SWEET SURRENDER

Bridled passion
fervent desire
rapidly becoming
a frenzied fire
destined to
devour my soul
frantically warring
self control
sultry motive
extreme need
certain destruction
forsaken creed
vicious burning
intense emotion
caustic to
self devotion
long awaited
sweet surrender
relishing in
passion's splendor

First Time [Glosa Verse]

Lines from First Time by Lifehouse
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WzqAvXmbYU

We're both looking for something we've been afraid to find.
For once in my life, I'm scared to death.
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right.
Like being in love, to feel, for the first time.
````````````````````````````````````

Tear drops splatter on my favorite guitar,
As I sit here, dreaming, wondering how you are.
Your voice is the melody of my favorite song;
The lyrics help to guide me through what is right and wrong.
We're riding phone lines, just to see what we can find -
Wondering if my head is right; you're the image that comes to mind.
Past mistakes just melt away; the heartbreak isn't spoken -
No one wants to dwell on times when we were lost or broken.
So release all inhibitions; let's just free our minds;
"We're both looking for something we've been afraid to find."

It took us too long to realize that what we held was true -
How could it be anything else? All I can see is you.
Sure, there may be distance - but we're not that far apart;
Maybe just in miles, but never in our hearts.
So let's take this plunge and we'll hold our breath;
I'm not afraid to admit that I'm scared half to death -
But I know I'll have you to hold my hand through it all,
And I know that you would catch me, if I began to fall.
So jump in, here we go, as I'm holding my breath,
"For once in my life, I'm scared to death."

You tell me that I'm on your mind - well you're all that's in my head -
I smile with all the memories; I laugh at the jokes you said.
Your kisses felt like thunder, I got lightning in my veins -
You're my antidote to a broken heart; the cure to all my pain.
Never have I known something to be so right -
I would never give you up without putting up a fight.
Some tell me that I'm crazy, they don't know how I feel -
While the rest if the world is fake, you are the one who's real.
So just stay here, with me, and let us save tonight.
"Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right."

So we'll ride these phone lines, hoping for that day,
The day when we can finally do what we always say -
So let's get these hearts beating a little faster,
As I pray for this one not to end in disaster.
But knowing you and me, I know we'll be fine,
And I know that soon, it'll finally be our time.
So keep me in your heart cause I could never let you go.
I just keep telling you that, making sure you know.
It's amazing how I feel, I hope that you don't mind.
"Like being in love, to feel, for the First Time."

Glosa-Verse: A Spanish form invented by court poets in the 14th and 15th centuries. An opening quatrain, called a 'cabeza' is chosen from another poet, or song. The glosa elaborates or 'glosses' on the quatrain with four ten line stanzas, their concluding lines taken consecutively from the quatrain and their sixth and ninth lines rhyming with the borrowed tenth.

Sing With Me [Kryielle]
By: Sweet Fragility

When you look into my blue eyes
I can see the burning passion.
I know you'll never say goodbye.
Sing with me the song of the stars.

Words gently murmured in my ear.
Reminder of your affection.
Rush of ecstasy when you're here.
Sing with me the song of the stars.

The sweet taste of your soothing kiss.
I wish for this to never end.
Your presence would be truly missed.
Sing with me the song of the stars.

I've never sang this song before.
Never felt the way I do now.
You're the only one I live for.
Sing with me the song of the stars.

The Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines), and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the poem consists of only eight syllables. There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum.

Piece of heaven

by Nikki

I get my piece of heaven
When our bodies are entwined
When we are in each others arms
And our hearts are combined

I get my piece of heaven
When he holds me ever so tight
I love the way he hugs me
And keeps me warm through the night

I get my piece of heaven
Every time our eyes connect
I know he will always keep me safe
And my life he will always protect

I get my piece of heaven
With his tender touch
I never knew love could feel so strong
As I love this man so much

I get my piece of heaven
When out bodies melt together
I know that our love will always shine
And we will be happy forever

I get my piece of heaven
And I have not even passed
Now I know what heaven feels like
And forever I will keep it in my grasp

Just Might Have His Radio On

[VERSE 1]

I`m sitting alone with a bottle of cheap champagne,
And my broken heart lets me think it eases the pain,
But my naivety has me sitting up with my old guitar,
Strumming out pointless love songs that won`t get me far.
And there`s a pile of bills left out on the counter -
To be paid when reality isn`t such a pathetic blur.
You say you don`t need a girl like me anymore,
So you packed your bags and walked out that door.
And call me stupid; I never moved to stop you,
But Baby, there was no more savin` left here to do.

[VERSE 2]

And I listen to the footsteps out on the city streets,
They walk by all day, and I`ve found it kind of neat,
In all the time we spent; I thought I knew you well,
But to come back to me? "Not a shot in hell."
Isn`t that what you said? What you really meant?
`Cuz no sweet lies are ever paved into cement.
You can throw out all of the lines that you can,
To any pretty lady that you see without a man;
But just know that drunken words are sober thoughts,
And I`m singing this to you Baby, over you - I`m not.

[BRIDGE]

I learned the art of fake smiles and perfected it;
And this song`s to you, I`ll love you forever; I admit.

[CHORUS]

You can call me pathetic for the anonymous calls;
They must be driving the radio DJ`s up the walls,
But Baby, this song you have to hear; it`s now or never,
And I don`t want lose your beautiful eyes forever.
So I`ll continue making these anxious calls to say:
"Here`s to hoping he just might have his radio on today!"
And I`ll sing a homecoming song to you on the top of my lungs,
Hoping that you`ll tap on those brakes and end your run.

[VERSE 3]

My friends all tell me to move on with my life, forget about you;
But I know that`s something that I just can`t force myself to do,
And you`ve been running away now for fifteen long days,
I`ve got it marked on the calender; I can see it through the haze -
Cigarette smoke clouds around in our four bedroom walls,
And mixed with the vodka, it helps me to take the fall.
But there`s a picture of us from happier times in my hand,
With lipstick smeared across your face and where we stand,
Those rolling hills and the blue pond where we sat,
When you told me you loved me and you left it at that.
I looked into your sky blue eyes, you weren`t lying Baby;
So I hold onto this hope that you`ll come running back to me.

[CHORUS]

You can call me pathetic for the anonymous calls;
They must be driving the radio DJ`s up the walls,
But Baby, this song you have to hear; it`s now or never,
And I don`t want lose your beautiful eyes forever.
So I`ll continue making these anxious calls to say:
"Here`s to hoping he just might have his radio on today!"
And I`ll sing a homecoming song to you on the top of my lungs,
Hoping that you`ll tap on those brakes and end your run.

[BRIDGE]

I learned the art of fake smiles and perfected it;
And this song`s to you, I`ll love you forever; I admit.

Burning Desiresby Jessica

Tiny droplets slither down cheeks;
Scarlet lips shiver in open distress.
Only he can give her what she seeks,
The key to her heart, he does posses.

Fleeting glances send her heart soaring;
Each thought of him, she ends up storing.
Waiting each and every day to be with him,
He is the light in her life, without him its dim.

Yearning for his gentle touch on longing skin,
Impulses urge her towards her burning desires.
Placing tender lips onto his; warmth bursts within.
Entwining two souls; both lovers hearts, it requires.

Beseech The Night (Sonnet I)

A universe within thine eyes delight
Tears well and spill the heaven's mirrored stars
Celestial dreams in hazel tinted night
Eternal pools displaying rippled scars
Your sweet caress my empty arms denied
Longing words fall to silent lonely cries
A poet's verse to quell the ebbing tide
Through lips bereft of whispered breaths and sighs

Oh Love! beseech the night's divine intent
One last bequest of morning's perfect smile
Against thy breast a beating heart content
Embracing gentle comfort for a while
Day breaks her golden glorious sorrow
Blissful slumber keep us 'til the morrow

The lights are dimmed down for the atmosphere
The romantic mood is heightened this year
A candlelight dinner, a table for two
A rose in a glass is glistening with dew

Two years together, still madly in love
Still see each other as gifts from above
He kisses her gently and pulls out her chair
Doing his best to show her he cares

He brings out dinner, a magnificent sight
Pasta and wine bathed in flickering light
They clink their glasses, an amorous toast
He's enjoying his role of the perfect host

They finish dessert, a dark gateau cake
It had taken him hours to perfect and bake
She smiled, thanked him with a tender embrace
With a loving smile spread across her face

They retired to the sofa, happy with bliss
Laughing and talking and sharing a kiss
He ran his fingers though her glossy locks
Before reaching behind her to pull out a box

He opened the box as her eyes opened wide
A shining pink Topaz was gleaming inside
A heart shaped rock with diamonds around
She gasped as he dropped one knee on the ground

When he asked the question, she screamed out "Yes!"
Threw herself at him and cried on his chest
Ecstatic tears at becoming his wife
All it took was a box to change their whole life
