Bloody glass plz!!

I want World of Illsuions.. BUT I will choose Creator's Game.. too bad we can't do two...

The Creator's Game

He twiddles his thumbs in boredom
"What shall I do today?" He asks.
He looks around with hopeful eyes
His eyes focus on his godly masks.

With a malevolet chuckle, he stands,
He bends and picks up the mask of love.
"Cupid today we shall have lots of fun."
Putting it on he descends from above.

A lonely boy sits by a tree
His face screwed up with frustration
"Why will no one love poor me!"
The Creator's looks around, searching

A man and a woman embrace
"I'll love you no matter what!"
They promise one another.
Creator silently walking, no he struts

He removes his bow and arrow
Takes precise aim at HIS heart
With the flight of an arrow
The promise was ripped apart.

"I will not love a girl like you!"
His "love" falls and starts to cry.
The man walks away, searching
The girl lays down, prepared to die.

The man looks over and sees the boy.
He approaches the boy, leans on the tree.
Love at first sight, how very romantic.
"You are my love, will you marry me?"

A horrified look passes over the boy's face
He quickly runs away, promises not to marry.
The man, heart-broken, lays down and dies.
The Creator, sees the fun is over, grows weary.

Two people dead, one's soul never to be complete
But who shall this awful story put to blame?
But of course, we all know this simple answer.
Obviously it's the Creator and his little Game.

Brittney Schmelter

Hey you.. I'll choose 'A world of illusions' yea? :)

Dear Diary please

Xx Dear Diary xX

Dear Diary
I saw him again today,
I haven't seen him for a while.
He turned around and looked at me,
And he gave me a smile.
My heart skipped a beat,
And a shiver down my spine.
Butterflies in my stomach,
I wish that he was mine.

Dear Diary
Oh my god, I'm so excited,
Diary, i can hardly write!
That brown eyed boy i like so much,
Has finally seen the light!
He asked me for my number,
And he said that he would call.
He said he wants to take me out,
For a milkshake at the mall.

Dear Diary
I'm now officially his girlfriend,
It seems to good to be true.
I couldn't wipe the smile from my face,
Even if i wanted to!
We spend our days together,
And at nights look at the stars.
I wish that everybody in the world,
Had a love like ours.

Dear Diary
Guess what? I'm getting married!
Diary, i have to tell you this!
Something metallic popped in my mouth,
When he gave me a kiss.
It was the most beautiful ring,
It was the perfect day.
I'd better go plan my wedding now,
Cause it's next month in May!

Dear Diary
I can hardly see through my tears,
Diary it hurts so very bad.
My fiance, the love of my life,
has died. I heard it from his dad.
Three years of bliss and love has perished,
Because of one drunken man.
The wedding has now become a funeral,
So much for all our plans.

Dear Diary
I can't take it anymore diary,
I can't live without his love.
It's so unfair, angels took him away,
I'm going to join him up above.
I've taken an overdose of pills,
I feel faint, yet i don't cry.
I'll be with him soon forever more,
And we'll never say goodbye.....

I would love to write "In the end of the world". Caught my eye, and I've already got ideas.
Thanks.

Whispers of Shadows
By Jessica

Clinging onto a fragile existence,
Begging God to forgive many sins,
Reality gripping onto every move,
The struggle for life slowly begins.

Guilt swiftly eating away insides,
Ruby blood suffocating veins,
Blushing cheeks burning skin,
Souls held down with chains.

Demented thoughts linger within,
Salt rubbed into unhealed gashes,
Releasing dirt from shiny eyelids,
Minds silently being turned to ashes.

Black agony smudged across faces,
Fear forcing hairs to stand on end,
Overpowering sobs drench pale skin,
Taking deaths hand when it does extend.

Dark Spirit, I've got one question...
While writing my poem I happened to throw down a couple..."bad words" you could say.
Are those accepted? If not, I will simply change them. I was just wondering.

In the End of the World

So my tongue,
dipped in the crimson of a stone heart
painted clouded skies
for me to slumber
on bloody, chilidish good-byes.

So her fingers vanished in my wrists,
twisting knives,
and smoothly caressed my eyes.
And like a shadow making love in a cerement,
I watched the dark sunrise
in a dance of cardboard swords.

And while I crawl across the black
bathing in broken glass,
I shared with sincerity.
Here we shared a bed of ash,
shattered sheets of Love's trash,
our grief in the golden fields of sexual parody.

Yet you tasted what it was like to die,
and felt broken hearts fall down your spine,
so I hung frances of joy and sorrow out to dry,
and painted their decaying cheeks with impure wine.
Though you left a forest of razorwire
for me to crawl through,
In the end of the world,
I'll still be there for you...

O.k, here's mine :)

*Broken muse* by NyellMoonlight

Fence of the stairs was shrouded with roses,
withered flowers of sensitive seductions.
Edging of the scarlet gown floated over the dust,
in this gothic hall of broken memories, elegantly.

Oh, she doesn't care how pale her face became.
With just one photograph in golden locket
she's about to pursue the prophecies unfolded,
to chase shattered hopes and darkened dreams.

Oh, she doesn't know how invisible she is,
(once the inspiration for the Suns and Skies)
motionless picture fragmented, in black and white
with the memories on what the colors look like.

Played so many parts, wore too many masks...
Devil's mistress in the depths of hell, or maybe divine
white- winged reflection of God's purity,
or just lonely beggar in the night- she preformed well.

Controlled and possessed by many, then finally alone,
left in this cold, hollow world, forgotten...
...The destiny has dealt a new turn,
She has taken her cards, without knowing to bluff.

All deities and demons inside her were torn,
buried in the crypt built with silent prayers.
Broken muse, the one who couldn't fight back
now waves blackness, along with all humans.

I'd like to reserve war please!!!
yaaay

War

The broken colors of a battlefield,
the hungry children in the street;
Blood smothering his ragged smile.
--People that you'll never meet

Cover your eyes, oh, my children;
Shield your ears and hold your breath.
Turn away from those gunshots
rejoice when they can finally rest.

Crackling of an old tv;
The harsh news spewing on the line.
You can't run away forever.
There's no place to hide, this time.

This once had been a paradise.
Hush my darling, don't you cry;
Pay no attention to the screams outside;
It's not yet your turn to fly.

Fake smiles plastered everywhere.
Keep pretending there's nothing wrong.
Even eyes do not betray
the bleeding of their song.

Oh, my darlings, come and play,
Hold your hands and sing;
For if you never take the chance
it won't be laughter that rings.

With guilt eating at their souls
--eyes as black, as cold as dust;
Please just take the blame and stop this war
before we're stripped of every trust.

So hush my darling, don't you cry.
Listen to the dripping tears.
Let the water take you somewhere else,
Where everyone's not consumed by fear.

I just finished it for you:) Just in time, before I get overloaded with school.
I hope you like it, and it's good enough.
:)

--Elly.

A world of illusion.

The blatant sun shed it's hollow light,
igniting burnt stars and sleeping skies.
I watch the cold world in black and white,
with forgotten thoughts and awkward eyes.

My inane eyes trapped my mind,
tormented by static delirium.
The truth I will always cease to find,
tricking me into an asylum.

Awaken to the breath of midnight,
blind owls devoured the pale skies.
I blew out the final candlelight,
to hide my scars, my face and my lies.

Endless progeny of crippled souls,
linger in the wasted night of dreams.
While I descend in malefic nightmare,
the grotesque mask of false disguise screams.

I cower in feverish fright,
miming the morbid dance of the dead.
The deception from my tainted sight,
writhed and withered from inside my head.

Monolith of dented reality,
synchronizing my surreal delusion.
I dwell in the heart of elegy,
confined in a world of illusion.

There are too many excellent poems, so I'm expanding the rewards:

5th place- 5 r/r/c
4th place- 10 r/r/c
3th place- 15 r/r/c
2th place- 20 r/r/c
1th place- 25 r/r/c

I said that this is the greatest challenge *smiles*
Just one more day, post your poems, people!

Lol
i like your pic by the way.

Plz reserve me, "Priceless Words". Thanx

Priceless Words

The raw composition of your touch towards mine,
How my randomness enables an endless smile,
The way your heart beats, despite our far distance,
And reaches me, blithe and listless.

Thoughts, dreams, and condemnations,
Bring about a sweet temptation,
As your words fly forward and reach my ears,
And your soft gaze dries my wettest tears.

I thought my love for you would simply waif away,
But you're telling me so many things I used to wish you'd say,
The way you say you love me just because you can,
How you're glad I take the time to simply understand.

All that I can do is listen to you talk,
I'm acting like a baby that's learning how to walk,
From every single word you utter from your lips,
I feel a little clumsier, as if I just might trip.

We have the most in common, to this day do you say,
And I know it's the truth, although we both have changed,
Throughout these many years, I never ever heard,
The things that you are saying, innocent and priceless words.

Wow... Everyone's poem's are so good! I have like no chance:(.. Hahaha..

Ok this wasn't pointless.
I was actually wondering how long it was gonna take too be judged?

I dunno, how long elaine. he might have said it in one of the pm's he sent me.
but i really have no idea.
lol

Fallen Angel [Acrostic, CinqTroisDecaLa Rhyme, Kyrielle, Italian Sonnet]

It didn`t quite feel complete after one acrostic, so I mixed a bunch of styles into one, not actually as long as it looks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forgetting the past, she readjusts her
Attire, stepping out into the bright bar
Lights. And the gents turn to stare as she
Leaves her deceit behind her in room 31;
Excluding the details, she lays the blame on drunken
Naivety, with a ring on her finger, she shouldn`t be messing around.

A man sits at home waiting by the phone but there`s been
No sign of her since yesterday night. And
Gents are paying her by the hour to bring them to
Ecstasy, as her dulling eyes drift off -
Laying under a panting man, wishing to be at home.

The street lights beam down on her pale face as she paces to and fro,
Working over a pathetic lie in her head, with no place to go;
She can`t face him on a night like tonight, she knows how he gets,
By this time, with no call, he`s likely to have begun the duets -
Mr. Cuervo and Mr. Daniels, sit empty beside a black rocking chair;
His eyes filled with rage, he`s got a few more hours left to spare.
Crouching in the streets, she curses as she tugs at her hair -
And she cowers into a dark alley way, hiding her face of snow;
Lifting her gaze, she stands in spite of the blackened silhouettes;
Swallowing her fear as she silently says a desperate prayer.

Bloodshed in an alley, few words said -
But a bullet lay still in her head,
Falling in deceit, not feeling a thing -
Fallen angel, with no halo or wings.

Shadows squirm at the sight of death,
As she gasps for one final breath;
And she fades with the pain death brings -
Fallen angel, with no halo or wings.

A porcelain body lay in a dumpster,
With no one around to save her -
And her hand wore a wedding ring -
Fallen angel, with no halo or wings.

Raped of her halo and wings, her body lay -
Cold and blue in an abandoned street tonight,
Faded eyes looked out from behind a dull light;
Her blood tampered the dirt of an alleyway;
She wanted to live, but death stood in her way.
And the journalists wanted to get their stories right -
With photographers cameras flashing bright,
Making up stories, saying what they want to say.

'"Another "Fallen Angel" was found today,
Face up in a dumpster, blood all around;
There might have been a few weapons at play,
But the neighbors have not yet made a sound - '
No onlookers confess to the murder,
And not even he recognizes her...

With the news on low, he stares blankly at a television screen;
Trying to digest the dreadful story that he had just seen,
'Must have been horrifying' he mutters under his drunken breath,
Not knowing that it was his wife whom had the run-in with death;
And peering out the window, tears fell from his blood-shot eyes;
As he picked up the phone, so fed up with all of her little lies -
Shouting to an answering machine, he screamed his last good-byes.
And he drove through town, with his radio covering a murder scene;
As a name that he knew drifted through the speakers, he lost his breath -
Not even in her death, was he able to see through her disguise.

Following the traces of blood he
Attempts to make it across the police
Line. "Sorry sir, nobody walks past this
Line," one officer turns to him and
Explains. "Sir, you got to let me in
Now, this fallen angel is my wife!"

And with tears falling down, he slowly
Narrowed his eyes - pale legs and a waist so
Gaunt were flashing in his crystal blue
Eyes as he screamed for her to come back,
Lifting his hands up to the sky: she smiled.

Acrostic Poetry is where the first letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same words as in the title.

-------------------------------------------------

The CinqTroisDecaLa Rhyme, a form created by Laura Lamarca, consists of one 10-lined stanza. The rhyme scheme for this form is AABBCCCABC.

-------------------------------------------------

A 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). There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum. Some popular rhyming schemes for a Kyrielle are: aabB, ccbB, ddbB, with B being the repeated line, or abaB, cbcB, dbdB.

-------------------------------------------------

Italian Sonnet can have either 10 or 11 syllables per line with a rhyme scheme of ABBAABBA CDCDCD or ABBAABBA CDECDE.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"She smiled" - that ending is the way that it is because she didn`t feel needed by her husband...she was cheating to grasp his attention, but all she got was rage. She never ran from death when she looked it in the eye because at that point, it felt right to her...but the "fallen angel" was watching down as her husband finally realized that he had lost her and screamed for her to come back because it was at that point that she realized he cared for her and wanted her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Order of styles = Acrostic, CinqTroisDecaLa Rhyme Kyrielle, Italian Sonnet, CinqTroisDecaLa Rhyme and Acrostic.

First of all you did a fantastic job and it was very hard to chose a winners!:] Some poems are great but they didn't win and I will comment every poem of yours if you submit them. Now this is what I think of your work for this challenge:
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Creator's game-from Brittney Schmelter
^This is great poem, it is totally original and very creative. I like the idea of that piece and you really created unusual but excellent atmosphere. I don't like few lines because you repeated some words many times. I like the ending and you wrote it excellently. Very refreshing piece, I enjoyed reading it. Well done!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dear diary-from Gem
This poem holds a lot of emotions, ending is very interesting and sad. To be honest, I personally don't like this one too much, it is good poem, but it isn't type of poetry which I prefer. It is somehow typical and I love to see some metaphors in the poem. Of course that is just my opinion, and I don't want to offend you but I think that this poem is too long and you could write it better.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Whispers of shadows-from Jessica
I like this poem very much, it is powerful and you wrote it greatly. You created excellent atmosphere and this piece has some original rhythm. You expressed emotions superbly.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Elf's dance-from Andrea Sunny
You impressed me with this one. So powerful poem, with great imagery. First stanza is interesting, second is absolutely perfect and third is amazing. Last line is totally breathtaking. This is one of your greatest poems-this is just my opinion. I love every thing about this one, words are beautifully picked. You should be proud on this piece!
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the end of the world- from Dailin Coldfire
First two stanzas are my favorite. Very unique poem, I love the way that you wrote it. It is emotional and you made superb rhythm. I didn't expected that kind of ending but it is good. Also it has interesting imagery. Original piece... Well done!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Broken muse- from NyellMoonlight
I don't like the last line but the rest of this piece is... Wow!!! So unique topic and it is written amazingly, also rhythm of this one is great. It is so powerful and you created breathtaking atmosphere. Honestly I didn't expected good poem on this title, but this is truly a masterpiece!
--------------------------------------------------------------
War- from Gabriela
This poem really touch me. Very original and greatly written. You described emotions superbly. I like every picture that you created.
So hush my darling, don't you cry.
^This line is excellent and somehow haunting, I love it, maybe you should finish with it-just my suggestion. This poem has special rhythm, it is really great. Well done!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Porcelain face-Crystal Gaze
I like the idea of this poem, it is very good and original. You expressed emotions on a good way. But it could have a stronger atmosphere and I honestly don't like too much how you wrote it. This is just my opinion but I think that this poem could be better.
--------------------------------------------------------------
She was- NiClean
I must say well done! Wording is outstanding, I am putting you to my favorites list. Every stanza is so impressing and effective. Great topic, so unique. I like the ending, actually I love everything about this piece. You wrote it superbly and you described that person amazingly...
--------------------------------------------------------------
A world of illusion-Decay in the dark
Imagery, atmosphere that you created and emotions are amazing! Well done, I like the wording and metaphors are great in this one. Fourth and fifth stanzas are outstanding! You wrote it excellently, you also should be proud on this one, one of your greatest-just my opinion. And it looks like you put your self in to this piece, I appreciate that.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Priceless words- I just called to say I love you
Interesting poem... I like the way you wrote it, second stanza is great, and you described emotions excellently. Once again, just my opinion, I think that this one could be even more better. Rhythm of this piece is a little off in some parts.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fallen Angel-Hollywood xBangbang
I think that it is too long, I read it, and you could say the same thing with so little words. There are some needless parts. Anyway I like idea and the metaphor for falling angel is really interesting. But you could make a stronger atmosphere with just a few words, I think that this piece would be more powerful if it is shorter.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Thats are my opinions for your work and the winners are ( it was really hard to decide):
5.War-Gabriela-5r/r/c
4. A world of illusion- Decay in the dark-10 r/r/c
3.Elf's dance-Andrea Sunny 15 r/r/c
2.She was-NiClean-20 r/r/c
1.Broken muse-NyellMoonlight-25r/r/c
^Congratulations to everyone, every poem of this is amazing! And yes, I will put your poems in to my favorites list!
