to find him
    Someone willing to accept imperfection
    One who doesn't love me to change me
    But someone who loves me with the truest affection

    ~Sorry about the flow but it was based on something my boyfriend really said to me and I really wanted to turn it into a poem without changing it too much. I hope it's ok! :)

    WINGS OF FLAME

    I'm sorry but the poem that you presented wont qualify for my contest because the person above you has already posted it and they got their first.. So sorry

  • Ashleigh Skye
    17 years ago

    Wow come on guys get these poems in.. the waiting is killing me.

  • Wings Of Flames
    17 years ago

    But its not my fault that u didnt post it above, cant you just let us both do it.

    Its not my fault its actually yours.

  • Teria
    17 years ago

    Dreams sway from side to side,
    wiping the tears you've most recently cried.
    As moments pass by without notice,
    and you lay beside the person at rest.

    No one can see your deepest insides,
    nor the fears that you've hidden beside,
    beside the ruins of what once was,
    not knowing why or how just because.

    You find yourself upon a pile of sand,
    drifting into another wonderland.
    You've gotten lost within this world before,
    but never have you wanted more.

    The thoughts of the dead, they lingered behind..
    The darkest nights of your defiled mind.
    You've taken advantage of what you had,
    and lost everything under the sun that made you mad.

    And, though a person can only be pushed so far..
    I think you've pushed him pass the millionth bar.
    And as he lies at rest tonight, you realize that you're learning
    the bright side of mourning.

    - - - - -
    I'm doing the other now.

  • Ashleigh Skye
    17 years ago

    Wings of flame...

    im sorry but I thought that it was just commone sence that once a poem says done beside it that you couldn't use it anymore.. sorry but I cant change the rules..

    (BECAUSE I WAS UNCLEAR if you pm me a list with a few poems on it I will comment on them for you, if you want)

  • Ashleigh Skye
    17 years ago

    Teria:

    nice poem but what title is that one for? you didnt leave a title and you have a few reserved so I dont know which one I can cross off.
